solved In the principles that reflect hedonism and wanting to pursue
In the principles that reflect hedonism and wanting to pursue an object with the hopes of itbeing able to provide the happiness that each individual desires, I would choose not to plug into themachine. The machine, theoretically built in order to produce the same outcome of what happensin real life but through a machine, is something that brings intrigue and curiosity when firstintroduced but for me, I think actually experiencing these things in the real world gives it muchmore authenticity and experience than just being plugged into the machine. For me, the pursuit ofactual happiness means living the life that we so rightfully deserve and want for ourselves and Ithink this can only be done by actually going out in the real world and getting to experience all thethings that life has to offer. With the experience machine, we would be able to do the same thing aswell as produce the same outcome but would the feeling actually still remain the same? Would plugging into the machine help us gain the real life experiences and happiness that we want toachieve? With the emerging technology today, it can be hard for many people to avoid theaddiction towards new tools and gadgets such as a virtual or augmented reality which holds thesame principles as the experience machine and for me, these gadgets that aim to give off the sameexperience that it does in the real world does not satisfy my lust for the authentic life experiencesthat help me learn and actually experience the real world. I would not choose to plug in becausethis kind of concept, although only theoretical, is something that I think for me is a challenge ofwhether or not I would choose to actually experience life by itself and actually learn through thetough times and challenges, or just live it all through being plugged into a machine. I choose to be brave and pursue the happiness that I deserve by actually experiencing what life has to offer through real and authentic experiences.1)For this assignment, I’d like you to re-write the essay you wrote on hedonism in Week 2 – the experience machine. But I’d like you to focus on making it clearer and simpler, using the technique of writing as though your audience is a 12-year old. The changes don’t have to be major – just revise in a way that you think improves the clarity of the writing.I will attach the handout on hedonism, so you can understand the essay. You can find the experience machine on the 3rd page, section B
