I'd say that they screenwriters were going for a movie that can be interpreted either way, as the would be more in the spirit of PKD.
Spielberg was probably more focussed on making sure that it worked well as a straightforward popcorn movie than keeping it ambiguous. But he probably tried to a little without compromising enjoyment.
I'm not really a fan of the idea that there's a singular interpretation. Collective creative projects usually end up as a bit of an interesting mess where things are unclear.

Not me personally, but I had friends walk out on Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. That one was legitimately terrible.
I'm a bit more selective up front and generally I can appreciate the cinematography if the rest of the movie isn't holding up.

Beans don't cause problems for me.
But once I looked up glycemic indices and tried replacing rice with pearl barley cooked in stock.
It was tasty but I have never experienced gas like that in my life. I could feel my entire rectum open to let it out. I spent the next day sitting in bed debating a trip to the ER.

I don't think that exists... Tooling is still at the point where you need to adapt your workflow for the tools available or build your own.
Everything will be a lot smoother if you can get a setup working with obsidian plugins or use claude code / codex on a git controlled directory.

It's not a big deal here.
Also it's probably less cerebral than I'm making it out to be. I'm reminded of how during Trump 1 he could suck the air out of the room by making things about him whenever he wasn't in the news.

So I'd argue that policy proposals like that are just a rhetorical technique. They aren't serious attempts at a solution.
They want to keep the public debate away from topics that could actually hurt them -- in this case that the hiring practices of prestigious schools are laughable and indefensible.
But Arday is a topic of public discussion. So they need to railroad the conversation by taking it in new directions that can't harm them.
The obvious flaws in the proposed law are a feature. It's difficult for people to hear about it and not immediately start explaining the problems with it.
Basically it's the "Nerd Sniping" XKCD comic.

Progressive academics paint themselves into a corner.
Smart black people certainly exist. However they usually have a few opinions about the black community or white liberals that are considered unacceptable.
So they ended up hiring a mentally ill con man who was good at not saying anything that would ruffle the wrong feathers. Then they gave him the star treatment because it's hard to find someone like that.
I think that everyone on that hiring committee needs to resign, but that's not going to happen.

So I'm still plugging away on my silly Minecraft project.
I integrated the Starlark scripting into the MCP. It works well and it solved the "too many tool calls" problem.
A couple of videos demoing stuff below. There's the Starlark service generating buildings and it also has a library of schematics tagged in elastic search.
Claude and Codex both mostly went with Starlark example files and things from the schematic library. One problem I have is that there's no rollback function so I can't tell it what it did wrong. It would have been a better demo if they had come up with some unique buildings, which they can do.
It does love to just paste in long identical surfaces. I'm wondering if I can do some sort of auto-greebling pass to make things more interesting.
The underground dungeon does mix things up a bit, I added some randomness to the dungeon example file.
