(From Nozick's "Experiment Machine" in his book, "Anarchy, State and Utopia".)
Suppose there were an experience machine that would give you any experience you desired. Superduper neuropsychologists could stimulate your brain so that you would think and feel you were writing a great novel, or making a friend, or reading an interesting book. All the time you would be floating in a tank, with electrodes attached to your brain. Should you plug into this machine for life, preprogramming your life experiences?...Of course, while in the tank you won't know that you're there; you'll think that it's all actually happening...
Would you plug in?

| I prefer the Sword Art Online interpretation with the Nerve Gear as opposed to sitting in a tank, stuck full of needles and whatnot, but yes, I probably would. |

But you don't know you're in a tank.
