When I think about how The Ship of Theseus is happening at a cellular level, I think about how my neurons, and how my brain, my organs and my body are not what it used to be

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building roc.camera, writings: july.rocks

one of my favorite ponderings when applying The Ship of Theseus to the body: the face is a copy, of a copy, of a copy where each revolution is different from the last, leading to the question, what exactly defines "you"

I thought neurons didn't really regenerate and stayed constant through life. But also yes, the majority of the human body is entirely new like every 7-10 years IIRC

I am a sum of my parts, and on a cellular scale, my parts seem fungible
