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” (-5[1])in the section “How Liberty Upsets Patterns.” (10[1])This book uses the example of pouring tomato juice into the sea to critique the idea that mixing (10[1])one’s labor with land converts it to private property, which it calls the Lockean proviso. This book presents the experience machine and (10[1])utility monster thought experiments and critiques distributive justice by imagining a (-5[1])society in which many people choose (-5[1])to (-5[1])spend 25 (0[6])cents to watch Wilt Chamberlain. For 10 points, name this libertarian response to John Rawls’s A Theory of Justice by Robert Nozick. ■END■ (10[1])
