Everything that we do collapses.

just is destroyed.

And so the idea is that the security on mathematics and physics and physical sciences is extraordinary for outside ideas because the first contradiction in the unity of knowledge destroys all of it.

If you've ever seen one of these warehouse racking collapses where some forklift guy hits some strut and the entire warehouse goes, that's what you're dealing with with the principle of explosion.

If I change the word itself to the word zero, which you're going to say there is no zero.

Why do I say there's no zero?

Because you have... This is why I keep trying to get back to what I understand of Terrence's underlying metaphysics.

There's a difference between the empty set and zero.

That's the difference.

So if I say to you, Terrence,

What is the collection of kittens that you have sold to North Korea to be used for spare parts?

You would say, it's the empty set.

I've never sold a kitten.

I say, hey, Terrence, what is the number of kittens that you've sold for the internal organs to North Korea?

You would say zero.

That's right.

So there is a zero.

Zero.

Well, if there was a thing called a human ant...

Dollar times a dollar.
