Mar 29, 2019 at 7:04 comment added user137602 Got it. Thank you for the answer!
Mar 28, 2019 at 23:27 comment added Skeeve @NateEldredge thanks a lot, I've tried to integrate that approach into my answer.

add discussion of cardinality
Mar 28, 2019 at 21:52 comment added Skeeve @bof thanks a lot for the suggestion, I've updated my answer using it.

Mar 28, 2019 at 12:51 comment added Nate Eldredge The comment of Andreas Blass on the question gives another argument that, in ZFC, there exists a non-Borel set of cardinality $\aleph_1$. Again, no CH needed.
Mar 28, 2019 at 12:38 comment added bof Why don't you just take a non-Borel set of minimum cardinality and well-order it so all initial segments have lower cardinality? That just needs AC, no CH at all.
Mar 28, 2019 at 12:15 comment added Skeeve Sorry, you are right. It is not clear wether one avoid using weak CH (I will try to come back to this later).

Mar 28, 2019 at 12:04 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo You haven't. You still appear to claim that $2^{\aleph _0}<2^{\aleph_1}$.
Mar 28, 2019 at 11:55 comment added Skeeve Thanks for pointing this out, I was not aware of these facts! (corrected the answer)

Mar 28, 2019 at 11:43 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo Also, without choice, it is consistent that every set of reals is Borel.
Mar 28, 2019 at 11:10 comment added Goldstern You seem to use the inequality $2^{\aleph_0}<2^{\aleph_1}$, also known as "weak CH". This is not provable in ZFC. - Also, I don't think you can prove from ZF (without AC) that the reals contain a set of cardinality $\aleph_1$.
