The following is the set theoretic (and more efficient) way to describe the well ordering principle
(as david hilbert once said, let no one prevent you from entering cantor's cartoon world).

N is a well ordered set under the usual ordering <=.
What is a well ordered set? A set with the property that every subset has a minimum.
The "well ordering principle" is a mutant of ordinal set theory and leads to confusion.
It seems redundant.
"The well ordering principle says that the set of natural numbers is well ordered."
So then just say that N is well ordered.

What us the purpose of having Well-Ordering Principle to start with?

At 21:41, can't you define a bijective function to map the finite part to a subset of the natural numbers anyway? and then compare the two minimums?

@ 0:28 States that the WOP is only true for NN, which is false. The WOP holds for any subset of ZZ bounded from below or bounded from above.

I liked the part in 19:45, on the extension of the well-ordering principle. I came up with an example that would work visually. Make the set A be the set of complex numbers with the restriction that you have a helix of growing radius such that at every revolution it crosses the real axis, with the starting point being the (1, 0). At all of those crossings the complex number hs an image on the set of natural numbers. Given that we start from the element that maps to 1, the first natural number according to your convention, the set A is non-empty. So, the well-ordering principle applies. Yeah?
