You’re alive right now… at least I’m pretty sure you are. But you’re not TOTALLY alive. Bits of you are always breaking down, being thrown out, and being replaced. Even right now, parts of you are dying. Some of your cells even died before you were born. And some will never come back. These are all very strange, mildly uncomfortable things to think about. And what’s even stranger than that is a big fraction of your body is, was, and will never be alive. So how much of you is dead?

"Honey, you're not the same person I met twelve years ago" takes on a whole new meaning in this context.

And yet here you are

@@DelLego I said 'literally" as a joke. The video says a part of me is always dying. Hence, the statement which I commented is technically correct. It signifies two

I’ve worked a lot with trees and they operate in similar ways to the human body. The core of a tree’s trunk is dead heartwood, giving it structural support and the outer bark is a dead outer shell protecting its internal organs. The tree also sheds dead or dying materials such as leaves and branches.
So fascinating. Great video :)

From my research, how often body parts are completely replaced:
Cornea: 24 hours
Stomach / Intestines: 2 - 9 days
Taste Buds: 10 Days
Skin: 2 - 4 weeks
Eyebrows / Eyelashes: 6 - 8 weeks
Red Blood Cells: 4 months
Liver: 5 months
Fingernail: 6 months
Toenail: 10 months
Lung: 1 year
Hair: 2 - 7 years
Bones: 10 years
Muscles: 15 years
Fat Cells: 25 years
Heart: 3 - 4 times over lifetime
Eye Lens: Lifetime
Eye: Lifetime
Brain: Lifetime
Then based on your research, well over 80 to 90 percent of each of us has been replaced already.

@@megamillionfreak Just barely alive
okie here is a thing.. technically speaking sun does ticks out few criteria of being alive.. it uses energy, it has a complex structure it has a temperature which regulates and to some extent on can say it even reproduces because after it will die the the new elements will be used up to create more stuff in the universe..... Personally i don`t consider scientific criteria because you will generally hit a fuzzy area if you try to progress like this where things will seem alive and dead at same time... i believe it would be better if one just says whatever moves than it is alive... if you look like this than there isn`t anything that isn`t moving... so everything is alive and you don`t hit a point where you see dead chemicals creating life..
The sun is not alive, no star is alive the fact people are even considering this proves how slow humanity really has become
Weirder is "how much of you isn't you". At least 65% of the cells in/on our bodies are microbes and other tiny life-forms. All indications are that plants and animals were formed/evolved by microbial life to be their host organisms.

If you think about it; our body is a dystopia, every cell fights for us to live and breath even if it costs their life, and cancer are the ones who realize it's a dystopia
I see it more like a naturalistic ecosystem, our cells are just like raccoons and possum, they do what they were designed, evolved to do, eat, excrete, procreate, die
Our bodies are super complex forests, we're the parts interact and in the grand scheme of things contribute to the whole
It's a dystopia to contribute for the community that keeps you alive?
Yeah how interesting isn't it
@@joroc well it all depends how much you anthromorphise your cells. Are they akin to slaves, indentured servants, wild animals, fungi on a forest floor, etc. Each commenter has their own metaphor which changes the moral evaluation when they “step back and think about it”.

Hey, thanks i always had this question in mind
Nice pfp bro
To solve the Theseus Paradox: It's whatever you consider the original thing, that's the original, our entire perception of who is who, and what is what is made of bias and considerations.
and our perception is our reality. and our brain controls our perception.
To me living beings and inanimate objects are different. I say the ship becomes new when there is more new parts than the original ship. Than it's just a replica. For living beings your cells make new ones and such. Buts that's a process that happens with in your own body. If you pop your arm off and replace it with someone else's it's not your original arm. The arm now belongs to you. But it wasn't yours you replaced it from an outside source. Now if say the ship regenerated itself I'd say it'd the same ship.
people get mad at me when I say learning is biasing.
@@XWierdThingsHappenX "living beings and inanimate objects are different" no, they aren't. living beings are "inanimate" objects with some behavior.
there's no such a thing as inanimate in this universe, there's movement everywhere, everything is changing. Living things are just a kind of changing behavior with feedback that keeps looping and repeating itself.
Its more like a spectrum between living and "dead".
Who say rocks aren't alive in the millions of years scale, we can't see them changing because we live for so little time.
@@XWierdThingsHappenX this is such a binary thinking... worth of computers, not humans
"I say the ship becomes new when there is more new parts than the original ship."
Parts don't matter, what matters is the abstract structure, that's why you could replace all the parts and still have that ship.
50% of parts replaced is such an arbitrary number...
This western foundation of thinking, this essentialism and immutable "purity".
Yet, people believe in souls... go figure
What's a soul if not the abstract mathematical structure of a thing, that's what defines it, not the real parts.
Complex things have no essential formula, they are complex dynamic systems, you can't reduce complexity. Damn reductionism , that is, bullshit. You have to study things on the proper level of complexity, you switch between levels, you never try to break things into smaller things.
That only works for computers and mathematics, not for complex dynamic systems, which living things are. The total is always greater than sum of the parts in complex systems.
That's what leads people to hopelessly try to separate things into categories like "life" and "inanimate", when actually both are the same thing, the categories are made up, they are arbitrary, such binary reductionism leads to no understanding. Life is made of chemistry which is made of "inanimate" matter.
But chemistry is much dynamic, just go see some things exploding, that's chemistry, life is controlled explosion that keeps burning. Even wonder why we consume oxygen ? its because we are slowly burning things, that's what mitochondria does.
You only need a self-fulfilling chemical reaction to evolve over time to create life. Life is not different from any other chemical reaction, except in complexity, its much more complex, has much more abstraction layers on top of each other, each of it giving birth to new complex irreducible behavior on top of the previous layer, but its just chemistry on the bottom, not a different "magical" thing.
The magic is the universal complexity.
Yet, no part of it could evolve individually by chance, that's when people make the error.
But still, if it starts very simple, it evolves in irreducible complexity from the very "beginning", if you can call a begin.
Was it when the planet was formed ? when it cooled down, or its already the result of the complex chemical reactions of that big ball of matter that formed earth cooling down, where's the beginning of the reaction ? was it when the Sun exploded for the first time in its nuclear reaction from space dust ? perhaps...
Chemistry only needs gradients in thermodynamics to work...
That's the only thing it needs, and that was created in the first milliseconds of the Universe, it all goes back to the singularity. Everything is like the same thing, its pure energy ! That's the soul of the Universe.
Universe itself is alive in is uttermost complexity.
I wasn't even thinking about and now I am. Thank you.
I like how alot of the best youtubers come out with videos containing similar topics at same time but there own personal spin.
Vsauce just tackled this aswell
I like to think that no matter how many parts of something gets replaced as long as the concept of the original exists.
Like a memory of how that something once was. Even if it's functionally a replica of the original, i'd still call it the original since it technically doesn't make a difference.
To take that one step further. If a perfect clone was created of a specific person and the original person was killed off, is the clone still the same person? Technically yes, but emotionally i might still treat the clone differently😂
@@bobikoart but you're qualia would decease due the break in consciousness continous
Very thought provoking episode - Great job, Joe!
I never realized that blood cells were missing so much of what other cells typically have! That's pretty amazing to think about, that they might not actually be considered cells because they are missing so much!!! - I always love the content of these videos!! :D
A blood 'cell' is a misnomer. you'd have to read up about why it's called a cell when the biological understanding is something that has a nucleus, which a blood 'cell' does not - the correct word for a 'blood cell' is a erythrocyte.
It's a nonkaryotic cell.
So much change in my wife & I over the past 26 years, & we never noticed!!
Hope nobody's going through an existential crisis after that! Great video joe/team!!!
I guess this is part of why we look so different when we age. It's like making a copy of a copy of a copy, on and on until it's all distorted.

You never cease to suprise.
actually, this video gives me a new appreciation for the work that my cells do, independent of "me", to keep me alive. 🌻

"Youre dead on the inside right now" In more than one way Joe

"Because you are dying inside!" literally changes the meaning of both paragraphs.
I've been comparing humanity to an organism for some time and here it also makes sense: people die and give birth and no humans alive two hundred years ago aren't alive right now, so are we the same humanity???
Yeah. Humanity and, in general, the nature are like a one big living organism

Your video supports my view: life is a near-death experience, for one's life contains one's death as a viable, intrinsic component.
11:50 Pfft at my age my body is a more like an apartment building in some crime-ridden ghetto. No tatoos so at least it's graffiti-free.
Ok so before I watch another awesome video here, I had a thought once that aside from perhaps the brain, geez this can also go back to your “when is now?” video… highly recommended… but that yes your bodies cells divide, grow, die, and are replaced, though it doesn’t happen at one time, it’s my thought that after long enough, the being that made up you in the past, no longer exists, as after long enough every bit has died off and been replaced into your current being… but anyways let’s watch and see if that’s where you’re going with this…
In the immortal words of Philip J. Fry - "Thanks to denial, I'm immortal!"
Regarding the ships, the knife, the stack: It's by definition what we define it as. If we say "That ship is the ship of theseus" then it's that until we say "nah, it's not that anymore as we changed too much around"
I believe the question is getting at where we should draw the line. At what point should we start calling it smth else?
I think the key to the Ship of Theseus to me is the line between maintenance and rebuilding.
If every year the ship operates I need to rip off a few planks that have rotted and replace them, most people would agree that the ship has continuity and it hasn’t really changed even after years and every bit being replaced.
But if the ship sunk and then a year later just the bow washed up on some shore and I rebuilt the rest of the ship, it would seem more that I’ve built something new, using a small bit of something older. Some people might say, well… there’s still a continuity, but most people would also think it reasonable that upon completing this rebuild I give this ship a new name, and that it would have something of a new identity. Still tied to the old one, but nonetheless distinct.
I think it’s sort of, as long as the action of replacing only affects a minority of the whole at any one time, it’s fine.
That's the whole point of the thought experiment, though. You aren't really making an argument, it just kills the whole line of thinking. If everything is as we define it, then philosophy and debate is pointless and why the hell are you even commenting?
The whole thing boils down to the question, where is the boundary between thinking it's just being maintained and when does it become new? Where should our definition draw the line?
Please stop thinking you are edgy, cool or helping any debate/thought experiment ever with this kind of logic. It's similiar to the religious filling in stuff they don't know with god. It just kills the discussion and serves no real purpose. Everyone capable of this level of critical thought understands how language works.
@@BD-yl5mh it really depends on the view of the persons involved. If more then half the people interacting with the object call it by a specific name (and it has no way of disputing that or naming itself) then that's more or less the name.
Philosophy seems to try to think about something more then it needs to to come to a conclusion. Sure we could define "The ship isn't the ship of theseus anymore if 51% are changed out by new/other material" but in the end it's the people who still call it "the ship of theseus" who give it that specific identity until enough people change it to a different identity. (I'm not saying if enough people call a rock a bird that now it should'Ve be able to fly and chirp, what I'm saying is if enough people call a rock a bird then the name changes, nothing else)
@@DarthObscurity What's the purpose of arguing about the name of something? Because it's really only that if we only argue about the identity of something. The identity is that of which enough (most) people give to an object
(a person can normally try and articulate their identity and we should accept that one, even if we don't agree)
What I'm saying is: in the real world we more or less just give something an identity until enough people change their mind/call it something else. Almost noone in the real world argues about how much changed of something especially if they don't even know how much changed (or don't care) just to give it an identity.
What I'm saying is: I'm me and my name is Quintar for as long as I (and others) are willing to call me Quintar. No matter of how many parts of myself I change will change that fact until I decide to change my identity/name.

Commenting for the algorithm, because this channel deserves it :")
Whenever someone tattoos a part of his/her body, if the ink is not part of the body, then why doesn’t the tattoos go away along with the dead cells? You would think that the tattoos would disappear with the dead cells within a 100 days of putting them on. However, I still have the tattoos on the very same place where they were put on 12 years ago. Is it possible that whenever a foreign object, such as ink, is incorporated with the skin that that foreign object becomes an integral part of the cells? If so, then how exactly is that possible?
I think it is because the ink is deep into the skin, so it doesn’t get shed away.
The ink just cant/doesnt get absorbed and at the same time its deep enough that it doesnt get washed off ,thats it,the tatto doesnt get like intracellular or something for it to disappear with skin , It just exist there
I don't completely remember the full answer but the ink is needled into deeper skin layers, and causes an immune response which kinda holds the ink in place as your body cannot just break it down (immediately).
That's an artistic, imaginative way of destroying cellular replacement. When our skin is scaley, it is a visual of dead cells being replaced by new cells. Soap that is an emolient helps remove the dead cells.
Sir Terry Pratchett (in the book Thud, I think) brought this question up years ago. It's worth the philosophical energy expended. Change is a constant.
You can never step in the same river twice because it isn't the same river the second time you step in it is one of the greatest existential arguments humans have ever stated. Causality is Empress is how I think of it. We are governed by entropy and rejuvenation and those things are governed by causality. Causality may be programmed or it may be randomly occurring but, as it is another way of discussing change, _the_ absolute universal constant. If one studies biology and human physiology, one learns the things you're sharing but, I think, are often forgotten because, well, causality.
Wow, that was really interesting!
"Part of you is dead"
Me: *I know*
Lol
When viewed from this perspective life becomes a much more rare and precious thing...like little flickering flames of growth in the darkness
Everything has a core element to it that, once replaced, changes the old into the new. For a ship its the keel, for an ideology it its core tenants, and for a person its your brain. We are still us even though we replace ourselves because the brain is never replaced.
I am a set of behaviors and experiences. Just like how my body is a formation of physical traits that even when its parts are replaced, still grows to resemble is the same body.

True. They use anaerobic glycolysis to metabolize sugar. It's inefficient, but it doesn't use up any of the oxygen they carry.

Well all of our hair is already dead, alive hairs appear in the scalp and once they grow out of it their dead, you might notice why the strands of our keeps growing longer each month its because the scalp makes it grow it produces keratin, even our nails nails are also dead, so hair and nails are similar.
