I would certainly wake up to listen to how you answer my inquiry of how many flying pink unicorns you have.
:yes:

It would take my free will to believe what you say exists. But if i believe you...i have -1, which is not actually -. Its a +1 for you, because you possess it. The negative to me, is my lack of the 1 unicorn.

Let's use the number line:

You start at 0. She gives you one unicorn. You end up at one. She takes away this one unicorn. You end up back at 0. It's not that hard.

Is this an extreme (and I do mean extreme) form of Advaita Vedanta, perhaps?

Doubtful. Even Advaita makes room for zero, as per Vedanga Jyotisha (the Vedic school of mathematics and astrology).

"At the head of all knowledge is mathematics." - Vedanga Jyotisha (I kid you not)

You are the one running away from 0. Why don't you like 0? 0 never did anything to you. It's such a harmless creature. Meow.

Im not running away. And EXACTLY....ZERO NEVER DID ANYTHING!! Its USELESS!!
(Except a place holder, or at the end of a number to hold its value.)

ITS AN EXPRESSION. not a number. How would we write 'numbers' without it?
Its a shortcut. No one wants to draw one hundred ones to represent 100 ones. Its too long, and time consuming...so we shortened it! Its a form of writing an amount. But ZERO CANNOT COME BEFORE ANY NUMBER. only a place holder!!

So not creating or not using the zero is a kind of revenge for not receiving any Unicorns?* :p

No because revenge is foolish. All is fair in love and war.

What does 0.045 or 0.420 mean to you?

Actually, earlier today a pencil was created out of zero, simply by my planting the idea of you having a pencil in your mind, and then I successfully took that pencil away from you. :)

I might even be able to pull a flying pink unicorn out of zero by merely suggesting that I might give you one. :)

Zero is quite useful in your system, I would say! :yes:

It isn't useless. You didn't receive any unicorns. So, you have 0 unicorns.

You are using a symbol to tell me i have 1 less than you.

I HAVE ONE....LESS....than you.
I HAVE -1.

Are we really this far gone??? I pray for you.

0 is -1.
