Chapter 1: The Agony of the Insignificant

The paradox of the meaning of nothing is a complex and multifaceted issue. As the great philosopher, Ziggy Stardust, once said, "Nothing is everything, and everything is nothing."

Or, as the more practical philosopher, Bob the Builder, put it, "You can't build a house on nothing, but you can build a house on the meaning of nothing."

So, what do you do when faced with the daunting task of the meaning of nothing? The answer, my friend, is to do nothing.

Or, if you prefer the more modern approach, just procrastinate and worry about it later.

But wait, there's more! The paradox of the meaning of nothing is not just a philosophical concept, it's also a popular theme in contemporary art.
