Alright you chucklefucks, let's settle this once and for

Are you the same person after ten or whatever years when all your cells have been replaced?

It's the same damn ship.

It's unresolvable, that's the point.

>>2274701

This is only a "problem" for platofags. There is no right answer to be "settled," it's just a matter of how you choose to define it.

Not a single worthwhile arguement, and I'm not even memeing. Either explain yourselves or shut up.

I would say it depends on what the men manning the ship call it.

You can extrapolate that conclusion to issues such as geopolitics and so on.

You're confusing the idea of a ship with the physical thing. There is a bunch of wood and rope and shit arranged just so. Later there is different stuff arranged the same way. There is no confusion about what is actually occurring. Whether you choose to call that the "same ship" is not a comment about reality, but merely how we choose to think about it. The idea of the ship, not the thing itself. And you can define it as the same or not; it doesn't matter.

That enough of an explanation?

This.

>>2274701
In spirit and ownership it is the same
Physically it is not

>>2274701
Ships get registered by the government, if allowed to sail. So is it the same boat on the registrar, then yes, otherwise no.

>>2274771
Yes. It's good.

>>2274736
Probably because this isn't worth discussing.
