What if you murder someone, and then use the Startrek teleporter to go somewhere, could you argue that the murderer is now dead and this new "you" is just your very identical twin? I think it could work, because technically there is nothing left of the original person on any physical level. Just two sets of people who were REALLY similar, but never co-existed. If you just age normally, there will always be some parts that were in the body of the murderer, thus it would be harder to argue that they are two separate entities. Meanwhile teleportation destroys the original on an atomic level, and assembles a new one. It is very different to aging.

It's moronic. "I'm not the same person I was two weeks ago when I shot that man, ergo I cannot be held responsible." You'll never (or at least I hope you'd never) find any sensible lawyer attempt to use this as a defense, nor any jury buy into it. This is an interesting through experiment, but it's insane to assume that these changes happen so fast and are so great that they make you an entirely different person. Yes, I'm no longer baby me, but I still carry over the same continuity of action and memory (barring traumatic event that erases the latter). That continued continuity is what contains the self, not some static box that holds items. A person is not an object, they're a timeline.

It was my body holding the gun but I was insane for those 5 minutes. The insanity is what caused the shooting not "me". If that defence was successful I'd probably still need to do some sort of mental health examination after the trial.

"Why is it always on the rug" killed me, i love crash course philosophy

I feel like this series could go on forever because the deeper you go, more and more questions pop up and you can spend timeless hours thinking about them and finding new questions to ask. I hope that's the case because I really like this series. It's very entertaining!

If you're a programmer, just think of "Identity" as a Git-Repository. Each commit is like a different version of oneself. What distinguishes me from everyone else is that nobody comes from the same string of commits that I do. Not any one commit is my identity, but the whole branch, from beginning to ending. And whenever I meet an old friend, the "what have you been doing these last years" question is just like pulling the latest changes of your friend's repository to your old local copy of it.

The self isn't an "illusion", but it's also not some fixed truth. The self is a generalization that use in order to comprehend the complexity of actions, patterns, and ideas that originate from what we identify as a single source. It's a tool that works for practical uses, which breaks down when you try to apply stiff characterizations to it such as changing or unchanging.

I really wish that Crash Course Philosophy had a reading list to go along with each video! I'm not studying philosophy at school so if anybody could recommend some reading material, that would be awesome.

Finally some theories that take into account that everything is always changing. I always had trouble to understand why we were trying so hard to define dynamic elements with static definitions. From my point of view, what define someone is not who he is in this instant (his cellular/atomic constitution, his memories, his mood, etc.) but how this person is changing and/or reacting to external stimulus. How someone change/react is obviously highly linked to previous life experiences that build him this way. Build a pot and a strainer (previous life experiences) and pour water in it (external stimuli), one will retain the water the other one will let it pass through (how they change/react). Another example (theoretical example here): there would be only one of my friends that would cry if I said the word "Sally" because he is the only one who had a dog called Sally, to whom he was deeply attached, and that had a sensitive enough personality that would make him cry thinking about it. That's how I can define him, how he change/react.

I'm really surprised this video didn't mention Buddhism or any buddhist scholars. That religion has been exploring the idea of the absence of a lasting coherent self for 2500 years. And Crash Course Philosophy CLEARLY has no issue going into religion

No mention of the Buddha? He held these views on the self, or no-self, over a thousand years before Hume could even formulate a coherent thought.

The Buddha wasn't a philosopher; he didn't say that there is no self, he said that all things are impermanent therefore we should let go of "self", because that which is impermanent and bound with suffering isn't fit to be called me/mine/myself. I'd also be gratified to see the Buddha mentioned here, but I don't think he'd fit.

But was it before Hume could formulate a coherent thought? At least some of the atoms and subatomic particles that made up the cells that made up his body were part of cells that made up the bodies of people who could coherently think long before Buddha. So why were those people not Hume? Is it only Hume when those atoms are all combined together? If that is the case then Hume only existed for a second, as the atoms that his body was comprised of were constantly being lost and replaced. Did Hume ever truly exist, or just an illusion of an existence that we call Hume? And yes, this was all a long-winded joke. But what is a joke, really? If it was a joke before, is it one now? Is it all a matter of how it is perceived and ergo is different things to different people, how far does the authors intention define its meaning?

Western philosophical canon has a strange relationship with Eastern philosophical thought; philosophers like Hegel disregarded them entirely, for instance. Many lump Buddhist and Hindu ideas into the realm of religious studies. Still, religion itself is founded on metaphysics, and you don't have to buy in to a religion to study and appreciate the metaphysical concepts it contains. Jiva, atman, samsara, pratitya samatpuda and numerous other concepts are fascinating and all found in Eastern philosophies. So, all that to say: I agree with you. I'm really hoping this course takes us deeper into Eastern philosophy at some point. We had a reference to Zhuangzi in the episode on death, which is a start, but there's so much more to tap into.

+tonbonthemon I think the line between what does and doesn't constitute a philosopher is a bit murky here. The Buddha presented a response to the Hindu ideas of the time; would you consider those ideas to not be philosophical? Regardless of whether you consider the Buddha himself a philosopher, you can absolutely consider the metaphysical principles he espoused as well as the ones he was responding to. Either way, discussion of Buddhism is definitely germane to this topic.

Patrick Monroe I guess it's a matter of how you define philosophy. Personally, I think it's just a way of fabricating/holding viewpoints about the world or our place in it. The Buddha didn't just reject notions of self or create notions of no-self for the sake of having ideas, he saw the connection between identity-view(s) and suffering and therefore abandoned it, and instructed us to do the same.

Screw teleporters, in the Culture universe by Iain M Banks, people send entire copied mind states all over the place to deliver messages or be in multiple places at once (Through the use of androids and/or clones) and the only thing most people worry about is that those other copies actually believe they are you... =p Note that this is the same universe that frowns on making too detailed computer simulations of people because they might conceivably be counted as new life forms.

You know I’m imagining how this argument would hold up in court. “You see your honor, I didn’t kill this man. He was killed by the person who went under this identity yesterday. I’m a completely different person.”

Another great episode. I have always found the notion of an epistemic justification for identity applied for the purposes of forming an ontology of identification super interesting, though also frequently confusing. A.N. Whitehead once said: "The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato". There is some definite merit to that, but I think you can take the same idea and push it back even farther. To a debate between noted ancient philosophers, though primarily their students, much of which we have lost to time. Plato wrote about a lot of things, but I think his primary goal was to build on the philosophy of Parmenides and Heraclitus, because I think they were the first real fundamental philosophers that put their thoughts down in a way Plato could really work with. Their debate, which was actually a debate between their followers after both had died, was one of history's first great theoretical dichotomies, and I think that same debate applies to this episode. It seems to once again be the same debate repeating itself, just with a focus on different details or nuances. Parmenides, at least per Plato's description of him, seemed to prefer the notion that all the universe is really just one thing, through some means he did not explain very well, echoing through its single, solitary existence in a way which makes it seem as though it is not all one thing. Our brains trick us into separating the world into different categories, but we have no good logical reason to do so. All is one, our senses are untrustworthy, and we can only trust reason to show us the truth (you can see how this influenced Plato via the Socratic Dialogues, because Socrates is usually echoing a similar sentiment, at least as applied to virtue and morality). Heraclitus, on the other hand, seemed to advocate that the only thing that really exists in the Universe is change. That the stuff we are made of exists, but it is only really doing anything when energy is being put into it so it changes. That while we say and think this wooden chair exists, it was actually the changes in matter that caused it to become a seed, then a tree, and now to have been cut down and reshapped into a chair. That the only thing that was really different about the seed and tree and chair is how much they changed, in comparison to one another, so the only thing we can logically and consistently argue is everything is different, because change is the one fundamental thing int he Universe that keeps it going. Since he thought this process was always happening basically everywhere all the time, he seemed to think that it was the only real important aspect of nature, and that then since all nature supervenes on another part to bring about this constant change, it was the only real fundamental thing about nature, and ethics, that matters. For example, he said "No man can walk into the same river twice", which we think means that since the water in the river is in a different place, its character is also now different, so by virtue of that undeniable change, it changes the identity of the river because it is not in exactly the same state as it was, in a number of different categories. Taken to their logical conclusions, both models end up being basically the exact opposite of one another. Parmenides says all is one, nothing changes, and senses are an illusion. Heraclitus says all is change, nothing is really deeply connected to anything else aside from their tendency to change, and so nothing this second is exactly the same as it was the previous second. Plato seemed to prefer Parmenides' take on it, but incorporated aspects of Heraclitus as to how the modality of the pure form of something can change as it is applied to the real, physical world and make it less "pure' from the source, or one true reality. Hank is still talking about that same argument; just with different names and details. The constant change thing is an obvious connection, but there are a number of other ones that are not quite as obvious, that still make it the same sort of argument. In the case of the H v P applied to this video, a person using a Star Trek style teleportation device would in a Parmenidian sense still be the same person, as if all things are one, it is just another reflection of that same thing, just at a different physical place and time. The different place and time are also the same thing, just our sense confusing us as to where it is. A Heracletian reading would tell us that the original person is gone, and that the new one is a copy. So it's funny to me, to see that Whitehead was probably right, but that Plato himself was sort of writing footnotes on Parmenides and Heraclitus. So we see the same sort of debate again and again, but with some minor details changed to make it relevant and worth thinking about to the ever expanding generations of people who also are trying to figure all this out. Not that I am complaining about the repetition. I love this debate. I love that historical connection, and most of all I love just thinking about it anyway. I personally fall on the Heracletian side of this debate, so technically I don't even think it is the same exact debate, because you can't step foot into the same river twice. So I don't know if I will ever get tired of it. Also, that doesn't even get into the other schools of thought regarding this, outside of the Western Philosophical tradition. Though, Dr Micheal Sugree makes a compelling argument that Parmenides is pretty close to those Eastern Mystics already. That though we lost 99% of his written works, that we can piece enough together through later people like Plato talking about him, and it sounds quite a bit like what some Hindu, Taoist, Buddhist, Jainist and Confucian ancients also wrote about. All things being one was a pretty common take on the Universe in the East, especially with the Mystics. However, even if the ideas are similar, it still doesn't really get into what the actual Eastern Thinkers thought about it, and it is a whole other can of worms.

Here's the thing about the changing self: like evolution, the changes are so gradual and so nuanced that, to the people moving alongside you that are able to observe them, they might as well not be happening at all. As people grow and are influenced by other things so too do they influence others around them, subconsciously forcing them to change with the party in question. If you, say, have a friend in Kindergarten, but then are separated until your late thirties when you meet up again you very likely WILL not recognize each other because of who you were then. However, for the vast majority of people's interactions with one another are more regular and more personal, meaning that your friends will very rarely see a different you. The mistake I'm seeing here is the assumption that consciousness is a set thing. It's not. Self isn't like a rock, it's more like water; fluid, flowing, more susecptable to change and often in minute ways that you'll never realize.

Welcome to the CC philosophy drinking game! Take a shot everytime you hear "you"

Got recommended to watch this for my university philosophy course and i am super happy!

Having had three kids my observations have confirmed for me at least what I have long thought, personality and temperament are there at brith and remain with you for life. Your entire physical substance might change over the course of your life, along with preferances, opinions and even morals and ethics, but there is no escaping what is fundamentally you.

"You" is the energy that changes you, that keeps you growing and evolving in your own particular way, your journey, the same way "You" to a plant is the energy that grows the seed into a big plant.

I both love and hate philosophy for the same reasons. It just drives me crazy :')

If you want to see what could potentially happen when someone completely loses their personal identity (their name, memories, and concept of self) and how that could possibly damage/change their humanity, I'd strongly recommend the series Monster.

Super liberating. I'm so on board 👍

Doesn't the birth-you continue to exist in basic physiological needs--desire for food and love, reacting negatively to pain, etc.?

+Ellis Panetta That's evolutionary... every creature experiences instinctual needs to ensure the proliferation of the species. This is more towards the "Who am I and what is my purpose" type of argument.

+Francis “PsykoGhost” Steitz I'd argue that being human, having human needs, is part of your personal identity. I don't think you can consider personal identity as something separate from us as animals.

But what's the difference between humans needing food and say, a dog needing food? There really isn't one. From a squid to a polar bear to a peacock... They experience all that we experience due to the hardwiring of survival in each of them. Sure, as humans, we have a higher emotional understanding of certain needs and instincts but to say the rudimentary emotions of animals are different than ours due to us as higher thinking animals gives us too much credit as a species.

+Francis “PsykoGhost” Steitz Exactly! The instincts we share with other animals are as much part of our identity as our memories, desires, emotions. We wouldn't be ourselves without them.

I suppose I can see what you're talking about, but I can't agree with it being a part of our identity, especially when we can't even prove we exist, if we talk about instincts from a purely philosophical viewpoint. But then that opens a whole other can of worms. Hell, we could open a bait shop after that...

I must distinguish between the 2 versions of what somebody is, (bear with me.) The subjective definition of who somebody is, affects many. This is the "me" that everybody interacts with. This subjective "me" operates at the level of "the imaginative" as described by Jacques Lacan. When people talk about their character, their personality, and the qualities that make them them, they are talking, (generally) about this subjective version of themselves. Obviously, the next part is discussing the objective definition of what somebody is. This is what somebody is at the moment, from moment to moment. Every time something, anything, changes then the person changes as well. Therefore, objectively everybody is in constant flux as time "progresses", but we do not interact with other, (nor our world,) in an objective way. This is my answer to "The Ship of Theseus Paradox".

To not care about philosophy is to be a true philosopher.

Don't judge someone for their past because they're not in the past anymore. Instead judge them for what they are now because they are in the present. I used to be a big transphobic online bully, but now I'm a kind, open, and rational person because I made changes to myself and became a different person

I really prefer the idea that I have no real identity, because it means I have no obligation to be the same person and act the same from day to day.

I like many of these crash course videos but the philosophy thread is very Euro-centric. Hume's ideas are hardly original: the principle of non-self has been a significant tenant in Buddhist thought for millennia. Our understandings of (non)existence, divinity, the cosmos, and (non)self will be very limited if we constrict our investigation of the human experience to only one cultural expression.
