Are we even sure that Sisyphus can make it to either location? Because in order to reach a destination he must first make it to the halfway point, right? But to make it there, he's gotta make it to that point's halfway point, but before he gets there he need to....
Instead, let's aim for double the end location. Then all he has to do is travel half that distance
But he must first travel half the distance to that line, leaving us where we started.
It depends on whether Sisyphus has learned calculus.
I hear they only have pomegranates in hell. Neither calculus nor gravity for them!
Dosen't matters what you choose, given that for sisyphus to reach his destination first he have to reach half, then half of it, then half again and again making movement impossible.
Ah, so the answer must be no.
"Hołd my limes!" - said Sisyphus
Stands up and walks away
Why are these the passengers
I think that is how I would be if on a ship.without a computer, going insane.
... Millennial squats.
you can always add an empty room without changing the total number of rooms, so there should be plenty of room for sisyphus and his boulder at the hotel
He did it. He beat philosophy, this is the question that we've been searching for.
I can get him a room at the Hilbert Hotel, I know a guy.
I know infinite guys.
I know aleph-null guys. All in the same family. Parents were lazy and named all their kids after the positive integers. 42 is my best friend.
Dude stfu, that was supposed to be between us!
We won't know until we open the box...
Sisyphus is both happy and not happy, as long as we don’t ask. But the instant we ask, it’s one or the other
(surely someone already made this joke)
I feel really sorry for the cleaning crew at the hotel
If he goes to the hotel, though, he will get to hear a great story from the owner of the hotel about a once beautiful but now decaying resort that includes a sweeping adventure involving a not-exactly-straight con man, an art theft that was not a theft, Willem Dafoe, and Tilda Swinton.
Won't the boulder roll back to the intersection anyway?
When the math teacher does philosophy questions.

It depends on how much it costs to rent a room at the hotel. If it's exorbitantly high, then the hotel can just be knocked down it's no problem, you're only going to risk endangering rich people and so that's a victimless incident. The ship of Theseus on the other hand is most likely manned by ancient Greeks, who while not necessarily the best people by modern standards, are probably mostly poor or even slaves.
Right you are! So, how does this help us answer the question?
P.S. Sometimes I wonder how many people on here actually believe that human value is inversely proportional to wealth with no other factors. Repeat it enough times, even as a joke or hyperbole, and you start to believe it.
Sisyphus is rolling his boulder along a track toward the ship of theseus. It has had all its constituent parts removed and replaced and reconstructed along an alternate track. You may pull a lever and divert Sisyphus toward the reconstructed ship. How big of a dick would that make you toward the shipmaker?
Isn't there a version of this with like 5 intersecting thought experiments?
I hate them all.
Not quite what you asked for but here: https://xkcd.com/1531/
He can't go to the hotel because infinite cannot divided by zero, which is his boulder
The real question is.... will it take him more than a day to reach either one?
Hell is other people
Someone's read Sartre's Huis Clos ( ´◡‿ゝ◡`)
Decent game. 4/5
theseus can eat shit so fuck that nerd.
death to america
Na, I am pretty sure that sysiphus sees tracks that are only the result of a shwadow play in a cave and you have to exit the cave to truly experience reality
