The Philosophy of Nothing

Philosophy is
the art of stating nothing
in the most longwinded
confounding fashion
while not actually getting to the specific idea,
because there isn’t one.
It’s citing someone
who said something plainly
and then elaborating on it
in a way that obscures it
to a point
where it doesn’t mean
anything.
It could be then assumed,
that while philosophy
being the art of deception,
deceptively tells us of our needs
to see things that we don’t want to see,
despite the fact that we are seeing
nothing at all.
Nothing
manifests itself as the most
peculiar bunch of
everything.
Kant believed that Being
was the subject of all predicates;
the sum of all reality.
Which is to say
that being is being beyond
the simplest of ideas.
Being is an act of reality
seeking the sum of reason,
which can then be viewed
as the equation of existence.
Being that acts of reason
have a basis in reality more noble
than the condition of all objects
in the purest of forms,
it can be antiquated that reason
is lost.

Philosophically speaking,
nothing has been said
in an overly elaborative fashion.
So are philosophers fashionable,
or nothing to be concerned with?
