used to be a boat

So it’s not Theseus’s ship anymore, which is my point.

If you change a boat into a wagon, is the boat a wagon or is the wagon a boat?

eventually your body was replaced by a new artificial one

But that’s not what the comic is about. If we followed the comic, your body would eventually be turned into an airplane.

I was small, now I’m big and hairy, I’m still a human. I didn’t grow up and turn into a cat.

The point of the thought experiment is, if you take a thing apart and remake it with entirely new parts, is it the same thing? It is not about taking something apart and turning those parts into something else.

The Wagon of Theseus thought experiment is “if you take apart a boat and turn it into a wagon, is it still a boat?”

I point you to the definition of “replace”

Replace : to restore to a former place or position

2: to take the place of especially as a substitute or successor

3: to put something new in the place of

If you take something apart and build something new from it, you aren’t replacing anything, you’re building something. You’ve replaced Theseus’s boat with a wagon.

If you take my grandfather’s axe (I replaced the handle twice and the head once) and whittle it down into a cane, you haven’t replaced the handle you’ve made a cane.

Please explain your reasoning.

It’s absolutely a pyramid scheme. And now we’re at the stage where we hollow out the inside of the pyramid to keep making it taller.

That’s a good idea. I’ve blocked so much almost all I get is depressing news. They need to let you export blocked lists. Mines so long it’s probably worth something.

Reminds me of when they were going to name an airport after a Canadian Prime Minister. The Steven Harper International Terminal.

I’m Canadian and had a BYID card issued by the LCBO. But the police can’t threaten to take it away from you as a means of control.

I’m in my 40’s and only got my license 5 years ago. As well as environmental and economic reasons a big part of my refusal was power. A drivers license is the main way the state exerts power over the people. You should see a cops face when you tell them you don’t have a drivers license, they lose their biggest threat against you. In the end I had to drive for work and I try to avoid doing so at all costs.

Put the lid down. Everyone. Everytime.

Statistics can prove anything. 99% percent of everyone knows that. Be that as it may, I will walk before traveling on Starliner.

what the fuck else have they missed?

If it’s Boeing, I’m not going.
