I don't think you have the cognitive requirements to understand why your dictionary definitions are completely irrelevant here
I'm always astonished when there's a discussion about a topic so deep that it's been hotly debated by philosophers for centuries and someone drops in the dictionary definition thinking they solved the whole discourse with a one-liner from the dictionary.
