    I challenge you to show the line-by-line list of names of people who

    ZFC proves there is no such barber.

    So does the naive set theory that is used in Russel's paradox.
    The paradox proves that the naive set theory is incosistent,
    and an incosistent theory proves everything, including
    that there is no such barber.

    ZFC does not allow the sets representing

    to come into existence.

    Did you know this about ZFC, or are you a newbie?

    Nothing in my question states that {a barber that shaves everyone that >>>>>> does not shave themselves} comes into existence. Did you know this >>>>>> about reading comprehension, or are you illiterate?

    In other words you just admitted that your own question

    You had a loophole that I corrected: a female barber gets around
    your above question, thus has a correct answer.

    nor is it a set that contains all sets that do not contain themselves.


    "Does a barber shave every person who does not shave themselves?" is
    also not a barber who shaves every person who does not shave
    themselves. It is, in fact, a question written in the English language.

    The key point that I am making is that ZFC sets the precedent
    that undecidability can be abolished by correcting faulty definitions.

    ZFC does not abolish undecidability. There are formulas of ZFC that
    are neither provable nor negations of provable formulas. There is no
    method to determine whether a formula of ZFC is provable. (There are
    partial methods that don't answer for every formula.)

    That, too.

    However, your DD does not ahave a repeated state. Every time it reaches
    a state that is similar to an earlier state the stack is bigger, so the
    state is not the same. As the memory space for the stack is limited, so
    DD cannot run forever
