Miaoling asked curiously: "Paradox? What paradox? Come on, tell me."
So Cheng Bi told everyone the story of the ship of Theseseus.
This is one of the oldest thought experiments. It was first recorded by Plutarch. It describes a ship that can sail at sea for hundreds of years, thanks to constant repairs and replacement parts. As long as a plank rots
, it will be replaced, and so on, until all functional parts are no longer the original ones. The question is whether the final ship is still
Is it the original ship of Theseus, or is it a completely different ship? If it is not the original ship, then at what point does it cease to be the original ship? The philosopher Thomasobbes later extended this, if using the word "thesus"
The old parts removed from the ship of Theseus are used to rebuild a new ship. So which of the two ships is the real ship of Theseus?
For philosophers, the Ship of Theseus has been used to study the nature of identity. In particular, to discuss whether an object is merely the sum of its component parts. A more modern example would be a band that continues to evolve until at a certain stage no one in the band is
Any original member. This question can be applied to various fields. For enterprises, they still maintain their original names after continuous mergers and acquisitions and changes of owners. For the human body, the human body is constantly undergoing metabolism and self-repair. The core idea of this experiment is to force
People reflect on the common sense that identity is limited to actual objects and phenomena.
The Ship of Theseus keeps replacing parts, and finally all the parts are replaced. During the whole process, it obviously has space-time continuity, just like your body is constantly undergoing metabolism, but it does not affect its space-time continuity at all; the replaced ship
The board is a little different from the previous ship board, but the difference is not big, the functions are exactly the same, and the complexity of the entire ship
In comparison, this difference is negligible. The structure of the entire ship has basically not changed. Even if there are some changes, it is like you have become a little older than a few years ago. This difference does not affect the identity at all. Therefore, Theseus
The ship is still the ship of Theseus, you can replace the planks a thousand times and it will still be the same - this does not affect the identity at all.
You use the replaced ship plates and parts to assemble another ship. I don't care if the structure is different. It has no space-time continuity with the ship of Theseus, so it is another ship. You can call it whatever you want, it is not a special ship.
Si's ship.
At this point, it is not difficult for everyone to see that the real and fake ectoplasmic pools are similar to the Ship of Theseus. Even if the water in the original ectoplasmic pool has been replaced, it will not change due to the same identity.
It is the essence of the ichor pool.
As for the specially emphasized "real" concept, it completely confuses the audience and confuses judgment. Therefore, the so-called real spiritual liquid pool should be the original spiritual liquid pool, not the one built by Ida later.
Although everyone basically still vaguely understands it, after all, there are relatively complex philosophical theories in it, but they have always believed that if Zhao Chen and Cheng Bi are right, then it must not be a wrong theory, so they unanimously agreed to submit it after it went online.
Task.
At this moment, Cheng Bi received a call from Xiao Jin. It turned out that they had been wasting a lot of time talking about this topic, and Xiao Jin called to urge her.
A note to readers:
Dear, this is the first time Xiaoyu is trying to post on a mobile phone. She is not used to it yet. I don’t know what the effect will be. It is outside. I will check it out tomorrow. If it is not good, I will definitely change it.
In this romantic and beautiful day of 1314, I wish you all a happy holiday, health, happiness, and everything goes well. I am also very grateful for your support. I will work harder and let us work together: Awesome 2014!
