It’s the same house how is it different
I obviously re-made it, so it must be new, even if I used the same original pieces.
No because the end product is the same thing
Your saying that because I used one part and replaced it with another part from the same set it’s now a new house
I make a house, then I tear it apart and leave the pieces in a box.
The next day, someone else comes along and makes a house with the same pieces in the same orientation I made it in.
They made a house. They objectively made a new house, despite it being the same as my previous one.
Your definition of something “new” must be very different from mine
I think we can ratify this logically. Suppose you can quantum entangle two ships perfectly piece by piece. By reordering the pieces on one ship, it does infact affect the other ship, which means something must have happened to the ship
oh please no quantum
I think the logical answer is yes, it is a different ship
NotLikeThis
No they made the same house as you
Nobody is saying nothing happens to the ship which is half the argument of that Wei thing does happen to the ship leading to planks needing to be replaced
But the ship isn’t new it’s the same ship
I disagree
I do not think it logically can be the same ship
You are why science is dying
that's a wild statement
I think it is functionally the same, but functionally is not hte same as being the same
I'm gonna say it's similar to my initial stance on the ship, once over 50% of the pieces are "swapped" then it can be considered a new ship
I think I am going to go further, and say the moment you replace a single plank in the normal ship of thesius hypothetical, it is a new ship
and thus, a single plank swap also makes a new ship
Delusional
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak and thus, a single plank swap also makes a new ship
this is certainly a bold claim.
By that logic, changing a hard drive in a computer would make it a new computer?
Everything you own must be new because a new piece of dust accumulated on it
Yes polu
I think you are constantly dying and a new 'you' is existing
this is consistant with my already held beliefs
this sounds very Whitehead's Metaphysics now
So therefore your appartment is new and should have no complaints to the landlord
Nor familiar with that, but if he agrees with me, aI agree with him
I think you are functionally the same thing
I think literally by definition you are not
Also known as process philosophy.
functional similarity and actual similarity are different quantifiers
Replying to polu #polutropos There is a point where an object becomes new when the core is replaced
This is true
Polk is like giga max brain
How many members of Team Phijkchu would have to be replaced until it's a new team?
All of the core members would have to be gone
I think phijkchu is different every era
Replying to LadyLilina #ladylilina How many members of Team Phijkchu would have to be replaced until it's a new team?
From pika perspective the team is new every second as one cell dies and another takes its place
If one plank replaced makes the ship new, then one cell replaced makes a person new.
Replying to (Not Spooky) Spark Dragon #sparkdragoon If one plank replaced makes the ship new, then one cell replaced makes a person new.
Now you're getting it
My brain is activating slowly
Nice talking to you Lilina
I hope you update the steam page saying you got a new team for touching gent
Toushin
do not touch gent
that is a fast track to having him ban you
I can't beleive I missed a multi-hour sandwich debate while taking a midterm
Sorry spooky
thems the way the cookie (its a wrap) crumbles
I will not re-open the debate, but the old topological definition is superior to your new functional one

Possibly
For all other Phijkchu
Elon is doing a Twitter-integrated basketball thing this year
we're all going to make brackets and lose to Mini who actually knows shit
Replying to LadyLilina #ladylilina there are people who have @ everyone enabled? Wild .
It is possible to disable "@ everyone"? You are telling me this NOW!? There have been so many servers I've wished to disable it for.
Why am I seeing beyblades everywhere again?
Let it rip
its time, the phijkchu irl bayblade arc is upon us
I noticed it a bit online, but I've now seen 2 people with battle areanas setups out in public today
the one at chick-fil-a, was this crazy multi-level one
and then I saw two kids playing with a basic vortex on the ground in a different parking lot
I feel like the rapture is coming
