Sarah: i'm writing about the devil yea man!
Connie: well, you know, the devil is empty of inherent existence. so says the buddha
Sarah: sweet! my paper is done! Buddha says this class is meaningless. the end.
Connie: not meaningless. it has meaning, just no inherent existence
Connie: THERE IS A FINE LINE BETWEEN EMPTINESS AND NIHILISM!

What good is philosophy if it doesn't get me out of my paper?
