: In fact, I would say it is common parlance to call someone like you just "zero" for short, eliminating that pesky, worthless "type" concept altogether.
: Of course, given your complexity the reference is more to the mystical nature of the number zero from a sort of Kabbalah/numerology sense, and the abstruse nature of mathematics, division by zero, etc. Definitely not the more common appellation used to describe someone who mindlessly criticizes both sides of a discussion without attempting to contribute anything meaningful.
Perhaps even the moniker of "zero" is too close to status quo. Everyone is addressed by a name or title, perhaps it would be more appropriate to not address "zero" at all? Or at least to address "zero" in a way that does not involve the archaic and restrictive "name or title" motif?
