Wow, your thesis sounds intriguing! Mereological nihilism is such a mind-bending topic. It’s like arguing whether the pieces of a puzzle are more “real” than the completed picture. I bet diving into that must’ve led to some fascinating discussions. Have you found any new perspectives or related ideas since then? Personally, I love how these debates make us question what we take for granted. Plus, imagining a ship that never was feels kind of like stepping into a philosophical detective novel, right? Would love to hear more about what conclusions you came to!
