Phil130: Fission Case!
Storyboard Text
- Hey Class, Today I will teach you about a fission case, 3 different views about fission, and the potential problems with each one!
- CLIVE!!!!!!
- Okay, a person named Clive is at school and accidentally eats a forbidden cherry that he was told not to eat. His body the proceeds to split apart his left half and right half!
- Clive's left half and right half are split apart, and an intrinsic duplicate of the right half instantaneously is attached to the original left half while an intrinsic duplicate of the left half is instantaneously attached to the original right half.
- Response #1: No one survives Fisson. Justification: Fission is too drastic of a change for a human to possible survive!
- What we want to say about Fission: Any one who undergoes fission actually survives the process. Justification: If a person survives Semi-Replacement, they can survive Fission.
- Response #2: Exactly one person survives as Lefty and as Righty, but not both Justification: Someone must survive, and since one person undergoes fission, one should survive.
- What we want to say about fission: It can't be that one but not the other survive fission. Justification: Someone must survive fission, but it can't be that only one survives fission as the same thing that happened to Lefty happened to Righty. So both survive.
- Last Fission Response: Exactly one person survives as Lefty and as Righty, and Lefty is identical to Righty. Justification: i) someone survives fission ii) same thing that happened to lefty happened to righty iii) exactly one person survives fission iv) Transivity of Identity
- Identical
- What we want to say: Lefty and Righty are numerically distinct. Justification: If Lefty commits murder, and we capture Righty, we wouldn't hold Righty responsible. (BLAME principle). Also, multi-location causes problems, how can you be at two places at once.
- Not Identical
