Some mystical traditions liked to enumerate all the possible names of
God. I remember reading "Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco, and at
some point in the text he even offers a program in BASIC to enumerate
the names. Speaking of programming computers, I remember learning to
program in C a long time ago, and being confronted with the idea of
"pointer". A pointer is a variable name that refers to a location in
memory. Many different names can point to the same thing.
Nothing profound about any of this. To cite another mystical
tradition: "the dao seeks the lowest level".
People who insist on one name being more important than all others are
being silly, and they can do extremely evil things in name of this
silliness. People who insist on zero names are also silly, and can
also do evil things in the name of this idea.
Bruno is the one who insists on no name, and mocks atheist because they
name what they don't believe exists.
