I can't tell what this is. The first link might imply that Gwern thinks I misstated the Interesting Number Paradox (I looked at the Wikipedia article before I wrote my post, but went with my memory, and there are multiple equivalent ways of saying it, but if you think I got it wrong ....? Or maybe it was offered as a handy reference.

The Berry Paradox sounds like a very different kettle of fish ... with more real complexity.

I would bet on this one.

More meta: Perhaps your priors for "if someone replies to my comment, they disagree with me" are too high. ;-) Maybe not for internet in general, but LW is not an average internet site.
