The Man said:
Once again you seem to be engaging in some kind of anthropomorphism where a set (the collection itself) becomes some kind of “collector” requiring some activity like actually having to collect the elements of the set.
The “activity” is a direct result of your flat reasoning, which can’t comprehend the concept of different levels that stands at the basis of any given collection, the notion of different level is expressed as collector\collected hierarchy of existence, where the level of collector’s magnitude of existence is stronger than the level of the collected magnitude of existence.
The Man said:
So you do still have a problem with a set being a member of itself and more specifically an infinite collection being complete.
So you do still have a flat-land reasoning problem with a set not being identical to any of its member s and more specifically, the fact that an infinite collection being incomplete, which is a straightforward result that is derived from the different magnitude of existence of collector\collected w.r.t each other.
The Man said:
We have been over this before Doron, a set simply defines what constitutes its members. That definition is complete, in and of itself (it includes all the members of that set). Other than simply defining the set, there is no activity like collecting, comparing or listing the elements (or even adding more brackets) that needs to be completed.
The notion of “an activity that is needed to complete something” is a direct result of your flat reasoning, that can’t get the he different magnitude of existence of collector\collected w.r.t each other. But this is your flat level-less reasoning problem, that has nothing to do with OM’s reasoning about the considered subject.
The Man said:
Only in fiat-land (your universe, Doron) do you simply continue to assert what you would like others to ‘agree’ with regardless of what they keep telling you.
You tell me nothing The Man, as long as you speck form a universe that has no different levels of existence, known as flat-land.
The Man said:
So you are not confused or just some other third alternative, but simply just lying?
If I am lying it means that jsfisher does not agree with your assertion that a set is identical to its member.
Simple as that.
The rest mambo jambo jsfisher ‘s replies on this subject, do not hold water.
Let us do some demonstration of his mambo jambo reply:
I wrote to jsfisher:

Your agreed reasoning, which asserts that a member is identical to its set, does not hold water.
Jsfisher response was:
jsfisher said:
Where did I agree to that? You are lying again, Doron.
It must be stressed that the “agreed reasoning” is the traditional reasoning, which accepts the notion that a member of set X is identical to set X.
If I am lying by claiming that jsfisher agrees with the traditional reasoning about the considered subject, then jsfisher's reply (“Where did I agree to that?) actually reinforces my argument that he does not agree with the traditional (agreed) reasoning about this subject.
By using jsfisher’s reply on that subject, it is clearly understood that if I am lying, then jsfisher has at least two alternatives, which are different than the traditional (agreed) reasoning about this subject, as follows:
Alternative 1: jsfisher does not agree with the traditional (agreed) reasoning about the considered subject, by taking the opposite notion, which claims that no member of set X is identical to set X.
Alternative 2: jsfisher does not agree with both alternatives, which are:
1) OM’s reasoning: There can’t be a member of set X, which is identical to set X.
2) Traditional (agreed) reasoning: There can be a member of set X, which is identical to set X.
So as you see, even disagreement with (1) and (2) is an option for jsfisher.
In order to clarify jsfisher's reasoning about this subject let us ask him a simple question:
jsfisher please choose one and only one of the given options:
1) OM’s reasoning: There can’t be a member of set X, which is identical to set X.
2) Traditional (agreed) reasoning: There can be a member of set X, which is identical to set X.
3) I disagree with (1) and (2) and my reasoning about this subject is: [please write your reasoning]
