Still, love their arguments, like Many people find sets to be a more natural context to work in.
What should do people who doesnt? There will be a war.

no he is quite right. sure you can learn CT without set theory. but if you really want to know the motivation for the "reconstruction" of set theory, then maybe you should look at it to a better understanding of CT
Then I guess UC Berkeley is going about it the wrong way -(. I guess the school just can't compete with the elite joints like Devry or the University of Phoenix.
set theory is a nice and simple thing that you can use to rigorously define other things, but nothing is really stopping you from trying to define everything directly, or from using an alternative vocabulary to define your constructs. It can aid your intuition to think about things from this point of view. The details in the set theoretic definition can become very arbitrary and distract you from what it is all really supposed to represent. You do need some underlying logical framework though, if you want to be able to prove anything. But the choices used in setting up that framework are arbitrary.
MATH HAS NO CONSTRUCTS TO DEFINE WHETHER OR NOT THE FUNCTIONS PERFORM INSTANTLY, SEQUENTIALLY, IN PARALLEL WITH n CORES, ETC, THREAD OVER. (NO PUN INTENDED)

Terse answers do not mean anything. Use a dictionary if you need help understanding my simple language.

define "mean"

Used. Your language is incomprehensible, due to lack of "mening".

I'm not going to be your dictionary. My words are simple and they convey a simple meaning. It is your job to use a dictionary and apply the closest definition to words you don't understand.
transitive verb
1
a : to have in the mind as a purpose : intend <she means to win> —sometimes used interjectionally with I, chiefly in informal speech for emphasis <he throws, I mean, hard> or to introduce a phrase restating the point of a preceding phrase <we try to answer what we can, but I mean we're not God — Bobbie Ann Mason>

Your answer shows that you're out of viable arguments. I will interpret it as your surrender.
