I guess all of you guys are aware about the teleportation paradox:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletransportation_paradox

some says that in such a case "you", subjectively speaking, would cease to exist, otherwise the second example would imply two identical "yous" on the same time

Now, I thought about another case inspired by the Theseus Ship paradox, i guess somebody else thought about it already but here we go:

what if such machine only destroys a part of your brain and replaces it with an identical copy, perfectly joined with the rest of your brain and entirely made of new matter?

Then, what happens when this process gets repeated until the whole brain gets replaces while keeping the identical atomic structure of the original?

If you would be subjected to such an experiment, what would happen to your own "self" or, in other words, to your subjective experience?

Who was the LEAST consequential American president?

Who left office having left the smallest mark on the country and the weakest legacy?

I'd say Carter. He's not really remembered for anything except failing to rescue the Americans being held hostage by the Ayatollah of Iran

Carter had a profound effect on Liberal International Relations around the world and the US.

Despite not particularly agreeing with Liberal IR theory myself, you can't discount the impact he had at the time. He's still regularly cited in political units at universities across the world.

Yes. What people usually mean by race is ethnicity, and it mostly comes up when one ethnicity is intentionally racialized in order to distinguish it from the default, usually White WASP in America.

The Pope had the idea to sent peasants fighting for religion instead of mercenaries fighting for money. In the end their whole army was destroyed by the Turks in the first battle, they lost 30.000 men where the Turks lost less than a hundred.

After Battlefield 1 was announced, I've become very interested in WWI and I want to learn more.

Specifically, I want to learn more about the Italian Alps and and Arabic theater and Lawrence of Arabia. I didn't even know this stuff was fought over before now.

Anyone got resources on this stuff? Books/videos/other things?

Not in this passage, no, not a chance.

ctrl+f: ''0p0k'' or ''Keepa''
http://www.peshitta.org/pdf/Mattich16.pdf

We have to look at the context to whom Jesus is speaking. Jesus gave Peter the authority to bind and loose in Matthew 16:

>And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 16:18-19

"Binding and loosing" is a phrase which comes from the rabbis. It refers to the authority to make decisions binding on the people of God.

This authority includes interpreting and applying the Word of God and admitting people to and excommunicating them from the community of faith. For the Jews this meant the community of Israel. For Christians this means the Church.

Saint Basil explains this very well:

>Though Peter be a rock, yet he is not a rock as Christ is. For Christ is the true unmoveable rock of himself, Peter is unmoveable by Christ the rock. For Jesus doth communicate and impart his dignities, not voiding himself of them, but holding them to himself, bestoweth them also upon others. He is the light, and yet 2. You are the light: he is the Priest, and yet he 3. maketh Priests: he is the rock, and he made a rock.
—Basil li. De poenit. cƒ. Matt. v. 14 ; Luke 22:19

Matthew 16:18-19

>The one who hears you (Peter) hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects Him who sent me.
Luke 10:16

>I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
John 10:14-16

>When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.”

Yes it was in principle, witches are real and need to be killed. See Leviticus 20:27 and Exodus 22:18 for reference. The problem of things like the Salem witch trials though was that they didn't get a fair trial - which per the Mosaic covenant requires two or three separate witnesses - see Deuteronomy 19:15.

Now I'm not arguing whether the Salem witches were actual witches or not (although some of them probably were), but they weren't really proven guilty the way the Mosaic law commands.
