Personally i don`t consider scientific criteria because you will generally hit a fuzzy area if you try to progress like this where things will seem alive and dead at same time... i believe it would be better if one just says whatever moves than it is alive... if you look like this than there isn`t anything that isn`t moving... so everything is alive and you don`t hit a point where you see dead chemicals creating life..

@@XWierdThingsHappenX this is such a binary thinking... worth of computers, not humans "I say the ship becomes new when there is more new parts than the original ship." Parts don't matter, what matters is the abstract structure, that's why you could replace all the parts and still have that ship. 50% of parts replaced is such an arbitrary number... This western foundation of thinking, this essentialism and immutable "purity". Yet, people believe in souls... go figure What's a soul if not the abstract mathematical structure of a thing, that's what defines it, not the real parts. Complex things have no essential formula, they are complex dynamic systems, you can't reduce complexity. Damn reductionism , that is, bullshit. You have to study things on the proper level of complexity, you switch between levels, you never try to break things into smaller things. That only works for computers and mathematics, not for complex dynamic systems, which living things are. The total is always greater than sum of the parts in complex systems. That's what leads people to hopelessly try to separate things into categories like "life" and "inanimate", when actually both are the same thing, the categories are made up, they are arbitrary, such binary reductionism leads to no understanding. Life is made of chemistry which is made of "inanimate" matter. But chemistry is much dynamic, just go see some things exploding, that's chemistry, life is controlled explosion that keeps burning. Even wonder why we consume oxygen ? its because we are slowly burning things, that's what mitochondria does. You only need a self-fulfilling chemical reaction to evolve over time to create life. Life is not different from any other chemical reaction, except in complexity, its much more complex, has much more abstraction layers on top of each other, each of it giving birth to new complex irreducible behavior on top of the previous layer, but its just chemistry on the bottom, not a different "magical" thing. The magic is the universal complexity. Yet, no part of it could evolve individually by chance, that's when people make the error. But still, if it starts very simple, it evolves in irreducible complexity from the very "beginning", if you can call a begin. Was it when the planet was formed ? when it cooled down, or its already the result of the complex chemical reactions of that big ball of matter that formed earth cooling down, where's the beginning of the reaction ? was it when the Sun exploded for the first time in its nuclear reaction from space dust ? perhaps... Chemistry only needs gradients in thermodynamics to work... That's the only thing it needs, and that was created in the first milliseconds of the Universe, it all goes back to the singularity. Everything is like the same thing, its pure energy ! That's the soul of the Universe. Universe itself is alive in is uttermost complexity.

Whenever someone tattoos a part of his/her body, if the ink is not part of the body, then why doesn’t the tattoos go away along with the dead cells? You would think that the tattoos would disappear with the dead cells within a 100 days of putting them on. However, I still have the tattoos on the very same place where they were put on 12 years ago. Is it possible that whenever a foreign object, such as ink, is incorporated with the skin that that foreign object becomes an integral part of the cells? If so, then how exactly is that possible?

I think the key to the Ship of Theseus to me is the line between maintenance and rebuilding. If every year the ship operates I need to rip off a few planks that have rotted and replace them, most people would agree that the ship has continuity and it hasn’t really changed even after years and every bit being replaced. But if the ship sunk and then a year later just the bow washed up on some shore and I rebuilt the rest of the ship, it would seem more that I’ve built something new, using a small bit of something older. Some people might say, well… there’s still a continuity, but most people would also think it reasonable that upon completing this rebuild I give this ship a new name, and that it would have something of a new identity. Still tied to the old one, but nonetheless distinct. I think it’s sort of, as long as the action of replacing only affects a minority of the whole at any one time, it’s fine.

The whole thing boils down to the question, where is the boundary between thinking it's just being maintained and when does it become new? Where should our definition draw the line? Please stop thinking you are edgy, cool or helping any debate/thought experiment ever with this kind of logic. It's similiar to the religious filling in stuff they don't know with god. It just kills the discussion and serves no real purpose. Everyone capable of this level of critical thought understands how language works.

@@BD-yl5mh it really depends on the view of the persons involved. If more then half the people interacting with the object call it by a specific name (and it has no way of disputing that or naming itself) then that's more or less the name. Philosophy seems to try to think about something more then it needs to to come to a conclusion. Sure we could define "The ship isn't the ship of theseus anymore if 51% are changed out by new/other material" but in the end it's the people who still call it "the ship of theseus" who give it that specific identity until enough people change it to a different identity. (I'm not saying if enough people call a rock a bird that now it should'Ve be able to fly and chirp, what I'm saying is if enough people call a rock a bird then the name changes, nothing else)

@@DarthObscurity What's the purpose of arguing about the name of something? Because it's really only that if we only argue about the identity of something. The identity is that of which enough (most) people give to an object (a person can normally try and articulate their identity and we should accept that one, even if we don't agree) What I'm saying is: in the real world we more or less just give something an identity until enough people change their mind/call it something else. Almost noone in the real world argues about how much changed of something especially if they don't even know how much changed (or don't care) just to give it an identity. What I'm saying is: I'm me and my name is Quintar for as long as I (and others) are willing to call me Quintar. No matter of how many parts of myself I change will change that fact until I decide to change my identity/name.

7:50 I remember hearing somewhere that house dust is mostly dead skin.

3:02 It is impossible to step in the same river twice, for not only is the water different, but the observer of that river has also changed. Follow up with body cells being regenerated in a 100-day cycle.

That's an artistic, imaginative way of destroying cellular replacement. When our skin is scaley, it is a visual of dead cells being replaced by new cells. Soap that is an emolient helps remove the dead cells.

Sir Terry Pratchett (in the book Thud, I think) brought this question up years ago. It's worth the philosophical energy expended. Change is a constant.

I never realized that blood cells were missing so much of what other cells typically have! That's pretty amazing to think about, that they might not actually be considered cells because they are missing so much!!! - I always love the content of these videos!! :D

A blood 'cell' is a misnomer. you'd have to read up about why it's called a cell when the biological understanding is something that has a nucleus, which a blood 'cell' does not - the correct word for a 'blood cell' is a erythrocyte.

Well all of our hair is already dead, alive hairs appear in the scalp and once they grow out of it their dead, you might notice why the strands of our keeps growing longer each month its because the scalp makes it grow it produces keratin, even our nails nails are also dead, so hair and nails are similar.

Ok so before I watch another awesome video here, I had a thought once that aside from perhaps the brain, geez this can also go back to your “when is now?” video… highly recommended… but that yes your bodies cells divide, grow, die, and are replaced, though it doesn’t happen at one time, it’s my thought that after long enough, the being that made up you in the past, no longer exists, as after long enough every bit has died off and been replaced into your current being… but anyways let’s watch and see if that’s where you’re going with this…

It is a fair question, and I like Vision's answer in that the ship is the rot and wear, the experiences of the thing, accumulated along the way much like we are our memories, knowledge, and responses accumulated along our own lives.

Commenting for the algorithm, because this channel deserves it :")

In the Uk the replacing bits is known to many as Trigger's broom. From a sitcom where the character Trigger says he’s had the same broom for 30 years, but has replaced the head and the handle many times.

So, are we living the Star Trek transporter paradox in extreme slow motion, or is it the near instantaneous action of the transporter that makes it a paradox?

I did think about this when I was a kid when I learned that our cells are always on cycle. That I don’t have the same body when I was a baby.. so I thought what made me me is my life experiences that are stored as my memories, or my soul if it existed.

i"ve never thought about died cells and how much of me is alive before watching this video. Thanks to creator of this video. Now i think about all of these fact. fascinating video
