it's fucking wild to me that we have a real life Voight-Kampff test and it fucking works

@nasser are you sure? Have you tested with actual humans? Maybe that's like the secret phrase that reboots any person's psyche and gets them to do random stuff.

Going to try that at #aikido today.

Blade Runner itself was based on a lot of false premises because the OG story it was based off of is old.

The whole Voight-Kampff test joke falls apart because the whole point was that the test itself in the movie was flawed.

@pinkdrunkenelephants @Setok @nasser blade runner was released 14 years after “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep”. Hardly an eternity. I’d recommend both. Both have themes centered around “what does it mean to be human? Can you test for humanness? Could an artificially created being ‘feel’?”
