@freequaybuoy Then consider the following scenario: I own a boat. Over time, I've replaced every single part of the boat, from the sails to the hull, but it still has the same name (title), the same registration number in the Register of Shipping (database id), and the same overall measurements (metadata). By your own argument, it's still the same boat.

@TerrorBite @freequaybuoy @wikipedia that actually appears to be how those centuries old wooden temples and other structures (at a minimum) in Japan work.

@jmbreuer @TerrorBite @wikipedia See also the Great Mosque of Djenné, which has had its adobe composition replaced many times, yet is still the Great Mosque of Djenné.

@TerrorBite @wikipedia Ah but it is, but not by that argument alone. Objects' distinctions don't really exist, or rather, they are subjective. Where does an object start and end? Are the molecules, atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks and gluons the same over time? Does it matter? Objects are categories that we assign, based on our particular scale, perception, memory and knowledge. Therefore, Trigger's Broom *is* still Trigger's Broom. Here's Michael for more:

@freequaybuoy what people fail to realise is that i have been collecting discarded ship parts, and can now build a second and extremely fucked up ship.
