In 2003, the San Francisco Chronicles adapted the Voight‑Kampff test from Blade Runner. The fictional empathy test used to spot replicants. They gave a version of it to real mayoral candidates that were running for mayor that year. The whole thing was framed as a tongue‑in‑cheek experiment in empathy, but the results were brutal. At least half of the candidates were judged to have “failed” and were playfully labeled as replicants rather than human. The questions were designed in the spirit of Blade Runner, probing emotional reactions, moral instincts, and empathy under pressure. Instead of a dry policy quiz, it tried to reveal how these would‑be leaders responded on a human level, not just how polished they sounded on camera. The kicker is that the now governor of California Gavin Newsom was one of the ones tagged as a likely “replicant,” suggesting that his answers didn’t hit the empathy notes the test was looking for. Now me personally I think Gavin Newsom is a sociopath because if you know anything about sociopaths, Gavin Newsom pretty much fits that bill to a “T”. Also he has the number one job that most sociopath take in life which is a politician, but that’s just my opinion personally! Side note: the most common jobs that sociopaths take are in no particular order - Doctor - Police Officer - Teacher - Therapist - Psychologists - Lawyer - Politician
