Question

A thought experiment from this book can face status quo bias according to Joshua Greene, who made a variant in which you wake up in a white room in the year 2659. This book claims that “whatever arises from a just situation by just steps is itself just” in the section “How Liberty Upsets Patterns.” This book uses the example of pouring tomato juice into the sea (10[2])to critique the idea (10[1])that mixing one’s labor with land converts it to private property, which it calls the Lockean proviso. This book presents the experience machine and utility monster thought (-5[1])experiments and critiques distributive justice by imagining a society in which many people choose to spend (10[1])25 cents to watch Wilt Chamberlain. For 10 points, (10[1])name this libertarian response to John Rawls’s A Theory of Justice by Robert Nozick. ■END■ (10[1])
