Been watching TV again!
This one was a design programme - and a couple of 'scientists pointed out we like symetry because the human face is symetrical.
An aside was, 'the most satisfying sort of column is a caryatid': Empathy.
Loud church bells, explosions and fireworks.
The difference between the android and the human is empathy.
But, the android is a personification - what is personification but empathy?
Is there a delicious paradox at the heart of, 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep'?
Are we attracted to the android because we empathise with its humanness: But, it is its lack of empathy that stops it from being human.
