Section 3: Lab Practical
When you have completed each problem, wait for an instructor to come and inspect your work.

1. On the bench you will find a slave boy. Prompt him to remember the Pythagorean theorem.
Next to the slave boy you will find a cave. Break free of your shackles, climb into the light, and behold the form of the Good. When you're done, return to the cave and wisely rule your fellows.
2. On the bench you will find the thing-in-itself. Treat it as a limiting conception and say nothing further about it.

3. Next to the cave, you will find a brain in a vat. Determine its principles of operation. Determine what philosophical problems remain after you have done so. Write down several dozen of them.

4. By staring at the brain, you will be provided with sense data. Arrange and combine them so that everything you know can be expressed in terms of them.

5. Amidst the sense data you will find the Given. Debunk myths about it. Show its equivalence to the Taken-away.

6. In addition to the beings on the bench, you will find Being as such. Use it to explain the difference between temporality and Temporality. Then use it to boil an egg.

7. After having found Being you will find Nothing. Determine who this is presenting himself as Nothingness on the grounds of the nihilation of the bench.
