My mind is blown, then pulvirised, then put back together, only with 2 copies this time.

Hi and welcome to Minr.org
Who are we?
We are minecrafts 3rd oldest server and the oldest challenge and parkour dedicated server in the world. Our map dates over 7.5 years and our server has had an uptime of 99%. We have over 250 challenges which will keep you occupied for months. All of our challenges have been created by our member base who have completed our hardcore maps. You yourself could one day be creating a challenge for our server if you ever achieve the green membership rank. For more information about zero.minr.org click here...

The logic used is a bit flawed, but the concept reminds me a bit of this:

Realized it's not fair to call logic flawed without explaining.
In the first video, the definition of what infinity is is incomplete. It describes it as a size when in fact it is a concept. This is covered in the second video when they call an infinity a collection of every possibility.
Therefore, I argue that it is more accurate to call a numerical infinity the collection of every possible number given by the parameters of the descriptor (an infinity of all real numbers is not the same as an infinity of all even numbers), and to say that the size two infinities in which the size of the itterations is different are the same is false. Furthermore, by eliminating a point within an infinite set, you are actually defining a new infinite set in which that point is not a possible value.
One other thing that bugged me was the pabeling of the points of the circle. He claimed that no one point would be labeled twice, and then labeled the same point twice (RUL and U). The re-composition if one into two is entirely based upon this multi-labeling and ignores the void space that would be present if there truely was only one copy of every point. The rotation is just a smoke-and-mirrors tactic to avoid the fact that you have a different infinity than you started with.
