       honestly i don’t really get the ship of theseus. i feel like it’s more about being able to trace a lineage back to the original than about the specific parts

       like your cells slowly replace themselves over time. that doesn’t mean you fucking stop existing after a while

       honestly i would even extend this to things that never shared parts with the originyal but serve the same function and are clearly meant to be the same thinglike if a building burns down and is rebuilt in the exact same way i’d say it’s the same building even if it physically isn’tand in a more nerdy sense, if a program is completely rebuilt from the ground up but looks very similar and has the same functions, it’s the same thing as the originyal

       @starshine i’m somewhere half-way there; lineage is folklore; with bad actors around, it can get replaced as easily as not telling the full story to the new generations.if something has been rebuilt, but the observer doesn’t know it was rebuilt, is it more the real thing, or less the real thing?
