Thought experiment «THESEUS» (English)

[@CeoOfalluarjun]

One of the best paradox stories. Wandavision really did a nice job showing this concept and discovery to us

[@DailyManoranjan]

Vision brought me here

[@LC__15]

_"I request elaboration"_ :)

[@SanjaiX]

I got this recommended after watching WandaVision Ep. 9...

[@DeepakSharma-vo3fu]

Same here bro

[@CyberRacer]

No you searched for it

[@laradhoore8268]

Same

[@stantwitter1016]

Vision from Wandavision just offered an interesting and probably the most simple answer that is memory. If we take it to personification aspects, then the point that determines we are still who we are and never change it’s because of our memory. Or to be scientifically specific, our brain, neurons, etc never changed.

[@dongwangguan8354]

Visions' fight is the perfect portrayal of the "fight" between two highly intelligent, thoughtful and conscious minds. The next level of fighting, discussion! 😹

[@ahmadhafiz2245]

Wandavision brought me here. And i'm glad it did

[@simobeats]

When you uploaded a video and suddenly, it gains a lot of activity after 4 years. WE ALL KNOW WHY WE ARE HERE LOL

[@sisihu2657]

This is what our teacher recommended us to watch. Nice animation!! Interesting and cute!

[@KE-ty4bk]

Thank you WandaVision!

[@stella_moon1013]

The only thing I can see now, is Vision and White Vision having a debate about this lol😂

[@JasonExclusive]

Vision really made me question my identity

[@strangelee4400]

The ship of Theseus is the one he sails around in. The other ship made from the spare parts is the ship of the Shipmaster (he has the receipts to prove it).

[@eclarat-luminotherapie]

Well, I think I get my answer of this bateau de Thesée from Lao Zi: "We turn clay to make a vessel; But it is on the space where there is nothing that the usefulness of the vessel depends. We pierce doors and windows to make a house; And it is on these spaces where there is nothing that the usefulness of the house depends. Therefore just as we take advantage of what is, we should recognise the usefulness of what is not." (translate by Arthur Waley.) The empty , intouchable part of this thing is the most real, all the rest is just the replaceable material. Which make me think about : Bitcoin from Satoshi vs Bitcoin today, is it still the real "ship"? and.. Ethereum , is it??

[@deniboy03]

Simple. Both are real as they both exist but the old one, the one that was reconstructed is the original. The second one is made by new parts, therefore it's new. As for humans we remain the same because even tho our body, opinions and thoughts change, we still carry all of our individual experiences in our memory. And the changes in our personalites are direct result of those experiences. Also let's not forget that the case here is impossible. Noone can build a second ship out of scrap and noone can restore our dead cells in to existence. So in reality this paradox is only a hypothetical scenario - it doesn't really exist. Every problem in reality has a solution.

[@cloudydaze2542]

My interest definitely changed i was not watchin vids lik this 7 years ago

[@maximkunz4421]

Who are you when you are not thinking yourself into existence? Who are you without your story, without your script, without ur concepts and ideas. You are not even an human being but appearing as one. If all thought, identity and concept CAN be dropped and you still remain. Who are you ? Om Amen

[@TheRocketJumperOfficial]

I just had the biggest mindfuck and on the verge of tears. What the hell.

[@pmz558]

we are the construct of our habits, our approach to things, the way we do things, hardly changes over time after a certain age, I think limiting the metaphor to an object is an inadequate representation of a person, I think in a way the boat is the sailor, a person is an organism that's always changing in it's capacity to absorb the world around it, the pattern at which one extracts the information, comprehends it and applies it, is what makes a person. I am open to correction as I myself am not perfect neither is my understanding of the world.

[@goutham6248]

Perhaps, Our Memories are our true identity

[@dungusglumbus9946]

Are you familiar with the thought experiment The Ship of Theseus? Naturally

[@jojoelledeer]

is EVERYONE here because of wandavision? I was thinking about this theory ever since I found out cells die and get replaced, I had this exact thought experiment at the age of 9! I didn't even know what the thought experiment was called. Shower thoughts man.

[@stupidtrinity]

I'm here because I was curious of what would happen if a human slowly replaced his brain with bits and pieces of machine that acts exactly like the parts of the brain being replaced, once the transformation is complete, would he still be that same human being?

[@KhaniRawlingsK]

Vision brought me here.

[@cntryboy_corb]

Comic book knowledge 🔥💯 (Vision vs Vision)

[@arcadekhiladi]

We are not body or mind we are consciousness which is eternal and never changing

[@sownheard]

Memory's and Continuity.

[@abirdey8924]

Thanks to vision.

[@giannilibia]

This video is gonna blow up #wandavision

[@rurounikenshin9948]

ive got the same dilemma for people "restoring" old Jordans. its not the same shoes!

[@friendofvrgl]

I bet lots of people be visiting this video after watching WandaVision! Why I’m here

[@senioredward3456]

Am here cause of WV😩😭

[@fredericwu6427]

C'est les concepts tels que réel et identité qui devraient être remis en question.

[@anthoneenunez5153]

You are familiar with the thought experiment the Ship of Theseus in the field of identity metaphysics?

[@sidharthkapurkar983]

"Naturally,” “The Ship of Theseus is an artifact in a museum. Over time, its planks of wood rot and are replaced with new planks. When no original plank remains is it still the Ship of Theseus?”

[@anthoneenunez5153]

@@sidharthkapurkar983 Secondly, if those removed planks are restored and reassembled, free of the rot, is that the Ship of Theseus?

[@riquelmer2011]

I request elaboration

[@Tottleminerftw]

Both are the true ship, neither are the true ship.

[@mudassirkhan8484]

Nino Great Animation

[@mojtabahakimi8082]

Because neurones in the brain don't change. They are there when we are born and are not replaced until we die ...

[@Skinny.Steve1991]

I require elaboration

[@mtsammyyt]

I was sooo recommend this video 😉

[@karmanshah11]

Anyone else here after watching WandaVision ep9? 👀

[@DrGhost2010]

Wandavision Episode 9 brought me here after 4 years 😂

[@arnaudhh]

This explain why there are two Visions #wandavisionfinalepisode

[@masonthewalker]

The identity of something. Could you not say that the identity of something is based on the intentions of it? So if the Ship of Theseus is replaced by completely new materials, if it is still intended to be Theseus's ship, then it would still be the Ship of Theseus. Just how your cells renew themselves, the intention of them renewing themselves is to look like and be you, so the intention derived the identity.

[@DeepakSharma-vo3fu]

I request elaboration!

[@sreerajr6470]

Anybody after wandavison Last episode?

[@Munisk52]

Ok this one is kind of bad. If you use vague words like "the same", sure- there is a philosofical problem of "is the boat the same boat as before?". But if you approach it from more reasonable standpoint it becomes clear that you own a new boat if you swap all the parts for new ones. Person stays the same, because whille our cells may chanege, our tastes develop etc- we are evolving, rather than changing drastically. While writing this post some of my organism cells died and new were "born". That doesn't make me a new person. I used to dislike spinach as a child and now I like it. That doesn't make me a new person. That just means that we are constantly developing, and humans should be observed as 4-dimentional beings - as beings moving in time, not only in space.

[@pmz558]

TheReal Minus25 I really like what you wrote at the end. somewhat resonated in my mind.

[@mingshue3677]

Fair comment, however, it was a little unfair to say the video was 'kind of bad'. I believe in a way he has made the video universal to people of all ages and competency in English. Although no deeper distinction between the words or deeper ideas explored, the contention of the thought experiment remains. Thus, a child or someone who isn't a native speaker of English could still partake in this.

[@kenthslee]

Minus25 it rlly depends on what we define as a “new”person. Some people may think that a new person is just a better version of what they were before, whether its mentally, spiritually, or physically. But at the same time, “new” could mean a fresh start, which in reality we do/ do not have. For instance, every day is a new day. But at the same time we cannot start over or relive our lives from the beginning.

[@masonthewalker]

Is it not also reasonable to say that the identity of something is the intentions behind its construction and its purpose rather than its materials? For, if the ship is still meant to be Theseus's ship, then it would be the Ship of Theseus. But if the old materials are used to remake it, then it would be a restored ship of the Ship of Theseus.

[@AllanKapten]

I request elaboration

[@angshul]

Whos After wanda vision?

[@CSLucasEpic]

The answer about the ship. The real ship of Theseus is the one being used by Theseus. Theseus is who makes the ship of Theseus special and unique. Remove Theseus and put him on another ship and then that ship is now the ship of Theseus. Theseus is who makes the ship of Theseus the ship of Theseus.
