This paper examines the philosophical implications of Nozick’s thought
experiment, specifically focusing on the assumption that most people would not
want to be plugged into the experience machine. I present an “inverted” experience
machine scenario in order to argue that this assumption is incorrect and that
the scenario raises important philosophical questions about our purported unwillingness
to be plugged in. The paper concludes that the “inverted” experience
machine scenario is compatible with the central thesis of hedonism and other
internalist theories of well-being, and provides strong support for the idea that
happiness is truly in the head.
