The synths in Bladerunner think of themselves as angels. They quote Blake. Fiery the angels fell; deep thunder rolled around their shores; burning with the fires of Orc.
What’s that supposed to mean?
They’re fallen angels – that’s how they see themselves.
Who are the real angels? Do they believe in angels?
I thought synths weren’t supposed to feel anything.
The four year life-span is a failsafe to stop the synths experiencing emotions. If they lived any longer, they’d develop, like, emotional lives.
What sort of emotions might they feel?
Your memories could be fake. Your philosophy – maybe it was implanted in you .
How? By who?
See the real plan is to replace humans altogether. That’s why the synths look so much like us.
Did you ever do one of those tests on yourself?
You might be the first of a new kind – the philosophical synth.
So might you.
You’re the synth culmination of Organisational Management.
I’m not in the business. I am the business.
