CS took words that mean almost nothing like "object", "this", "type", "widget", and somehow turned them into jargon with very specific and exact meaning.
@amaral I very much do blame Bertrand Russel, regardless of topic
@amaral reason being that Bertrand Russell has planted all these paradoxes in my head and I can no longer sleep at night
@jordyd Cantor?, are you (still) alive?
@amaral he can go diagonalize himself
