I need books about nothing, about nothingness, about the idea of zero.

Try Infinite Jest, most of it is precisely what you are asking for.

zero is not nothing, it's the potential of becoming something, nothing is inexpressible.

BEE- less than zero

Zero is off, one is on.

>>8687864
zero implies a one, nothing is nothing, it's not the same.

>>8687863
Looks like meaningless trash.

>>8687867
It's a book about love for words, sentences, people, life and Dublin.

>>8687870
It remains nothing if no one is switching it on.

zero and one are spooks

>>8687873
no as long as it exists as a potentially it is not nothing, it is the potential for something, it implies the possibility of being something, while nothing is nothing.

Doesn't exist

>>8687882
How is it a problem for nothingness remaining nothingness for it to be a potentiality for being something?

>>8687886
We're off to a good start!

>>8687889
because nothing is completely devoid of anything, zero is meaningless if the 1 has no possibility to exist and therefore it is not a sign which can be defined as nothing, 0 is another name for unrealized potential but it's not nothing.
in a linear timeline a potential is something because it implies there is something which on a later time would be realized otherwise the potential never really existed.

nothing to you is something that exists in a vacuum outside of the universe

In zen they say, emptiness is form.

That part before getting born is the true nothing

In the midst of everything we are in nothing, etcetera etcetera

I'm too dumb for Heiddeger and don't feel like reading Sartre

>>8687825
let me write it for you:
how you like it?

>>8688130
Heidegger isn't tough once you get the vocabulary. Here's the key to BT "the history of philosophy has wasted its time trying to abstract from daily life, true being. I'm here to illuminate everything that can be formally said everyday existence."

>>8688473
Arid conceptualism.

>>8688498
in other words: stop living in the books, hit the gym and go get laid?

>>8688642
As for what heidegger is saying? No absolutely not

>>8687825

Blanchot is what you're looking for. Books so thoroughly empty they might as well have been licked clean by the tongue out of a null-asshole.

No! It's not fucking fair that the french get to always be the darkest and most dead in style. I will never read another french book as long as a live.

Give me worthlessness and misery that isn't fucking french please.

Why? You'll know exactly as much as you do now even if you read every book on the subject.

>>8689096
or understand it as much, rather

Have you heard of Bardo Thodol? It's a whole book about what happens after you die.

I like this guy

How the f has no one mentioned the Tao Te Ching? Y'all call yourself real mofos? Laozi was the OG on nothingness

“A story? No. No stories, never again.”

I'm in love.

“A word may give me its meaning, but first it suppresses it. For me to be able to say, 'This woman' I must somehow take her flesh and blood reality away from her, cause her to be absent, annihilate her. The word gives me the being, but it gives it to me deprived of being. The word is the absence of that being, its nothingness, what is left of it when it has lost being - the very fact that it does not exist.”

“We cannot do anything with an object that has no name.”

what a shit thread, anons should be ashamed
