When you switch on a lightbulb, your eyes perceive photons, and some neurons in your brain activate. If you switch off the light, then so-called ‘off’ neurons activate. You don’t actually “stop seeing” when you’re in the dark. No; the mind physically represents nothingness in a pattern of neurons.
The phrase “nothing exists” is not a self-contradicting statement but a statement of fact. Nothing exists.
