For those who don’t know, the ship of theseus is a thought experiment and paradox, it has many different ways of being told but this is my personal favorite.

One day, Theseus looked to his apprentice and told him that the day he could Theseus a question he could not answer, he would become a captain.

The apprentice pondered for a moment, eventually he noticed one of the boards of the ship being replaced, and he kept it.

The years went by, even turning into decades, and eventually every board on the ship was replaced, and he used the ones he had collected over that time and re constructed his captain’s ship with the boards.

He then looked at Theseus and asked him which was his ship.

Its one of my favorite thought experiments and I’m curious what y’all’s opinion on it is.

I have never thought about this now, but how would a were-creature eat?

Shifting to a smaller creature and eating would leave the human extremely under fed, meanwhile shifting into a larger creature and eating could leave the human dead.

Further more, how would a person manage nutritional requirements between two different species, considering something like an elephant requiring a potentially fatal amount of nutrients for humans just to remain functional.

How are these beings walking around without constantly killing themselves?

This might be a dumb question, but replaying the second game in preparation for finally playing 3, i noticed the flag on Gaz’s uniform.

I thought the entire point of 141 was to work without a flag so they could get shit done without having to worry about regular rules of engagement, it’s why Laswel called them outlaws in the outro to the first game, so what’s the point of tying them to a country?

For those who don’t know, the Bechdel test is a literary test that requires three points.

Do you have more then one women character?

Do they talk?

Do they talk about something other then men?

I’ve seen a lot of discourse on it, even participated in it myself, but I’m curious what the broader opinion of it is, as I’ve heard everything from it was a joke to it’s the gold standard that every author should make sure their story follows.
