    Well, you can naturally have zero of something. In fact, you have zero of most things right now.

      But there are an infinite number of things that you don’t have any of, so if you count them all together the number is actually not zero (because zero times infinity is undefined).

        There’s a limit to the number of things unless you’re counting spatial positioning as a characteristic of things and there is not a limit to that.

          there’s no limit to the things you don’t have, because that includes all of the things that don’t exist.

            Only if you’re able to define things that don’t exist by infinities.

      How do I have anything if I have nothing of something?

      I have seen arguments for zero being countable because of some transitive property with not counting still being an option in an arbitrary set of numbers you have the ability to count to intuitively.
