>So, one grain of sand is a heap?
"Is a single grain a heap" doesn't look like a paradox to me. A "heap" is just a word with an ambiguous definition. Once you define it, you'll have your answer :)
>Then, nothing's really the same
If that was the case, intelligence would've been impossible. We need similarities as well as the differences to be able to compare things (including abstract concepts)
