Why isn't the 'Theory of Nothing' more popular?

[Gil Berry]

Over the past few years, I convergently stumbled upon a theory extremely similar to the one presented in Russel Standish's 2006 book 'The Theory of Nothing.' I labeled my 'The Great Contradiction Model,' since it seems like the universe can instead be characterized by a single contradiction (or singularity), containing everything and nothing at the same time. I've been trying to condense my findings into a document, but I seem to lose motivation because there is an inherent lack of interest in previous writings on similar theories.

To me, these theories hold some of the most incredible wisdom I have ever come across, and if not further, they potentially describe reasons for our existence. So why are they ignored but other philosophies with less truth latched onto?

While it could be a matter of advertising, I think it is more fundamental: to live is to be in ignorance of understanding. We've all heard the 'ignorance is bliss' line. I think consciousness is fundamentally defined as being abstracted from the absolute, contradictory, infinite truth of our universe. To live is to believe in a special universe, not one of millions, therefore, this theory dies because it is unimportant, if not harmful, to know about it.

If anyone wants to talk with me about this, I would love to elaborate more.

I do lurk on this list, and happy to discuss related matters. Others
on this list are interested as well. But I am busy with other things,
so may be little delayed from time to time.

As for these theories aren't popular, we are hardwired to believe in
an objective reality external to ourselves, and these theories really
require one to abandon that in favour of intersubjective
consistency. For many, this is too bitter a pill to swallow. Just a thought.
