"there is no spoon" is only true iff there is no spoon.
Reality is just quarks, the "spoon" is only a useful heuristic I have in my head to model a particular configuration of quarks... ie, the "spoon" is only in the model in my head... therefore there is a "spoon", but no spoon.
...and yet, the quarks that I point at,when I say "spoon" definitely exist.
so - is there a spoon?
