> Similarly when people say "the rationals are countable" and "the computable numbers are countable" this is taking for granted the Cantor notion of measuring cardinality by bijective correspondence, once again, a theory that yields nothing of value except endless paradoxes and naval-gazing nonsense.

You may enjoy a recent update on that story [0] that maybe avoids a few paradoxes and looks at things other than navels.
