I'm looking for an intro into set theory for a very non mathematical person. Everything I find uses numbers, sets of sets of sets, and such things.
Did the mathematicians loose their marbles? :-)
I mean, explaining sets using marbles should be an easy way to introduce the concepts. Only if those are understood, it may be sensible to go to Hilberts hotel, Russells paradox, and maybe, just maybe to Cantors diagonal argument.
Suggestions welcome.

"Did the mathematicians loose their marbles? :-)" - yes, some of them did, as did some Physics journo's! π https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/115642725878742794
"Cantors diagonal argument" - all Cantor's rubbish is easily proven wrong, hence why other Mathematicians called him a madman https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/116276431640577565 followed by him trying to peddle his idea to the Catholic Church, who ALSO rejected him π https://www.wired.com/story/book-excerpt-the-great-math-war/
