Free births without free discussion of experiences and information within the group- what could go wrong?

There might be some deliriant that produces altered states of mind, such that a patient with no MDMA/psychedelic experience could be blinded. That could also potentially work for t…

It only makes sense for Deckard to be a replicant — something that Roy would know, and choose not to tell. Maybe I should have recognized this earlier, but I really like this point…

I am 100% for decriminalization, but understand it's not a black and white issue. I don't disagree with your point, at the same time there's a part of me that thinks, "You can't ou…
