This is not a serious discussion, but I thought it was interesting / funny enough for a small topic in chit-chat.

Does dialectics entail the existence of zombies?

Consider this:
Life is the negation of lifeless.
Dead is the negation of life.
So the negation of dead would be... undead?

Don't be ridiculous. That's just a tautology and has nothing to do with "dialectics". It's like saying "that which is not black is non-black". I don't find that statement particularly profound.
