If you are nothing,
and everything is nothing?
You are everything.

If you are a tool,
and a dong is a tool?
You are a dong.

Seems legit.

Nothing has no you or are.

There is no place in this world for nothing.

There is no such thing as true absence of everything. There can never be "is" without anything to verify it. The observer changes it to something. Ah but there is no need for a human or any intelligent observer. The observer is nature itself.

Alan Watts takes it a step forward: nature is intelligent for it evokes intelligence, by which it can play hide and seek within and from itself. All the senses evoked by the intelligence are novel means by which to experience and hide from itself. It has played this game for a very long time and every now and then it's choice in gamer is far-out. Every now and then it's choice is one of unnecessary suffering.

Or so the story goes...

A National Acrobat

I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces
Is my one and only crime
I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived

When little worlds collide
I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell
And flashing memories
Are cast into the never ending well
The name that scorns the face
The child that never sees the cause of man
The deathly darkness that
Belies the fate of those who never ran

The Snow Man

One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;

And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter

Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,

Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place

For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

-- Wallace Stevens

So it follows that "everything" must exist?

That's actually where I instinctively end up when I contemplate the incomprehensibility of philosophical nothingness

0 . infinity = 0 . me = 0

divide by 0 gives

infinity = me

About half the time I tried nothing, I found something. About half the time I tried something, I found nothing. I'm just gonna wait for a surprise like came out of no where. Wait...No where. How can any where be no where and still be any where? This is all nothing's fault.
