i think emptiness means: things exist but Things don’t exist. like: good and evil exist but Good and Evil don’t. god exists but God doesn’t. problems exist but Problems don’t. selves exist but Selves don’t. meditation is about seeing through Things to investigate things

Hmm I feel like the emphasis is more the other way
Before: good and evil exist
After: good and evil don't exist, but Good and Evil exist (yin/yang)
And glimpse further, but can't quite articulate it- it's all just *G*ood
(idk how to make the G even more capital lol)

well it depends on what you interpret the capitalization to mean i guess 😅 there's like at least a 2x2 here, maybe "how real something is" vs. "how big a deal it seems"
Basically whatever is post- implies seeing its empty, illusory nature. Specifically that it's not independent on its own separate from our (collective) perception of it and that its not permanent (is actually ever changing, at least subtly)
And other axis... Hmmm
