Reflections on Blade Runner
As you watch the movie, take notes of points or ideas that you personally find important for the story or significant for the future progress of artificial life technology. From these, select three big ideas related to themes in R.U.R. to explore in this journal entry.
Idea example: “It is moral to give artificial life a limited, short time span.” Your discussion would address the implications of this “design decision” for humanity and for the artificial life itself in the context of the lives of the Robots in R.U.R. (You could discuss topics such as the dangers and the benefits to humanity and the happiness of artificial life, among other possibilities.)
