What about 'Existence Identifies Existence'? It's all hogwash, all that exists
in space is particles, and we are just talking about them (apparently (self
sarcasm joke)). There's no essence other than particles, which exist. There is
no identity, you can create clones and similar machines, all that exists is
particles and bonds/magnetism between them. Humans only say feelings exist, in
English, I personally wouldn't understand you if you spoke Chinese.
