Ok. That makes sense. I do still wonder, though: is it possible to offset the cost of an action by enough that there is no net gain or loss? At least in theory, I know that it won’t work in real life.
What did you talk about then? If you don’t mind saying of coarse.
What I presented was kind of cheap. I did darkness, which in reality doesn’t exist, but people treat it like it’s an actual thing

Sometimes I’m very surprised to see conversations I’ve previously been a part of when they get revived.
Depends how easily you can create and smuggle dangerous materials from chemistry.
Expenses are free. You pay expenses, you don’t pay to have expenses.
Existence is free. No one pays for it, except maybe the universe itself.
It costs time
But time is a constant. It spends itself no matter what happens. Even in a black hole, time continues.
It has numerous costs. One of them is space. When something exists, it takes up space, therefor costing space

But does space exist, or is it a property of matter, therefore requiring an object to exist so that the space it takes up is capable of being defined?
Space exists as a law of physics, so it is real, and qualifies as a cost
You could also say that matter in general is a cost, as it’s a finite resource, and to exist, you must have matter
