Nozick's Experience Machine and Hedonism

Hedonism is a lifestyle that is rooted in human experience and consciousness, and there are things that are fun and unpleasant. A moral egoist will say that a person should maximize his or her happy conscious state to live the best life. Act Utilitarian, on the other hand, points out that these comfortable awareness states need to be maximized by a single person in order to maximize maximum behavior. On the surface, this seems to be a good way of life. As Nogic says through his example of an experienced machine, living as a hedonistic life can be harmful.

There are many thought experiments in hedonism. Among many things, one of the interesting experiments I found is The Experience Machine. "Experience Machine" created by philosopher Robert Nozick in his works "Anarchy", "Country" and "Utopia" is a beautiful thinking experiment for the world of virtual reality. The Experience Machine is a scene that Nogic seeks to imagine a machine that can give people an ideal and enjoyable experience. This experiment is based on the premise that humans have found a way to stimulate the human brain and induce a fun experience that can not be distinguished from reality. Then he asked if he / she likes the machine better than the reality machine, if there is a choice?

The citation that it is the widest, but not the only cause, of intrinsic value is based on Robert Nozick's empirical mechanical thinking experiment. Nozick's Experience Mechanical thinking experiments are aimed not only to show that our experience is important to us but also to show that life is really important to us. As this discussion is highly convincing, almost all books on ethics discuss hedonism and only use this argument or this argument to reject it. In thinking experiments, Nozick asked us to imagine that we could choose to insert a perfect machine that offers perfect various experiences. Importantly, this machine can provide these experiences, and once inserted in the machine, no one can say that their experience is not true. If you do not consider the responsibilities to others and the problems that occur when everyone inserts, will you insert a machine for life?
