21. The Experience Machine

A wonderful thought experiment (suggested by the philosopher Robert Nozick) involves an experience machine, which perfectly simulates ("on the inside") all the best possible experiences. Would you want to live your life hooked up to such a machine? Is life on such a machine perfect?--or is it missing something?

I watched the video, was moved. Had a number of inspiring ideas. went to the comments to see what other people thought of this. nothing there. youtube lol

Maybe... you ought to share those ideas, so that people in a similar situation as you were in, would've had something interesting and inspiring to read ;)
