What would the world be like without happiness? Would someone miss being happy if they never experienced it and if given a choice, would you change the happiness you chose? These are all questions Nozick intends to answer with his Direction of Happiness and his car. Nozick talks about emotions and how they affect our world. He also talks about how emotionless people tend to do better, so what would happen if we chose none of his choices. Would we be better off or worse off? This question will depend on whether or not Nozick's arguments are wrong; if they are, then it would make no sense to choose either. According to Nozick's experiments, happiness is not the only thing people consider when living their lives, because if it were only happiness they would be content with the small amount of happiness they get. If Nozick's arguments turned out to be wrong, then I would choose to reject both of them while creating my own choice about how I would like to experience my happiness. The first point Nozick makes is that happiness isn't the only thing people think about, it actually is. just part of it. He demonstrates this by considering two lives with the same amount of happiness in them. However, a continuous upward slope to increase happiness as time goes by, while the other life continuously slopes downward. The interesting thing about this experiment is that although you both have the same amount of happiness, how you achieve it will be the deciding factor. Despite the same amount of happiness, the first option is obviously the most desirable life. Both lives have their high points as well as their low points. For example, the ability to increase your happiness is an amazing theory, however you want… middle of paper… it refers to. The first experiment is a mathematical scenario that offers subjects the opportunity to choose whether to pursue a life that offers an increasing happiness slope or a decreasing happiness slope. He claims that people will choose life A because it is more promising and because they will have something to live for. His second experiment is the experience machine, which is a machine connected to oneself that transmits good virtual experiences that make one happy. The flaw is if this machine is always connected because otherwise happiness will not be continuous. In any case, both experiments had their ups and downs, however I decided it was best not to choose either experiment because both are somewhat depressing, which is why I chose to live an unexpected life with sporadic moments of happiness.
