define tangible

>>978522

Touchable. Something that can be expressed in ways other than being non existent. Like the number zero is tangable, it represents nothing. But the fact that it's representing something makes me think that it might be tangible.

define zero

Nihilism

The set containing zero is not equal to the empty set. Therefore zero is entirely tangible.

Define "ever"

>>978541

The absence of anything. Like if there are zero cats (First thing that came to mind) there are zero cats. I know that sounds redundant but there would be an absence of cats.

Existentialism

Define "is".

The human mind cannot perceive nothing.

Nothing doesn't exist.

You don't perceive the ABSENCE of cats itself, you don't perceive them at all. It's a lack of of cats. There is no sensory input. There is nothing to perceive. Therefore there is nothing that CAN be perceived from it. If it cannot be perceived, then it isn't tangible. Especially since the very point of tangibility REQUIRES the existence of something to be experienced.

Nothing's the easiest thing to conceive.
Imagine something. Anything at all.
Okay, now get rid of it.

I can perceive that I am not sneezing from all the FUCKING CAT DANDER

But there is still something there. It's just that the original object is no longer a part of it.

If I were to imagine a dog. Now I make it vanish. The blackness-- rather, the CONCEPT of blackness is still there, there is SOME kind of background. You mind fills in the lack of input with SOMETHING.
