Back on topic (sort of)

Most philosophy is (sorry to be so bland) pointless. Take the Ship of Theseus for example. Who gives a shit when Theseus' boat stopped being Theseus' boat. Does it really matter?
Let's say that Jim has a car, and he allows you to make upgrades to it. Eventually, you switch out every piece to make it superior, including the body and the engine. Is it still Jim's car, or is it now yours since you bought all of the parts?

I know that isn't actually what the thought exercise is about, but I'm trying to make it relevant to MoxCo.
