Ah, fair point. I went too far. Still, I’m dubious about conflating the logical and the physical definition of existence. But hey, go wild, it’s of no consequence.
Have you noticed that, although you and Jack have completely opposite (minimal and maxima) ontologies, you both have the same motivation, of avoiding “philosophising”. Well, I suppose “everything exists” and “nothing exists” both impose minimal cognitive burden—if you believe some non -trivial subset exists, you have to put effort into populating it.
I haven’t noticed that Jack has a motivation of “avoiding philosophizing”. And I don’t say that “nothing exists”, I just avoid the term as mostly vacuous, except in specific narrow cases, like math.
