Mostly for Aussenseiter! The ship of theseus isn't a ship at all!

Just remember that commie gobbledy**** is a feature of the self within which your ships are sailing ⛵

@Duik - g'day mate!

Someone online today told me that koalas and the trees they eat are the same person.

Is that true?

Can Koalas exist without Eucalyptus. Let's take evolutionary selection into account. So if the trees never existed. Would we have Koalas. Just like they are today?

A bear is not a tree, quit screwing with me.

Their relation is symbiotic. The trees eat their shit made up of their fellow brethren trees.

As a note aside, I'm waiting for koalas to manifest on the eucalyptus trees in my back yard.

Oh and koalas aren't Ursine. Marsupials are actually more closely related to rodentia.

So what you are saying is Koalas exist better with the trees and without the koalas a single Eucalyptus exists just fine.

Imo G-d made the trees and koalas together. And means them to be together.

I'm less sure G-d intended us to separate the Koala from their... his. Trees.

Now as for Aussenseiter. There's room for concrete and discreet perceptions of the ship of Theseus. However. They aren't "the ship" still. Subtract the rest of the universe and theseus and his ship cease to be problematic.

As far as the sailors are concerned the ships are real and beneath them. However at some point the world can no longer continue to provide planks and rope and sails. Or the world itself breaks apart. Consuming its ships of theseus.

So perhaps the simplest answer. Is yes. It's the same ship so long as you are able to go on believing it is so. And that is fine. It's also a delusion to ascribe a moral or ethical judgment upon such a belief.

Don't worry. I love koalas. On their trees. Not my person. Unless it's a really cute Koala print dress!

Isn't it amazing though. Almost virtually anything can manifest these days!
