The Ship of Theseus

Funny. The poor guy, lacking any criteria for distinguishing the essential from the non-essential, still wants to argue? Maybe someone else will find it amusing too — since they’re reading this and, apparently, just like me, don’t understand a thing.

“Words are signs. Signs do not signify objects but mental concepts. By thinking of Theseus’ ship as a mental concept the paradox disappears.” — littlemo

“lacking any criteria for distinguishing the essential from the non-essential” — demon

If a ship requires physicality/action to be itself, then staying a thought isn’t what it essentially is… is it now?

Love is that kind of thing.

So… “Ship of Theseus” follow-up question

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: [IMG_2092] [IMG_2102]

@Ichthus77

Even if all the boards of the ship of Theseus passed away, the ship of Theseus will never pass away, doofus face. Which is exactly why it must be built again. So it can be/do its essence. Wake up & smell the salt water in the breeze!
