I just thought now that (Web3) blockchains such as Hive can't be affected by such "Ship of Theseus" paradox, as (witness) nodes simply place new blocks on top of the respective blockchain periodically. 🤓

Well that was a radical shift of topics, and since you dropped that with no previous conversation to give context, it would really be helpful for you to do so, because I'm really not sure at all to what you're referring. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I edited my previous comment to make it (much) easier to understand, mostly by removing the second sentence which would take me much more time and effort to explain !INDEED. 🤯
In other words, a blockchain is not code (which comprise apps and other software) which can be rewritten at will, but rather simply a set of blocks placed on top of the previous blocks. 🤓

OK, and so noted.
Well, it is code that can be rewritten at will, but it requires consensus for the changed code to be accepted across the network. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Perhaps you mean that even a blockchain can be rewritten (even up to the "genesis block") at the "collective will" of the Top Witnesses. 🤯🤓

I'm more referring to updating code moving forward, not backward. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I was referring to a blockchain itself on my previous comment, not the code for (witness) nodes that add new blocks on it or any dapp built on top of it. 🤯 That's what might have caused the confusion. 😅

It's good to know that we finally agree that the Theseus Paradox does not apply to blockchains (at least in general)! 😎

OK, I suppose so. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I wonder how interested you are about philosophy (in general), given that your Hive account's profile description shows that you are indeed engaged in such. 🧘♂️🤯🤓

Generally, quite a lot, though for me it's a more integral thing compared to the strict Greek definition. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

We can say that you are already philosophical even for the word "philosophy" itself !INDEED! 🤔🧘♂️🤯🤯😆🤓
!LOLZ
But of course, how could philosophy not be applied in equal measure to the word itself?!? 😁🙏💚✨🤙
