Simulated reality

has the ability to tune into the conversations of their neighbors, unveiling matters that their neighbors preferred to keep private.

Choosing to utilize the radio in order to tune into the normally hidden matters of people's lives is equivalent to having taken the red pill over its blue counterpart. Having discovered the radio's abilities, the Westcotts reveled in their…

Robert Nozick’s argues that people would not be willing to plug into the experience machine because they would prefer to actually do the things that give them pleasure rather than to simply experience them. Nozick also believes that people, as individuals, choose to be a certain type of person; specific to them. Lastly, Nozick believes that people are deeply hard-wired to experience true human interaction. For these three reasons, Nozick believes people would not plug into the experience…

simulation theory, which is similar to the Brain-in-Vat theory. The simulation theory argues that all of life is a computer simulation, which would mean the keyboard I’m typing on is fake, my parents fake, your children fake. The world we live in is reality for us, but is it actually real. If the world was a simulation and there was a button in front of me that would end it, I would. It would be ignorant to know the truth and deliberately ignore it and allow the simulation to continue. Along…

Not only are there movies, there are also many texts that provide evidence about virtual reality. Texts such as The Matrix Simulation and the Postmodern Age by David Weberman. In this text,…

Matrix, Plato’s cave analogy, and Descartes’ reflections is that they question whether the reality experienced through the senses is definite and real, or if it is just an distortion of reality. The Matrix is a movie about a cyber “reality” where everyone is connected to a super computer and their virtual reality is simulated (“Synopsis: The Matrix,” n.d.), Plato’s cave analogy asks if what is thought to be reality could merely be shadows (Plato, n.d.), and Descartes (1641) reasoned that, since…

I remember a time where virtual reality didn 't exist and the most we had was 3D, a time when people drove themselves. A time where I taught myself how to rollerblade, and with a fearless attitude I felt the world was mine to conquer. The energetic and skirmish seven year old child in me was always coming up with new and better ways to defy the odds and break barriers. At the time, I lived in a small blue house located at the bottom of a slope on the corner of Texas Street and Madison Avenue in…
