Hm, this idea has been on my mind since i read it, i still dont agree with it really, but at the same time i dont know how to exactly explain why. But i guess i'll give this an actual attempt instead of my little joke in the first post.
Before i start though i want to make sure were on the same page when were using the terms 'Nothing' and 'Everything'. By 'Nothing' i mean nonexistence, no thing or not anything. And by 'Everything' i mean all things as a whole, or the total of all things. I'll just work out a few things that i saw kinda weird with the scenarios you can come up with if the statement 'Everything is Nothing' were true.
- Everything is Nothing (E = N)
- Everything is the total of all things (E = T)
- The total of all things is greater than one thing (T > 1)
- Everything is greater than one thing (E > 1)
- Nothing is less than one thing (N < 1)
- Everything is Nothing (E = N)
- Everything is less than one thing (E < 1)
- Everything is Everything, Therefore... (E > 1 = E < 1)
Contradiction?
