Do you know Cantors theorem? Do you accept Cantors theorem: "Theorem B: Every embodiment of different numbers of the first and the second number class has a smallest number, a minimum." Do you agree that or every FISON the question whether it is necessary can be answered? >> >>> Each FISON is a proper subset of ℕ >>> Each FISON is not ℕ >> >> Therefore each FISON can be dropped from >> the set of candidates. > > Candidates for what office?
