    I'm trying to think of other artists who I *know* can draw ants...

    I know who can't draw ants.. Dali. Terrible ants.

    MC Escher is good though.

    Did he ever draw any ants?

    This is easy: Jerry Pinkney

    Because I know he can draw ants and I'd want to have ants in the portrait. Also, he's work just blows me away.

    Oh. Well that would explain a lot.

    It's odd how there was a fixation on the cup, but that makes more sense.

    Yeah we're already on that one already.

    Listen. Let's say I wrote a fan fiction where I describe a romance that isn't in the cannon, but then someone rewrites it so that one of the two people in the relationship is different, then another person rewrites it so that the other one is also different and now the relationship *is* cannon.

    Is it still a ship?

    Everyone does idolatry. That's kind of my second point. Or at least I think almost everyone will do something that *someone else* could call "idolatry" -- Though I think I can explain why it's not irrational.

    At the same time, I thought that the unimportantance of particular material artifacts was part of the big point Jesus was making.

    But I often badly misunderstand Bible stories. Or that is what I'm told.

    I do have a connection to sailboats as it happens.

    But I tend to care most that they are in working order and that the rest of the crew can cover the things I can't do.

    And boats are replaced "all at once" when they can't be saved. People often given them the same name, and end up thinking of it as the same as more time passes?

    I'd destroy one and keep going. Decide I had the original for absolutely no rational reason.

    In fact I take the radical position that the more people repair and replace part of the ship... the MORE it's "The Ship of Theseus" because of that investment of time and of defining what it is.

    If it were buried in the sand and perfectly preserved but forgotten? Then it might just be "a ship" with no name.

    The ship isn't as upsetting. Because people cared about it and repaired it so it's still there.

    I don't know about any energy. But I think knowing the original is gone, or that someone else has it, or it's destroyed makes me sad. It's a little stab of grief because I don't think anyone else would understand why these little bits of junk matter.

    And maybe they don't understand and that's also sad.

    Having the same object represents a struggle to keep an object ... it represents people caring.

    Consider some objects that are precious that you'd never throw away.

    A gift of jewelry from a friend or lover. A special drawing by a child. A poem written by hand by someone who passed away.

    If that object were replaced with an *identical* copy would you feel loss? Knowing that you had a perfect copy? But not the original.

    I want to say "no I would not care" but this is a big fat lie I think.

    And why is it just the cup? No one cares about the holy plate? The holy table? The holy olive oil bottle? (they had olive oil to go on the bread I'd think)

    I mean in a way all of those things could also be relics. And maybe they are?

    Many things are relics. Like famous paintings and limited edition sneaker drops.

    An identical replacement with a different history is still "fake."

    Jesus does this thing where he says "take some of this bread, it's my body"
    "take this wine it's my blood"

    Taking common humble objects and ascribing greater significance. (Or saying they transform if you like)

    It's *odd* that everyone gets obsessed with the *particular* cup used on this occasion. (But long after the fact.)

    Kind of feels like it is missing the point? Couldn't ANY cup be the holy grail? Just like ANY bread can be the body of Christ.

    The lego cat is on a shelf. This is the *third* time I've noticed that one of the ears has been ... removed and tossed on the ground.

    But, I have not seen who has done this.
