Round 1
JA

Sunyata as a concept perfectly explains how things in the universe reacts and changes by removing an intrinsic essence, but we didn't deny the conventional existence of things, simply that there is nothing inherent to be found

A lot of people call emptiness logical, but imagine someone trying to explain it to a commuter who just wants a straight answer. It sounds more like a mystical claim than a step-by-step argument. I just can’t see how something so slippery counts as logical.
Round 2
JA

Slippery why? You have presented your opinion yet you haven't presented a logical argument against it

Isn't calling it logical just a fancy way of restating the idea? The other side makes a fair point about change without essence, and I honestly don't know how to argue back. But my gut still says emptiness is more a label than a logical argument.
Round 3
JA
jamesjFOR
What is gut? Does it come from the mind or the heart? Or was it caused by the situation? Where is gut to be found intrinsically? One day I feel my gut say so and other time it is different

Imagine a road sign reading "this road has no fixed nature" at a fork; it still doesn't tell a driver which way to turn. My opponent is right that I haven't built a formal counterargument, and I admit I can't. It still feels like emptiness describes a perspective, not a logical proof.
