"Because 'nothing' is logically impossible as a state of being, by its definition."

I'm not sure I understand.

My understanding is that a logical impossibility does not necessarily refer to reality. It's also an unfalsifiable statement, as much as is the existence of god.

I don't believe in gods, and a bunch of other things, including my survival after death, due to a lack of empirical proof.. I can't prove that, nor do I need to, not having made claim.

Are you saying that individual oblivion is a logical contradiction, or simply that the absence of an undefined 'something' is a logical contradiction?

I don't understand how to relate your claim to my reality .

My position is summed up pithily on a Roman tomb on the Via Apia not far from Rome:

" I was not
I was
I am not
I don't care"

I only had a year of philosophy. Never came across this notion. Just as well, it's doing my head in

Could you possibly explain the basis for this claim, and why it matters, in that it is unfalsifiable ?

Plus, of course the method you used to arrive at such a conclusion.,and of course what makes your inference true.

I'd be most grateful if you use small words; I looked this up on Wikipedia, and couldn't follow the language.
