That's quite a set of definitions

If the set of definitions contains the word set, does the English language implode in a recursive cascade of paradoxes?

A set can totally contain itself. A better question would be: Consider a set, that contains all sets, that do not contain themself. Would that set contain itself?

Yes, just relax the axiom of comprehension, allow U ∈ U and move on with proving things for fun and profit. No one said that you have to pick axioms that seem natural or intuitive.
