That is the raging argument among my teenagers right now. Ha ha ha. I guess this is why I have been obsessed with providing my children with the best possible education: So they have passionate arguments about consciousness, existentialism, and reality rather than material crap. Suddenly, they have shifted to talking about rhetoric, atoms, and Truth. SHOUTING about the meaning of love —roses and thorns. Ahhhh…..
Finally, they agreed that some people believe everything is nothing, and some believe nothing is everything; and those people have to tacitly agree to get along.
