The king told the prince, "There is no you."
And the prince replied, "But I feel that there is."
And the king said, "But only when you say that there is."

And the king said, "Ah, but even then you are thinking that there is a you,
and then that is what makes you feel that there is, even when there is not."
And then the prince didn't know what to say in response.
"Long live the blank -- the blank is dead."
