There is No Captain Kirk: A Theory of Universal Lack of Personal Identity

Without Kirk Captain: There is more than one way to explain the second case provided to us in the theory of lack of general personal identity. Generally, the Captain Kirks of Scenario 2 is either the same or different. We know that everything can only be numerically identical to itself, so we also know that the two kirks are numerically or completely different. So, the question we leave is how the two Kirk people are the same and how they are different.

The most obvious and simple answer to the question of identity is materialistic. A person is simply the sum of his or her total chemical composition. A mountain of atoms arranged in some way constitutes the whole of Captain Kirk. As long as this special atomic arrangement is maintained, Kirk keeps using Kirk throughout the launch. The disadvantage of this answer that is often said is that the human body is a constantly changing machine. Within five years, your cells may now look different, your atoms may be replaced by other atoms, different concentrations and binding patterns. Even if your chemical reaction changes, it will definitely not change your identity. Ship is a well-known thought experiment that solves this problem.

Especially since children discovered the original Star Trek in the MeTV network in the 1960's, we are talking about the universe now. In addition, according to our daughter, Captain Kirk is so cute that thinking about our own humanity is a focus of our recent research, especially in the United States and around the world And think about the concept of the world. Lack of consideration Last week, we saw an episode called Arena. There, the federal outpost was destroyed by some alien invaders. Captain Kirk was angry and ordered the crew to overtake a foreign ship and prepare to destroy all ships on board. Suddenly, I noticed the spaceship (and the alien space ship) being trapped in more sophisticated civilization which dislikes violence. Advanced civilization, along with the captain of another ship, took captain Kirk to the surface of the planet.
