Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMonday during our walk we discussed the reality machine and how it would affect us and if we would even choose to be hooked up to it and under what circumstances. Most of the group would choose to be hooked up to it, but really only to get answers to their questions... Even so it would only be the answers that you perceive or the ones of another person (the creator of the machine). We talked about if actual reality would even have any effect or credibility to us. Looking forward to the study guides to be posted so I can start studying. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

Gil and I both walked around campus on Monday discussing lying and its moral correctness. We concluded that lying in a circumstance normally discussed, (lying to tell a murder a false place where a loved one is kept), is totally acceptable. Why? Because it's for the betterment of the human race.
