Lecture:
For the lecture we watched Blade Runner. A very popular film for what are ambiguous reasons to me. I didn't find it very entertaining at any point, however I got the message they were trying to get across. The idea of the distortion of one's perception of reality, primarily done with the idea of memory implants. Also, the big mystery of the movie were all the hints that they were dropping that Harrison Ford's character was himself a "replicant". It was an interesting device, but not done is a compelling enough way in my opinion.
Readings:
The question of what defines a human, and whether or not humans are capable of fulfilling these qualifications to their fullest extent, or if a non-human consciousness could achieve a better version of that humanity.
