Some more ponderings from the weird and wacky world of PHIL1000

Just to set the scene for everyone, we are meant to be talking about dualism (i.e. a seperation of the body from the mind). And these nuggets of quotes came up.. (any "..." means there was a long pause. No doubt for us to consider the profoundness of what was just said.)
"they're not really spirits right. No more than vodka is a spirit... In the supernatural sense..."
"The world could be destroyed leaving this one whiteboard eraser.. But it would probably explode beacause of quantum theory.. so maybe thats not such a good example... but back to the mind and body"
"and you stop just jiggling nerves... and you start to see red. *uncomfortable silence* ok, so you're jiggling away at nerves.."
"the person beside you. how do you know they're conscious? You ask them. But what if they just think they're conscious?"
"bring him (your cat) in and see if he can pass a PHIL1000 test. If he can, high destinctions all 'round."
"Athiests go around saying no god exists. They're idiots! They don't realise saying that is a contradiction"
"googleplex"
"everyone listening is a thinking thing... well the chairs aren't.. but they're not listening."
"you know 1+1=2 if you're paying attention. unless youre on drugs. excpet then of course you're not paying attention"

Pasting some of these quotes into chat windows got the following results..
Surely these alone are worth the $471 (Go arts!), I've paid for this course?

Rhett: oh dear god
Rhett: when will academics be killed
Maz: not soon enough...

Lol, I know what he means. But it's all a matter of wording. So if I said, "I do not believe your theory of God", does that make it a contradiction? I don't think so.

Eric could so pass a PHIL1000 test. He knows he exists by the thud on the floor when he miscalculates a dive for the wool. He knows why he exists when he downs a tin of fancy feast in one go.
High distinctions all round!
