So anyone know what the fuck's with all these self-serve ads now? They were funny for the first hour but I'm worried I'm going to have to see "le funny in-joke irony memes" 24/7 now.

It's a stand-in name, but the view ascribed isn't all that uncommon. Look at Brentano and Meinong. The basic idea is that we can have thoughts with the content that "X does not exist." On a pretty simple account of meaning that proposition ("X does not exist.") means something; but to mean something each term has to denote something, otherwise there's no way to distinguish the meaning of the claims "Santa does not exist" and "Rudolph does not exist." So on the Meinongian view, Santa and Rudolph must exist, in some referentially-accessible sense, even if they aren't "actual" (good luck explaining that distinction). Quine objects to that, since it introduces the existence of too many things (i.e., pretty much everything) via a philosophical maneuver about meaning. So Quine goes on to give his account (which echoes Kant) that existence isn't a property and when you say "Santa does not exist" you are not asserting that there is a thing, Santa, that lacks the property of existence. Instead, he pushes "existence" into a logical sense (instead of a property/predicate) and translates the meaning as something like "It is not the case that anything is Santa-like."
Of course Quine himself doesn't even get it right when he starts by asserting the naive proposition that "Everything exists," which would have to get an analysis like.. "For all X, X exists?" But then existence is again a predicate.. So it's still a puzzle.

Anyway if you don't get paid AND you have to watch ads you're definitely getting scammed so I guess I understand you're power trip now. It's what you pay for.

Quine's position is a form of ontological parsimony. He thinks that you should try to keep your ontological commitments (what your committed to asserting exists) to a minimum.

Quine is opposed to possible worlds from modal logic being considered as real existing things because it's difficult to differentiate their identity from each other and other philosophical problems.
