ZFC and the infinite. Countability as the tipping point. A set containing every successor. Halmos on picking out the natural numbers from this requirement. Subsets of naturals giving the reals in a holy way. (Holy subsets...)
Re-examine the notion that Feferman mentions: we don't have a grasp of "All functions from
N to
{0,1}". So we don't appreciate the depth of such a reservoir.
Binary trees (infinite: countable nodes, uncountable paths). Common errors in this sort of reasoning: Davies re monkeys. 2-dimensional binary tree as showing
[0,1]×[0,1] similar to
[0,1].
