the original blade runner movie (1982) and its sequel (2049) are an adaptation to philip k. dicks literary works. ive never read his books, but it seems to be a criticism, or a revelation conceived by him that maybe he didnt thoroughly understood. he wrote that in 1968 and since such hellish future is closer to our reality than it ever were to him, maybe he perceived it more of an aesthetic in story format than anything else, such as an 'alert.' its weird how accurate he is because he has had an experience similar to jakob böhme. that does not bear any relation to his book that the movie franchise is based off, but it means he had an innate ability for seeing 'future images' or time-related clairvoyance
Quote:"On February 20, 1974, while recovering from the effects of sodium pentothal administered for the extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth, Dick received a home delivery of Darvon from a young woman. When he opened the door, he was struck by the dark-haired girl's beauty, and was especially drawn to her golden necklace. He asked her about its curious fish-shaped design. As she was leaving, she replied: "This is a sign used by the early Christians." Dick called the symbol the "vesicle pisces". This name seems to have been based on his conflation of two related symbols, the Christian ichthys symbol (two intersecting arcs delineating a fish in profile), which the woman was wearing, and the vesica piscis.
Dick recounted that as the sun glinted off the gold pendant, the reflection caused the generation of a "pink beam" of light that mesmerized him. He came to believe the beam imparted wisdom and clairvoyance, and also believed it to be intelligent. On one occasion, he was startled by a separate recurrence of the pink beam, which imparted the information that his infant son was ill. The Dicks rushed the child to the hospital, where the illness was confirmed by professional diagnosis.
After the woman's departure, Dick began experiencing strange hallucinations. Although initially attributing them to side effects from medication, he considered this explanation implausible after weeks of continued hallucination. He told Charles Platt: "I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane."
