Meinongianism posits that for any condition on objects, there is a unique object satisfying exactly that condition. However, for any plurality of objects, one could construct the condition of being a thought about exactly those objects. But, by Cantorian diagonalization, that means that there are more of these thoughts than objects in Meinong's Jungle. But these thoughts are within Meinong's Jungle. Therefore, Meinong's Jungle is larger than itself. Contradiction.
