From Parmenides to Hegel, they all got this crucial philosophical concept wrong. The existentialists also, but those are not even worth commenting... %&!?!$ bunch of talentless hippies.

I decided, finally, that my philosophical achievement deserved to reach the brightest minds; hence, I am throwing this diamond among the fine gentlemen and the cosmopolitan ladies who honor this forum with their presence, as they are possessors of unique intelligence and exquisite culture.
Nothing.- Is a taco of minced meat, with no minced meat inside and no tortilla outside.

Is it valuable to "know" or is it enough to "believe"?
For knowing what "nothing" is surely is better guide to correct action than mere belief.

and never ask me "why"...
