Why is there something rather than nothing

It’s funny how if being could ever be something other than it is, it would be nonbeing.

It’s also funny how being never gets to choose being or nonbeing.

What would stop nothing from becoming something 😂 ? If the primordial state is literally lawless nothing then anything can happen including this universe .

Where would you put it? 😄

To ask "why is there something rather than nothing?" already presupposes a questioner, a question, a structure of inquiry, all of which are something.

The question smuggles existence in through the back door while pretending to ask about its absence.

The deeper answer is that Nothing is the ground, not the alternative.
