Ship of Theseus follow-up question: When did the ship of Theseus begin to exist or be true or have an essence? Simultaneous concurrence is triune — but think about this in light of the fact that God cannot create himself.
Background:
Well, if you’re going to speak of Greek (Athenian) mythology, then according to one of the most famous Athenians of them all (you know who, starts with a “P”), the true form of the Ship of Theseus resides in the “World of Forms,” and that the rotting boards (and whatever else) that have been completely replaced here on Earth are but mere “shadows” of the real ship.
Now, how about we all chip in and take ol’ Theseus down to the Goodwill store to buy him some pants…
I’m mentally dressing him without even looking at him.
Shadow. As in an ever increasing revelation of eternal being?
Are we living in the foreshadowing or … aftershock… or is there a bigger one coming… and then another? Is there gonna be a final one … or is that one ontologically/thetically/deontically prior?
This & stuff, etc.
Question. If the Ship of Theseus was generally intelligent (the g factor)… would it identify with its clones? If not… it can’t be reduced to its physical pattern. “See” identical human twins.
