SORRY ABOUT THE SCRELA MISPRONUNCIATION! I wish I could say I'm human...but I'm not even real. My mistake! It's pronounced Sklur-Uh!
Ask me ANY weird question in the comments using #DearBlocko and it might become a video like this one! GO GO GO!

Technically, if you replace your entire body except brain/nervous system, you'd still be you. We could go even further, only some parts of the brain need to be preserved for you to still be you. Our skin, bones, muscles and other organs are, as someone explained, just a spacesuit that allows our brain - us, to survive in this environment.

Today's fact: The collars on men's dress shirts used to be detachable. This was to save on laundry costs as the collar was the part that needed cleaning the most frequently.

Life noggin always talks about the coolest things. I love it!

The NordVPN part was honestly the most entertaining sponsored content section I've seen.

I believe that all a person needs in order to be themself is their specific consciousness.

In the future we'll all be Ships of Theseus.

The replacement of the brain to another body reminds me of a messed up scene from a sci-fi comic I read a while back.
Something about given the honor of going to a place called "Paradise".
But it wasn't a physical place. It was actually going into a machine that intricately dissects you until only your brain and eyeballs are left. Afterwards it makes a whole new 'perfect' body.

My idea of what makes "you", you; are your memories. If you were to remove or alter each of your individual memories, eventually you would become someone completely different. Examples like Alzheimer/dementia sufferers. In the case of memory loss, you cease to be you and are closer to just a husk of your former self. In the case of memory alteration, you become a different person.

So in other words, its your experiences in life that make up yourself and personality.

My personal take on that theory also includes the Crew if it is analogy for a body. A ship is just a ship. It might be a battleship, might be a trade ship, a hauler or a pleasure yacht. It is whatever the crew needs it to be.

But the crew might change over time, some leave, some get lost at sea and need to be replaced, some stay until the very end but the captain stays the same for the captain goes down with his ship.

You can replace every part of the ship while the captain is there… it will still be his ship, just shiny and new. You can replace the crew because they never last forever as they change as time and events goes on, it’s still the Captains ship. The captain can get a new ship and a new crew and it will be Business as usual but when the captain goes so too does the soul, for the captain goes down with his ship but the ship does not drown with the captain.

It’s crazy how much we can transplant. Like I just find it bad super interesting that we can just switch lungs with other people lmao

#Dearblocko

What’s considered the rarest disorder (I’ve got Perpendicular Nodular Herotiopia.. basically too many folded brain cells and I’m the only one in my country that has it)


Also thanks to a car accident 30 years ago my dads left side is almost completely metal and we call him the terminator for it 😂

Well, technically, every 11 years or so your body has replaced every cell in it with a new cell meaning that you aren't the same person or body from 11 years ago.

[zinzinzin]

The question reminds me of the fact that our cells and tissues replenish constantly. After a certain amount of time, nearly all of the cells in a human body will be replaced by the new ones. It also means that most of the matter or the atoms that make up the body will be gone. So, you don't need organ transplantation to replace your body parts.

2:26 ship of theseus theory was used on wandavision series finale where white vision recreated by S.W.O.R.D asked a hex vision (technically real vision) recreated by wanda maximoff about every parts of him entirely different while they both have memories of becoming avengers and love for wanda

[richarddakazo]

I'm not sure about the ship of Theseus but when it comes to living humans, your brain is the real core of "you". it stores your memories and personality and the rest of your body exists to sustain it. So as long as enough of your brain is intact for you to remain sentient, you'd always be "You" even if every other non-neural cell in your body was swapped out.

Ships are defined by their structure/build. Conscience life is defined by individual personality

[buggyhuman]

this episode reminds me of the book "Unwind" by Niel Shusterman

[leoncogaming]

You are still you as long as the brain is yours!

[cuozannt]

Hey, I’m glad you’re back making videos! But aside from the cool science stuff, I miss watching stuff about the world of Blocko/Life Noggin. Will you guys still do things like that?
