Absolutely not! But this applies to anything or anyone. What you are today is not what you were yesterday and will not be what you are tomorrow. The deception is due to language, which is a convention, not a reality.
@Nikokaro Noam Chomsky wrote that the ship is not a thing in itself, but a conceptualization from our minds in our signification of reality. Therefore, the ship is the same, because of perceptual continuity through time and space. As long as the ship looks the same, performs the same and is interacted with the same, it is the same from the human standpoint of signification of reality.
That's what I said. It is the same only by linguistic convention and practical utility. But even its space-time continuity is only appearance and a simplification of convenience.
In that vein, considering that the human body renews itself every ten to fifteen years, are prison sentences with a longer time period fair? After all, it's not the same person.
Prison is one part retribution, one part rehabilitation and another part protecting society at large. Regardless what you pretend about cell renewal a person who murders or robs and gets a sentence that long is likely still a danger even that many years on
@Dark_Phoras Why every ten or fifteen years? Every day, hour, minute the body and mind are renewed. Atoms regenerate at every moment, and about the mind, it depends on the degree of maturity, independence, detachment from the past, openness, no-stagnation, courage to evolve.
@Nikokaro this is one reason why philosophy is important, with a mere reflection we conjured an obscure paradigm in the interpretation of the human condition, with repercussions for the concepts of prison, rehabilitation, love, ownership, self-identity, among others.
btw i feel this a good time to remind you guys that sea of thieves was made by rare, who also made DKC1-3 and DK64, alongside banjo kazooie and conker's bad fur day
