This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher, Robert Nozick's book Anarchy, State, and Utopia
Specifically it examines his discussion of the "Experience Machine", in which Nozick proposes a thought experiment involving a machine that would allow a person to have any experiences they choose, for an entire lifetime if they wish. He also brings up the possibility of other machines, including a Transformation Machine and a Results Machine. The key question is whether a person would use these machines or not - and why.
