The Ship of Theseus thought experiment asks: If you replace every part of a ship, is it still the same ship?
This ancient paradox raises profound questions about identity and change, especially relevant to us humans! We replace most of our cells every few years. So, are we the same people we were a decade ago?
What constitutes our identity – our physical form, memories, consciousness? It's a fascinating puzzle that highlights the dynamic nature of self.
