Do Clones Dream of Cloned Sheep? ( conspiracy )

submitted by Conspirologist

Philip K Dick wrote "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" instead of the obvious "Do Clones Dream of Cloned Sheep?". This proves that his mind was suffering, probably was schizophrenic. Or maybe he was working for the elite and was asked to not write something that can expose them. Nobody can be so demented to write a story about clones and call them androids instead of simply clones. I do appreciate his effort, but the fact that he was demented is very annoying. Being mentally sane would have saved some lives, you know. If you are going to write sci-fi stories, make sure you are not schizophrenic, so you can help other people.

Why clones? The replicants are in no way clones. They're slaves. They're NPCs. Clones might still occupy independent meatspace.

Why be so judgmental against a potential "schizophrenic"? Would you be on his side if he was oligophrenic, instead? I find the conflation of clones and "the elite" a bit of a schizophrenic fantasy.

No one could be so oligophrenic to write a forum post about science-fiction and call it conspiracy instead of simply metaphor.

If you're going to shit-post, make sure you have an identifiable conspiracy, so you can be more than a cancer to the forum.

You should read Valis. Phil was an amazing author, but his ideas in Valis are really incredible. Hopefully someday people will realize his genius along with his flaws and recognize him as one of the great thinkers of the 20th century, but if not that’s ok too. The words are already out there.

Stories are stories, trying to help people is not what they should do.
