It seems to me that the simplest infinite
collection is the collection of natural
numbers, whether you call it a set or not.
If this is not a finished infinity, as distinct
from a potential infinity, then there must be
at least one natural number n that doesn't yet
exist. But since n is a natural number, it exists.
Reductio ad absurdum.
