Paradox of Zero.

[talanum1]

We have:

(0 = 0, 0 -> True) -> (0 = 0 -> True) -> 0 = True

but we also define:

0 = empty set

which is false. We can't define 0 as the negated empty set because this implies 0 = 1 = 2 ..., so were stuck with the paradox.

That doesn't look like a valid logical formula. What does, "->" mean?

Also, you're mixing up different kinds of objects. Numbers, truth values, and sets are distinct. You appear to be using them interchangeably.

It means: "therefore".

"0 = True" means we can assign the truth value "True" to zero. Zero is a set.

0 = True" means we can assign the truth value "True" to zero

We can't. It doesn't follow logically. 0=0 is a true statement. It doesn't make the number "0" true or false.

'Therefore', in logic is written as such: ∴ and not as such: ->

 

[talanum1]

We can relate the empty set and "False", but the empty set is defined equal to "0", so we can relate "0" to "False". Just impose the properties of a variable onto "0".

At least he's socialising.

I don’t do drugs but sometimes my wife leaves space gummies around the house, and then I find them, and think they’re just sweets, and then next thing I’m baked.

Your wife sounds awesome though.
