What lies beyond nothingness?
Being, uninterrupted by meaning.
A world in complete stillness, beyond interpretation.
Space and time without reference point, orientation, or concern.
One of the most controversial yet still deeply influential philosophers of the twentieth century, Martin Heidegger was the last to treat nothingness as an ontological problem rather than a merely logical one. He attempted to gesture toward this limit when he wrote that “the nothing nothings.” Yet, even he could not escape Angst—the anxiety bound to the experience of absence.
If we want to step even further, we must imagine being without Angst, without disclosure, without even indifference: a state of complete emotional flatness and detachment from existence. What remains is not peace, not catastrophe, not emptiness, nor nothingness but true ontological neutrality—existence that neither affirms nor negates, neither appears nor conceals itself for anyone. It is not an Edenic void before humanity, nor a post-human gaze upon what remains. It is orthogonal to any perspective, any observer, any subjectivity.
It is a world that simply is.
