revision for the general philosophy module will now take place entirely with examples that celebrate the beautiful love between the two lecturers:

premise: I admire Dr M

premise: I do not admire Dr M's body

conclusion: Therefore, Dr M is not his body

the above example actually featured in today's lecture.

they're not fooling anyone. foulds, who has these lectures with me, will verify, i'm sure, how their loff shines through in every lecture they give.

"And if Dr M is not his body, then we must logically ask, where is his body? Has some bad man tied it up in his cupboard [staring out the window]... or maybe it's having a bath, or covered in maple syrup, or... Ahem, getting back to secondary qualities..."

philosophers can use the idea of primary & secondary qualities to describe the top/bottom relationship in lofty, intellectual terms, and use their lover to disprove solipsism: "Even if I am imagining every other person I have ever met, I can't be imagining Dr P... for something that perfect could never come from inside of me."

however, philosophers tend to be more insecure in relationships than most of us: "Esse est percipi, Dr M, darling: if I am not directly perceiving you at all times, you will cease to exist!"

ETA: here's a graphic, detailing the philosophical joy that is their loff! ta fouldsie!

"I know I exist. I do not know my body exists. I have good reason to believe Dr Morison's body exists [winks]"

name doesn't ring any bells, but that doesn't mean i haven't spoken to her / seen her around: am a)terrible with names and b)quite anti-social in real life.

thanks, you can gauge how well i'm likely to do in them by the fact that i'm sitting here online when i could be revising...
