Over the long August weekend, had the good fortune to watch this seemingly abstract but incredible movie called the 'Ship of Theseus'. The film has been critically acclaimed as one of the finest Indie Indian film ever made and it has won enough awards across the globe to justify the same. It is an educated, thinking man's film as against say a Salman/SRK cash-cowish movie which I am sure appeals to a much-much larger audience base and successfully ropes in the monies fueling the production of more such cash-cowish movies. I am not questioning the intelligence of people who pay to watch these films, perhaps the un-intelligence is what makes these films attractive, like the monotony of EDM music is what makes it appealing.
Anyway coming back to the movie and what it got me thinking on is this - If a company were to replace each and every employee with new employees would it still remain the same company, or if the replaced employees start a new company would it be the original company itself? If a company is more than just its name then what constitutes it? If it is people who create and imbibe so called company culture and philosophy then by apriori reasoning the new company formed by the old employees should indeed be the original company.
No? I welcome your views and counter-opinions.
