Original Question
One of the axioms in set theory, extensionality, says that if two sets have the same elements, then they're equal.
Let's define "meaning" as the set of all meaningful things. For example, "the dog" is not in that set because it is not meaningful.
Is "meaning" a member of itself? Why or why not?
Answers
1Well, "Let's define "meaning" as the set of all meaningful things."
That is too vague to qualify as a set, as "meaningful things" is subjective, and not absolute.
To you, [dictionary content] can be meaningful, whereas to me, [caxiphalian neo-pluralism] is far more meaningful.
I hope that answers your question.
