Philosopher quintan smith points out that it is a logical fallacy to talk about nothing as if it were some thin that is not obstantiated. The very act of talking about nothing makes it something or else, so what are we talking about? In kune's taxotomy of nothings he lists what categories of things might be included in something that would be negated by nothing. Physical, mental, platonic, spiritual and god. And this goes on for pages and pages. I don't even know what i'm talking about. I'm reading the words, but i don' know what it means. Nobody does. Ok? Second point, nothing is something.
