philosophically, the concept of "nothingness" sparked quite a lot of discussion. The general consensus seems to be that nothingness consists of nothing (duh). But stop right here and think about what we just said.Kaienyuu wrote:

"Consists of [x]" is still putting something in the brackets, it is ascribing a quality, and attribute as whatever comes before "consists". But this can not be, since is nothingness is supposed to not contain anything, not [nothing]. Saying that nothingness contains nothing, is still attributing something to it, still ascribing a quality, which contradicts the nature of nothingness. Nothingness is [nothing that can be expressed] (oh see, I just ascribed another quality and thus, failed).
