    The Ship of Theseus: How A Thought Experiment Creates Endless Story Potential

    How much can you remove from something before you change its nature? Bradston and Devonte’ dissect the philosophical Ship of Theseus concept and their personal perspectives.  The rest of the episode is filled with scintillating story ideas that explore how we understand and attempt to manipulate the nature of identity and consciousness. Thinking caps required for this one! Ship of Theseus: a philosophical thought experiment that asks whether an object remains fundamentally the same after all of its original components have been replaced over time. It challenges our understanding of identity by questioning if "sameness" is defined by the specific material a thing is made of or by its continuous form and structure.   Website: https://themeanticspodcast.podbean.com/ Email: ThemeAnticsPod@gmail.com Blog: https://medium.com/@themeanticspodcast Linktree: https://linktr.ee/ThemeAnticsPodcast

Bradston and Devonte’ discuss a few examples of how stories have used biblical narrative in distinct ways. Afterwards, the guys workshop creative ideas for telling different types of stories that center characters and themes from scripture in a way that is accessible to anyone, regardless of religion.   Website: https://themeanticspodcast.podbean.com/ Email: ThemeAnticsPod@gmail.com Blog: https://medium.com/@themeanticspodcast Linktree: https://linktr.ee/ThemeAnticsPodcast
