There are at least 3 problems here:

1.  This is utterly off topic; translate it into Lojban and I'd be
more interested.  Using "da" does not make it interesting.

2.  You're using special magical characters that aren't in my UTF-8
font; since I've put a lot of effort into my UTF-8 setup, I can only
assume that most people reading this get horrible mangling.  Just
use ASCII replacements for the notation like everybody else.

3.  You've missed the point entirely.  The *point* of Russell's
paradox was to show a problem with *19th century* set theory.  The
fact that you, a student of modern set theory, can resolve it or
show it not be a paradox simply means that Russell succeeded at
fixing the problems he saw.
