This is a philosophical question, right? Then the answer is definitely "yes."
Here I am, out on the street, with nothing. I have no home, no friends, no car, no money, no food, and no clothes. I'm cowering naked under a bush, starving, shivering with cold. I truly have nothing.
Then along comes a psycho hoodlum with a big knife and cuts off my hand.
Now I have less than I had before - less than nothing.

From my view point NO. Humans in my standpoint might think of themselves as less than their peers. Everyone is worth more than less or nothing. So if they don't have a penny to their name doesn't mean they are less or nothing to contribute to mankind. Less or nothing doesn't mean the end of the world there's always something out there to make nothing into something.\ therefore less should be more in those eyes.

for sure there is. there are 1000's of youngsters in united statesa. who're hungry on a daily basis. a million in 4 little ones in accordance to a pair sources pass to mattress hungry. some everybody is homeless. Do you think of human beings on welfare are fortunate? Welfare isn't precisely some wonderful consumer-friendly factor.

One might argue that having had something and losing it, opposed to not having it at all, is "less than nothing." That is, if you never have it, i.e. have nothing, you don't know what it is your missing. However, if you had something and lost it, like a lover, a child, etc., if you lost said thing, you could not go back to that state of ignorant bliss you had prior to having it.

Bankruptcy is less than nothing since it encompasses the entirety of your net worth then some.

No. Does that not present the necessity for math.

No. Look up the definition of nothing. I hope you weren't expecting some lame philosophical answer.
