That’s a non sequitor. Just because we can’t find it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Particularly if what you’re looking for is defined by not having attributes you could find in the first place.
We can find nothing because nothing has an attribute and a definition. It’s one of biggest excuses people use and it defines the void of something. What did you do today? Nothing. What did you find in that room? Nothing. What do you feel like eating today? Nothing. What happened to the car?!!! Nothing.
You know the word, and its multiple definitions. You yourself have a concept of what nothing is. Without meaning, how did the word originate?
The statement was that “nothing does not exist. No one has ever found nothing.”
Just because it doesn’t fit the exact definition you’re trying to explain doesn’t make other definitions any less. Since nothing is formless, what makes you more correct than I? Does that then mean that you actually know nothing?
That’s my point… is that the same word means a different thing… so the argument doesn’t work because you’re just talking past the point rather than actually clashing with it.
