The Ship of Theseus: The Illusion of Self & Who Are You Really? | Sleep Philosophy Documentary

If every wooden plank of a legendary sailing ship is replaced across centuries, does it remain the original ship? And if every atom and cell in your biological body is continuously replaced across your lifetime, who is the person resting here tonight? Welcome to an immersive, deep-sleep philosophical journey exploring the Ship of Theseus, personal identity, and the greatest mystery of human consciousness. From classical Athens and Plutarch's ancient thought experiment to modern neuroscience, quantum mechanics, and Eastern philosophies of impermanence, this documentary invites your mind to gently surrender the illusion of a static ego and float into tranquil, restorative slumber.
