How is it disastrous to "lump every [infinite] countable set together"?
Does it lead to a mathematical contradiction? It doesn't that I'm aware
of.
It doesn't. It is simply a property of potentially infinite initial segments of actually infinite set. Disastrous is that some naive minds are lead to believe that the actually infinite sets have "in fact" same substance. Assisted imbecility.
The cardinality of N is aleph-0.
What is the "reality" (in this sense) of N?
The substance of ℕ is |ℕ|. It is larger than every finite set. The
substance of the set of prime numbers is far less than |ℕ| ....
By how much is its "substance" supposedly smaller? Quantify it!
It cannot be quantified yet. That would be a rewarding subject of future research.
.... but larger than every finite set. These are useful mathematical
findings.
Are they? What use are they?
Some researchers may be interested.
What mathematical theorems do they enable
the proof of?
Mathematical theorems can only be proved by use of potential infinity.
