Continuum Hypothesis and Chaos - smallest-cardinal

I didn't express myself too clearly, sorry about that.
There's a theorem that says that given any set of cardinals, there exists a smallest cardinal which is strictly greater than all cardinals in the set.
Thus, the theorem implies that there must be a least cardinal greater than aleph_0, by taking the set {aleph_0}. Then, one defines "aleph_1" to be this cardinal, whose existence is guaranteed by the theorem.

    No theorem states that as a group of cardinals, there is the smallest cardinal which is strictly greater than all the cardinals were established.
