The Philosophical Conundrum of Antique Clocks: When is a Clock No Longer Itself?

In the world of horology, antique clocks stand as both timekeeping devices and exquisite works of art, bearing witness to the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of bygone eras. Yet, beneath their exteriors lies a profound philosophical conundrum—one that questions the very essence of their identity. As we dive into the realm of antique clocks, we find ourselves pondering a perplexing thought…

Do you know what the ship of Thesesus is?

It’s a thought experiment that ask, if every part of a ship is replaced, is it the same ship?

I guess you could say I’m the ship..

Bright smiles, sparky eyes and some tears of pure happiness, that was a quick and accurate way to describe most weddings. Jacob’s and Queenie’s was not an exception to this. A small and intimate ceremony on the bakery, only family and friends attending, perfect for the couple union. While the bride and the groom, now wife and husband, were looking at each other with love-dove eyes, you and the rest of the guests were enjoying the sight.

“She looks beautiful today, even more that normally” You whispered to Theseus who was by your side leaning in the desserts table.

“I still believe you were prettier in your wedding” He replied a small grin playing on his lips.

“You are a charmer with words, Theseus Scamander” Your hands slowly moved to take two glasses of champagne, handing one of them to your companion.

“Only because you deserve it, darling” He took a quick sip of the pinkish beverage, which had been Queenie’s idea.

You would have scolded him for his smarmy antics if it wasn’t for your nosy friends who had been half-listening to your talk. Yeah, a small bakery was definitely not the best place to hold a private conversation. It wasn’t long until Mr and Mrs Kowalski came to your way with a mixture of curiosity and surprise.

“y/n you never told us you had been married, honey” Queenie sweet voice echoed in your ears. The realization hit you, you had been caught.

“Actually, I still am” Thesus couldn’t help but chuckle at your words.

“And who is the lucky man?” Jacob managed to speak while taking a bite from the nuptial cake “Do we know him?”

Theseus cheeks were starting to tint in a similar tone to his hair. You wondered how an auror like him, who has supposed to be calm and stern in every situation, couldn’t stop that grin from spreading on his face right now. Luckily for the two of you, Leta Lestrange, your best friend since your Hogwarts years (your guardian angel as you should call her from now on), appeared on the scene.

“What is the fuss for?” she joined the group and thanks to her endearing smile and her ability to put the focus on herself in every situation, you could enjoy a few seconds to think what would you say next. You were so relived thanks to her entry that you didn’t even get annoyed when she playfully stole your glass of champagne.

“y/n has just told us that she is married” The bride explained enthusiastically.

“Ohh…” Great, the last thing you needed right now was another person who couldn’t keep a secret to save her life. Surprisingly, she decided to play along. After all a little fun never hurt anyone “Of course she is, I was the bridesmaid”

“Leta…” You tried to interrupt her in order to finally reveal the truth.

“Wonderful!” Queenie clapped “So you can tell us more about that mysterious husband of hers”

“Yeah y/n, you never told us anything about him” Theseus took a sip of his drink and still he couldn’t hide his smirk.

Oh, he made a big mistake… Never play games with a girl who can play them better, Scamander. You should remind him that later.

“Well, he is the perfect gentleman. Sweet, chivalrous, caring…” You dreamingly looked at the celling “But also a little bossy, stubborn, touchy too. And he always overworks himself with his job to the point its annoying” Your audience was expectant to hear more about it. Theseus tried his best not to look slightly offended while Leta patted his back.

“But you love him, don’t you?” The older Scamander brother asked, his eyes shinning hopefully. One of the many things that made you fall for him since the first day.

“With every piece of my heart” Your gaze was locked in his.

That intimate moment which had somehow grown in a room full of people faded a wide the instance the door’s bell rang, announcing Tina’s and Newt’s arrival in the bakery. God knew what they had been talking about while the rest of you were enjoying the desserts.

“Guys, you will never guess what happened” Jacob said as soon as they came to his sight.

“Y/n is married!” Queenie announced as the sweet gossiper she was.

The young magizoologist’s eyes travelled back and forwards from yours and his brother’s face, clearly confused. The elder Goldstein sister just looked unaware, waiting for an explanation.

“Of course, she is” Newt finally broke the silence “I was the best man”

“You too?” Jacob said surprised “Are we the last ones to discover this?”

“I didn’t know until today either, Mr Kowalski. Although I have been having my suspicions since you two were students. You have never been good at hiding your feelings, Miss l/n”

Dumbledore laughed from the other side of the room where he was leaning on the wall absent-mindedly eating his piece of cake. A privileged position which he took advantage of to listen to the whole discussion.

“Or should I say Mrs Scamander now? Congrats anyway, thanks to your marriage Professor McGonagall owes me ten galleons now” Gasps of shock echoed between the bakery’s walls.

Your husband made himself comfortable, his hands now proudly around your waist in a gentle grip.

“Thanks Professor” he replied.

“When did you make it official if I can ask?”

“Just after he returned from the war. We wanted to keep it simple, Newt and Leta were the only guests” You softly squeezed your husbands hand.

“And when were you planning to tell us?”

“Jacob, sweetie, focus on what is important” His wife corrected him “Why didn’t you tell us?”

You two shrugged the question off. Being honest, you had never truly hidden your union, not intentionally at least. Theseus did not wear his ring on his finger, but in a necklace around his neck. Too afraid that he would lose it in a mission due to his work as an auror; so you decided to do the same. He didn’t keep the gesture of love low-key either. Always calling you pet names or protectively staying by your side. But it was true he did the same for Leta and his brother, and that kisses were always reserved for closed doors for unknown reasons. With those reasons, it was understandable that your friends hadn’t realized sooner you were in fact married. They just took you for an old friend duo. How wrong they were, but as no correction had been said before by either of you they were still ignorant of the fact.

As they say: “Actions speak louder than words” and that was exactly what your husband did. Arms tangled around your hip and lips that were leaning for a kiss which ended up in a resounding applause. In the next years you would receive endless teasing for it, but enjoying the moment you couldn’t care any less about it.

Phaedra

Phaedra is a princess of Crete and the wife of the Greek hero Theseus in Greek mythology. She is one of the main characters in Euripides' (c. 484-407 BCE) Greek tragedy Hippolytus, which recounts how her love for Thesesus' son Hippolytus came to a tragic end.

I love the how YTTD follows along the same delema of the Ship of Theseus.

For context, the ship of theses is a popular thought experiment about a hypothetical ship that thesesus. It's an old ship, so it slowly receives repaires and part replacements. One day they replace a floor board or mend a sail. And this continues until none of the original aspects of the ship remain.

The question it poses is this.

Is it the same ship as the one Theseus sailed? If not then when did it become a different ship. When none of its original components remain, or when teh first was replaced. Somewhere in between maybe?

What if someone collected all of the original components and rebuilt the ship. Would the reconstructed ship or the repaired ship be the original?

YTTD has several occasions where this comes into play.

In the room of lies reko is replaced. Like the ship, her original (and outdated) parts (old memories) are put together to make ¡not! Reko. Like the reconstructed ship she is made from a discontinued version of herself. And her claim to be the original is valid. When you save our reko you choose to save the reconstructed ship. You save tye most recent version of her, the one that's has healed and had time to repair itself.

In this way YTTD says that the repaired Verizon is still the original.

But then there's the banquet and the matter of the dummies.

In the dummies all but one part is replaced. Only their memories of who they are remain. Their bodies however are fundamentally unhuman. They are not physically the same being who was alive, but instead share their memories and consciousness.

In this case we pounder if we can call them human. And in the case of the game ,we don't. We acknowledge that they're alive, but at the end of the day they remain unhuman in nature.

Then the banquet happens. We learn that parts of people have been replaced with non biological parts. And that (as with the rest of the game) majority rules. YTTD determines that as soon as you are majority replaced parts, you are no longer the original being.

But this is not cut in stone. The dummies while not physically the same are mentally the same. They are mentally human. I doubt midori is counting their consciousness in their human or not equation. Weighing each part of the body against the non biological parts isn't the most fulfilling solution.

How we determine humanity within yttd is important to how we move throughout the game. Especially with how we view the characters.

I still don't know how to really feel about all of this. But it's fun to examine.

Note: I am going to post this on Tumblr and amino.

Guy gets into a relationship and changes so many different aspects of himself he's no longer the same person. The Relationship of Thesesus if you will.

[tapestryofmetaphors]

I love it when you say this-

"Your existence matters" It does matter like Ariadne's to Thesesu that helped him escape from labrynith, like Sohni Mahiwal's to Mirza to be together until their last breath in Chenab. It matters for those metaphors in my poems that vehemently remember you till eternity. It matters for those heartaches that keep me alive even if I am aware of my grief. It matters for that thought of you, which is more blissful than my breath when it passes through my head. You shall never leave my eyes now, you have painted the canvas of it through your presence.

Greek Mythology Idiots

For some reason all I thought of was like a bachelor parody but it's Greek heroes and the point is "Who is your champion?" And just standing there is this line-up of classic Greek Heroes.

Narrator: "Jason of Thessaly! He is a dethroned prince, he's bold, ready to prove himself, and thinks betraying his powerful witch wife will cause no problems!

Heracles! Coming up with strength and on his 3rd wife is Heracles! Don't ask what happened to the other 3!

Thesesus! The founder of Athens! This warrior is brave, clever and believes that stranding a woman on an island to die, is a-ok!

Pirithous! King, best friend of Thesesus and thinks that kidnapping Persephone was a smart goal! If you can pry him out of the chair that he is stuck to in Hades, he is yours for the rescuing!

Who will be your champion!?"

Artemis: "Yeah I'm just gonna go back my huntresses now."

[what-even-is-thiss]

I'm telling you the myth anyways.

So once upon a time in ancient Athens Theseus had a friend named Pirithous, who like 10% of mythological Greece was a child of Zeus. So Pirithous' wife dies and he decides to visit his friend Theseus. Once he gets there he finds out that his wife is ALSO dead. This is a drag, but it presents a unique opportunity. Finding a new wife.

So these absolute geniuses get scheming and Theseus decides the wife for him is Helen (of Troy fame) who was only 12 at the time. But Pirithous helps him kidnap her anyways.

Their brilliant plan to deal with her being 12 is to just keep her around until she's of legal marriage age. So that's... fun. (she gets rescued later)

But after that it's Pirithous' turn and his brilliant idea is to marry Persephone. You know. The queen of the dead.

So instead of thinking, Theseus decides to help him with this brilliant idea. They make the treacherous journey down to the underworld and once they get there, Hades is there.

Hades offers them a seat at the table. And, once again, alarm bells do not go off in their heads because they sit down on the bench and the second they sit down, their butts fuse to the stone bench and Hades sends the furies to torment them.

Several months later Heracles shows up on his quest to borrow Cerberus and comes across Theseus and Pirithous still stuck to the bench. So they catch him up on their situation and he decides to try and free them.

So Heracles pulls up Theseus first but his ass and part of his thighs are left behind. Other than that he's mostly fine though so he goes home, presumably to get some ointment. Then Heracles goes to free Pirithous but when he tries to lift him up the ground shakes and Heracles takes that as a sign that Pirithous is meant to stay there.

And for all we know, Pirithous is still sitting on that bench. Getting periodically bothered by the furies right next to Thesesus' disembodied butt and thigh meat.
