I was wondering if it was ever explicitly or even implicitly mentioned that Iran, Rick's wife, was a Mercerism believer? I know for

Iran Deckard is Rick's wife. She is the most consistently empathetic character in the novel. She is able to allow herself to go into a depression and sadness with others over the state of humanity and is able to find the empathy necessary to care for an electric toad at the end of the novel.Mercerists follow two major tenets: (1) be empathic to the individual, and (2) work for the good of the community. (Sounds pretty solid to us.) It seems like Iran would be interested in this even though she discusses artificially regulating her emotions.
