The Nozick’s experience machine
Contrary to other philosophers who oppose equating happiness with a pleasant experience, Robert Nozick came up with an experience machine that measures the idea of joy requiring pleasure. This is termed as a thought experiment where people can plug into machines and produce pleasure experience.
Nozick’s assumption portrays that as much as the intuition is empirical work, this is not universally shared as many philosophers are not supporting this idea. Considering more scenarios in Nozick’s experiment and taking other options like pills, all agree with the machine experience machine. The less intuition a person tends to accept the concept, the more likely the reality is, which means more people will readily take the prediction and the experiment.
Nozick’s machine experience brought many discussions in the philosophical world; the experience machine thought experiment led to authenticity intuition, the proof that people tend to value living their present lives in contact with the so-called reality. The idea was put in to experiment considering the various outcomes in the intuition experiment; the primary key remains on the self and the degree to accept the whole circumstances.
Nozick’s thought experiment was drafted to refute ethical hedonism; hedonism prompted that some matters need human pleasure. As put forth by hedonism, the only goal is to maximize satisfaction, Nozick suggested that if this notion is true, then everyone is ready to try the machine experience. He then indicated that not everybody would tend to accept the experiment, and this proves that there are rather things that human beings value more than their pleasure.
