If we agree that nothing is greater than everything then we must also conversely agree that everything is less than nothing.
Please forgive me if this has already been debated or commented on. Feel free to direct me to those previous conversations as I would appreciate a further discussion on the subject.

Dear KJ,
Welcome. I have thought of your exact same quandary and have come to the same conclusion, essentially.
If you think about it purely enough you may make the realization that there should be a number that means the exact opposite of nothing. You may come to the odd but rather uplifting conclusion that if nothing is 0, then everything is 1/0. Also you may conclude that if nothing is represented by a circle, 0, then everything should be represented by
two circles interlocking. Like in these ads

Now as you were saying, the definition of everything is that nothing is greater than everything. But also the definition of everything is that everything
is everything, and nothing more or less. What this means is that nothing is greater than
or less than everything, and everything is equal and paramount - the absolute greatest value
this is how I would write it
0<1/0<0
1/0=1/0
0 does not equal
this means that nothing is greater than or less than everything. Everything is everything, and nothing more or less. Zero does not equal anything. What do you think?
