You cannot possibly be that barber.

Fair enough. But what did you think about my point? Proving a description of something purportedly in existence, to be logicly flawed, impossible to be accurate, does not prove non existence of the thing. It proves the description to be innacurate. I quickly admitted that the paradox was sound, but that the conclusion was too broad. I want people to be very clear about their conclusions.

FAIL!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, caught him on a technicality. I never saw it, so well done. I would have to assume the mistake was just an oversight, however, seeing it is still clever. So well done:)

When I replied to you I forgot I was subscribed to you. I really need to spend more time watching the videos of those to whom I am subscribed!

However, to fully understand your argument I would now have to go through all the comments on the video to fill me in.

LOL!

This is a quote from Wikipedia:

"This paradox [the barber's paradox] is often attributed to Bertrand Russell. It is analogous to Russell's Paradox, which he devised to show that set theory as it was used by Georg Cantor and Gottlob Frege contained contradictions."

[cgo11]

The barber paradox is not an instance of Russell's paradox.

The barber paradox does not talk about sets at all.

It is false to say that Russell's paradox, destroys Frege's number theory.

[earlyphilosophy]

The Barber's Paradox shouldn't really be taken too seriously. It is just an ilustration of Russll's Paradox concerning sets. Russell's Paradox is taken seriously because it showed that, if numbers are described as classes, there are classes of numbers which "cannot exist" so to speak. Thus destroying Frege's theory.
