Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? — Empathy as Institutional Measurement
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick as a systems-level analysis of how institutionalized empathy measurement and technological mediation of emotion influence behavior, belief, and moral categorization.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than characters or plot events, the episode shows why this system persists — and how it connects to broader structures of bureaucratic authority, commodity signaling, and mediated identity.
