comment A basic doubt on axiom of foundation of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory
MarkS. and @AsafKaragila I know, I know, but I was under the impression that the OP thought it was relatively easy to come up with such a set S, so I encouraged him to actually do it.

comment Category theory - what's the intuition behind diagrams?
actually I would slightly generalize and say that a commutative diagram is a functor on a preorder.

comment Distinguishing equality and isomorphism as relations
@alancalvitti The article on Equality is indeed a little bit confusing. I have already made some minor editing to it today, but I will extensively edit it in the next few days. You can look at its talk page in the mean time. Basically the problem lays in the fact that it uses the same symbol "=" to represent 2 different concepts: the equality, which is a logic constant and the identity relation, which is just another (albeit important) relation in set theory. I will also emphasize/clarify this point in my answer.
