Question

Did you know? Robert Nozick imagined a machine that gives you any pleasant experience you want, forever, all feeling perfectly real. Almost nobody says they would plug in. That suggests we care about more than just feeling good — we want things to actually happen.

Accepted Answer

Robert Nozick imagined a machine that gives you any pleasant experience you want, forever, all feeling perfectly real. Almost nobody says they would plug in. That suggests we care about more than just feeling good — we want things to actually happen.

Robert Nozick stelde zich een machine voor die je voor altijd elke aangename ervaring kan geven, perfect echt voelend. Vrijwel niemand zegt dat hij zou inpluggen. Dat suggereert dat we méér waarderen dan alleen je goed voelen — we willen dat dingen ook écht gebeuren.
