Niggas, I'm staying up all night (and probably all day too) writing a thesis on logic, fallacies, and paradoxes, thought experiments and the likes of this shit. Don't ask why.
"Also known as Theseus’s paradox, is a thought experiment that raises the question of whether an object that has had all its parts replaced is still the same object. It is as described as this: “suppose the Ship of Theseus is deemed seaworthy for hundreds of years because even when just one plank of it gets loose, it is replaced immediately. This process of repairing is repeated until each part has been replaced by another at least once. Can it still be considered the Ship of Theseus when no original part remains?” .This thought experiment was recorded by the Greek historian Plutarch in “Life of Theseus”. This was his exact words:
"The ship wherein Theseus and the youth of Athens returned from Crete had thirty oars, and was preserved by the Athenians down even to the time of Demetrius Phalereus, for they took away the old planks as they decayed, putting in new and stronger timber in their place, in so much that this ship became a standing example among the philosophers, for the logical question of things that grow; one side holding that the ship remained the same, and the other contending that it was not the same."
This paradox has been discussed by more ancient philosophers such as Heraclitus, Socrates and Plato. Platos himself reportedly built a ship much like the one Theseus had in which he had a logical threesome with Theseus and Aristotle, all of which made sure to use their rod of wisdom."
Unrevised version, lazy version. I don't know. Comment about grammar, maybe? Insult my inferior intellect? Amuse the Succubi Master?
This is lame. Spending all night writing what I don't want to
Wait. I'm probably wasting too much time here...
