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.
Pretty sure this ship floats, man.
Still with this:
I think the great programmer in the sky might enjoy all the stuff that does stuffy stuff.
The Ship of Sisyphus would have no tiller or rudder to direct it anywhere, and have zero way to slow in order to arrive at zero destination. It would run on nothing and have zero structure. “No One” would get into it intentionally; They would just wander into it on a random whim.
the body has a plan in the DNA (which came first, the body or the plan?). It starts small and it grows into an adult via a process of aging/maturing (which came first, the process or the plan for it?) (the process or the body?). The information formed in the genetic code communicates the plan — the material behaves the communication — your body changes according to the plan and interactions with the environment and the input from your own mind. Otherwise, people wouldn’t be able to prevent sexual maturity or chop off their sex organs. …because physical maturity and spiritual maturity are two very different things, but they need each other in order to express each other — in alignment with each other or out of alignment with each other. The situation gets more complicated the more individuals you add to the scenario. Which came first, all the messed up individuals, or the perfect alignment of individuals?
This is The Flying Sandwich of Edvard Munch, close cousin of The Flying Spaghetti Sandwich:
It appeared ex nihilo without a plan by nobody, and nobody prepared it or ate it, either directly, indirectly, or vicariously. Any appearance of bite marks is merely illusory and does not reflect an inborn hunger in your own psyche for teleology, real or imagined.
