The Ship of Theseus is one of those paradoxes everyone has heard of, and I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before. But last night I actually sat down to read about it properly, and I went way deeper than I planned to .. The setup is simple. You have a ship. Over the years you replace every part of it, one at a time, until none of the original pieces are left. Is it still the same ship? Then it gets better. Say someone kept all the old parts and built a second ship out of them. Now there are two ships, and both have a decent claim to being the original. They can't both be it. What got me is that this was never really about ships. It's asking what makes anything the same thing over time when everything about it has changed. Which obviously gets uncomfortable fast when you turn it on yourself. My cells have been replaced. My beliefs have changed. Half my memories are gone or rewritten. So what exactly is doing the work of making me the same person as the kid in my old photos? I did a a bit research reading abt identity, the self, and the different answers philosophers have given. Some of them dissolve the question entirely by arguing there is no ship, only planks arranged ship-wise. There's a lot more here than I expected. This is Day 1 .... I was hoping for vm but not today lol Will share the Resources I used also

focus on this 😉

And films as well :)

So I came up with this idea and I honestly don’t know if it’s going to work, but I want to try it for at least two weeks, maybe a month. Basically, I don’t want to stop learning things just because I’m not actively studying for my degree anymore. So I thought, what if every night I just learn something? It could be a new concept, five pages of a book, some weird math thing, physics, psychology, computer science related …literally anything. It doesn’t have to be related to anything I’m doing. I just want to keep learning… And then the next morning, I’ll try to explain whatever I learned the night before. I’m not going to prepare some perfect explanation or pretend I’m an expert. I’ll just wake up and explain it in whatever way I understood it. It could be a video, a voice recording, plain text… whatever feels right that morning. And actually, if there’s something you’ve always wanted to understand, send it to me. Give me a concept, a question, something weird you learned, anything.(https://sma.robi.work/b/nOrDRZ6Nh8x6) I’ll pick some of them and try to learn them at night and explain them the next morning. So yeah…

Abt this will probably answer them when I get sometime …. (Soon ) ❤️‍🔥

The giveaway is here It’s one of my favorite book and I added a little bookmark with some cute art lol really hope they love it and, most importantly, respect the little tot lol 🥹🤍 (this is what I can afford for 5 ppl)

Just saw a ferenji running around putting pineapple on his head 😭(መላጣ) to be specific Like???? The confidence??? The audacity??? I need that level of unbothered in life…..fr (laughed so hard )

Insnae than expected damn

Okay so I watched a lecture on systems thinking a while back and it's been living in my head since It basically gave me names for ways I'd already been thinking about things without realizing the ways had names.But on this one learned some new stuff fr Reductionism

if something's complicated, break it into parts. Body → organs → cells → molecules → atoms. Wildly successful in science. But there's a catch: knowing what every component of a computer does doesn't tell you what happens when they're all running at once. The relationships between the parts start mattering too.

Cartesian dualism

Descartes splitting the world in two: physical stuff on one side (bodies, objects), mental stuff on the other (thoughts, experience). Which immediately opens the annoying question — how does something physical, like a brain, produce something subjective, like a thought?

Emergence

this is the one that got me. A property that shows up at the level of the whole but doesn't exist in any part on its own. One neuron doesn't have a memory. Billions of them interacting somehow do. Individual air and water molecules aren't a hurricane, but enough of them under the right conditions and suddenly there's this huge organized thing with a name and a track. So where does the new property actually live? Not inside any single part. It's in the interactions.

Systems thinking

instead of only asking "what are the parts," you also ask "how are they connected, and what happens because of that." A tree isn't just cells and roots and leaves, it's also sunlight, soil, fungi, insects, the whole environment around it. Pull it out of all that and study it alone and you learn real things just not the whole picture.

The way it stacks up reductionism explains the parts, systems thinking explains the relationships, emergence explains how relationships produce something new. It keeps going into consciousness, complexity, self-organization, chaos, cybernetics, even panpsychism.((

Panpsychism is the view that consciousness or something proto-conscious, some minimal form of experience is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of physical reality, present in some degree in all matter rather than appearing only in brains

Asp t you also start wondering what counts as a "thing" in the first place, which I was not prepared for on a random weekday (gotta share it )

Treasure 😳

Learned a lot from this thing too gotta write something

After grad sma? Lol
