It seems obvious that the whole thought experiment is just semantics. One of those things that interesting to think about the first time, but after awhile it’s just illustrative to point out how we just define things imprecisely and that I’m almost all cases it is far more convenient and practical, but if you look at anything from the right perspective, the lack of precision stands out. Even ‘walking out of a room’ doesn’t have a perfect description if you slow things down far enough, but practically it’s pretty useful to describe it as a distinct event.
IMO, it’s not the same ship; end of story
Sure, but when did that happen? After the first board was replaced? As soon as the first board was damaged?
I don’t get this one
It’s a reference to the Ship of Theseus thought experiment
I don’t know, the second ship looks like it’s had some bits replaced with after-market parts…
And… Why is every single part of the first ship broken? Is it even seaworthy ?
I mean, it is now
