With the example of the Turing Machine, the boundary between government institutions and scientific discovery is found in the mutual desire to put the Allied forces in a more advantageous position than those of the Axis Powers; in this instance, this mutual desire allowed for two seemingly…
Artists like August Coleman, Norman Keith Collins, and Lewis Alberts each played a key role in the development of tattoos from a simple trend to a more accepted style among everyday Americans. “Coleman was able to apply high quality work. His work was clear and well shaded. Consequently, his tattoo designs epitomized what came to be known as the classic American-style tattooing that…
Science fiction as a literary genre has come a long way from Verne's search for the center of the earth and Wells' travel through time in his time machine. Contemporary science fiction is more willing to challenge the limits of possibilities and more eager to push the boundaries of human imagination. More importantly, science fiction often acts as a precursor to scientific thought, and forebodes new research; projects such as Google Glass can be traced to similar ideas presented much earlier in…

people concerned about the machines becoming far too powerful. Michael R. LaChat affirms this concern in his article titled “Artificial Intelligence and Ethics: An Exercise in the Moral Imagination,” stating that we must be careful to not overstep our boundaries and most notably “Don’t play God.” This fear, while supported by pop culture media, is already being accounted for. Industry professionals like Google’s DeepMind, build internal reset buttons to account for if the machines go rogue and…

Three of the time travelers theories are the following, the Eloi are the sole descendants of humanity, or hybrid meaning everyone looks similar. Second the Eloi are a result of humanity making everything so simple, safe and easy that they have no need for military, violence, or competition making them week, lazy and stupid. Last he believes that the Morlocks were once slaves to the Eloi, being the “working class”, but took revenge on them and prey and terrorize them. All theories are developed…
In 1895, H.G. Wells wrote The Time Machine- a seemingly simple time-travelling adventure with much deeper undertones alluding to Wells’ view of the inequality within society at the time. Time and time again, the story refers to class oppression, some way or another. The overarching theme of the oppressive nature of class distinction in society is clearly shown through the societal origins of the Eloi and Morlocks, the actions of the Morlocks and Time Traveller, and the various titles of the…
This essay argues towards the conclusion that Robert Nozick’s ‘experience machine’ thought experiment does not successfully challenge hedonism as a theory of rational action. It will first explore the concept of hedonism and what would be required to mount a successful challenge to it. It will then outline the ‘experience machine’ thought experiment and assess the conclusions Nozick draws. Referring to epistemological objections raised by Woolard and Hewitt alongside methodological objections…
