I have more questions than I do answers, but I do my best to keep the two balanced if I can. I'll try to explain the things I find along the way.
The Ship of Theseus and the Persistence of Identity
What do a Lego man, Captain Kirk, Bender, and Frankenstein's monster have in common? In this video, we explore the ancient thought experiment of the Ship of Theseus, asking whether gradual changes-like swapping out Lego parts, or even replacing your brain-mean you're still "you." With humor, philosophy, and a sprinkle of existential dread, we'll question the persistence of identity and what truly makes us who we are. Hit play for a fun, mind-bending ride into the nature of self!

It’s actually a grandmother paradox, because the grandmother gives birth to the mother
Word! Honestly though!
How can this even be solved?
At this point it still hasn't lol So maybe it can't be???
The book, Truth Without Paradox by David Johnson offers a resolution to The Liar’s paradox that I think is defended well. It is a bit technical, but I recommend it.
Awesome recommendation! I'll see if I can find it and add it to my reading list!
This sentence is fat. This sentence is old. This sentence is skinny. This sentence is bald. This sentence is nasty. This sentence is hairy. Every usage self references an adjective to the subject "This sentence", but devoid of context there is no truth value to evaluate as the sentences themselves are just nonsense. There is no paradox. All we have is seemingly profound nonsense.
I scrolled the comments to see if anyone else came to this seemingly obvious conclusion. The sentence makes no claims - it merely sounds as though it does - and therefore cannot be true or false. It is a meaningless sentence.
Words can be tricky for sure!
the correct answer is the answer attributed to the average joe, it is just a sentence and there is no situation to evalue to see if it is right or wrong. If I say "I am a pickle" does it make me a pickle or is it a sequence of words that I can put together gramatically? words are tricksters and that is why they are the foremost medium used by all evil people, they create false concepts in our mind that exist within the frame of reference of grammar but not in reality yet we coat our perception with them. Word tricks can be full of euphemisms and also very very long and build upon previous lies, the problem is that in reality they always fail to uphold unless you warp people's perception and make them actually believe that the lie isnt a lie. for example, If I preface my posing of the question to you as "this next phrase is a lie" I force you to enter my world frame and you fell face first into my trick didnt you? there was no lie, only word choice to warp your perception to fit my lie, and my prefacing to you was a red carpet for you to lend me your perception. the weak shall perish under the strength and might of truth be they supporters or haters of it. this video holds no weight it's just sentences within a true world and your prefacement islimiting perception. Same as the trolley problem, it completely misunderstands morality and puts humans in the position of arbiters of something which they are not, the correct choice is to do nothing and try and stop the trolley. think more
Thinking more is always a good idea!
Dang those r some old memes
Lol I'll try to bring them up to date next time :D
You should have stated that the video was "clickbait" in the title
Very clever! I love it!
I thought I was watching some multi-million subscribed channel with millions of views, but it's 100 views with 9 likes and 1 of them out of those two is mine
Thanks so much! Much appreciated! Doing my best to make a decent video. Glad you enjoyed it!
Just realized this only has 278 views. Deserves more.
Much appreciated! Hoping they get more soon lol
I like the new style! But I'd be curious to know what other people think about this style of video.
Agreed! Anyone else wants to chime in on style are more than welcome to!
I think the like button is broken. Can we all click it to see if it works?
LOL It's suffering from nonsmashed syndrome so it's having a hard time!
The statement that there was a man that thought is not a lie.
Agreed. Just trying to stick with the theme of the video. Thanks for watching!
You lied the entire video
*Gasp* incredible lol
this was pretty relaxing to watch :D love to see small youtubers making great contet.
You too man! Keep up the good work!
pair-a-docs!
just so long as it's not a pair-a-crocs!
love the cake reference!
I'd work more adventure time in if I could!
That would not be the reason why I never watched this idiots video to the end. Mathematics is always priceless, right, mathematicians like this are always cheap, worthless.
10/10 would reccommend to my alien friend!
Mo sharing mo better!
Genuine science and math is not a bag of cheap tricks. Mathematics is always invaluable, priceless. Alleged mathematicians are always cheap, worthless scum.
Why aren't more people subscribed?!?
I'm not complaining :)
Well. In my opnion Zeno is objectively wrong. Since? he didn’t account for that time is an illusion. There is only ever the now, so thus, there is only a point Achilleus is not by the turtle, is when he chooses to be.
Hmmm....You make a very interesting point!
I ate breakfast while watching this magnificent video, please continue uploading more heat like this
agreed
Thanks for propping up my ego! Definitely have plans for more vids!
bob loves pizza and we love Bob!
But we are not pizza.

And Bob loves goobchill!!!
The alcohol bit is like how people claim that alcohol hits you harder at higher altitudes because your blood is thinner yet when studied it was disproved
Yeah, I think that might just be an example of the general placebo effect though.
Turns out mathematics are broken too
It's a crazy world we live in, isn't it!
Top tier as always! Nice adventure time reference!
@@Projectlalo Thank you, thank you :)

Well my boredom was cured!

Yikes. Just goes to show that life is dangerous no matter where you are!
@@bobtasticvids could be flying on a radioactive plane or could be falling into a nuclear reactor's core
Nothing against nuclear power. Let er rip! A deeper comparison between energy sources and their effectiveness at generating power might be helpful.
Agreed! I'll need to put that on the list of videos to make!
The worst thing about nuclear is that global powers like the UN won’t allow third world countries to use nuclear to get them selves stabilized.
I haven't heard much about that. I'll have to look into it.
Hey you make great content bro, please make a tutorial on how you make these videos. Subbed!
Thanks! I'll try to get a tutorial out soon.
Good content but sound is off this week. Can barely hear it with my headphones on max. And my truck stereo is turned to max just to barely hear it too. Super interesting though.
Hmmm, I'll try to adjust for that.
Dang, that's super sad dude!
Agreed! Hopefully they find a solution soon!
Shocking!
Literally ;)
