consider two sets: set a and set b. both set a and b contain all horses, ane nothing else. they are always equivalent.

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago

Sure, but does the set of all sets that don't include themselves include itself?

[-] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Easy. If and only if the integer sequence A053169 contains the number 53169

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago

[-] steventhedev@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Gotcha. So all horses are purple?

[-] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

But how can set b contain all of the horses if they're already in set a???
