Why nothing exists

(This is all taken straight from the Greek philosopher Zeno)

Point 1: Everything (at least in the mortal universe) is finite: nothing mortal can be infinite, for two infinite things cannot exist in relation to one another.

Point 2: Start by considering distance. Before any given distance can be traversed, half that must be traversed, and before that, half of that, ad infinitum. Thus, in any distance, there are infinite halves, and thus there are infinite points to cross. Thus, every distance is infinite.

Point 3: Apply this example to numbers and physical objects: they are all infinite. Thus, everything in the mortal universe is infinite.

Point 4: We have, however, already judged that nothing infinite can exist.

Point 5: Thus, nothing exists.

This all proves that we are in a nonsensical computerized simulation, the programmers of which didn’t bother to make anything logically exist.

The end.
