Would You Step Into The Happiness Box?

This is an exert from - "The Big Questions" - by R. Solomon


Here's the question:


[We have developed a machine, a box with some electrodes and a life-support system, which we call the "happiness box". If you get in the box, you will experience a powerfully pleasant sensation which will continue indefinitely with just enough variation to keep you from getting used to it. We invite you to try it. If you decide to do so, you can get out of the box at any time you want to; but perhaps we should tell you that no one, once they have gotten into the happiness box, has ever wanted to get out of it. After 10 hours or so, we hook the life-support system, and the people spend their lifetimes there. Of course, they never do anything else, so their bodies tend to resemble half-filled water beds after a few years because of the lack of exercise. But that never bothers them either. Now it's your decision: would you like to step into the happiness box? Why or why not?]

One interesting question is a reverse example. You find out one day that your whole life has been generated by a happiness box. You now have the choice of shutting off the box and stepping out, or continuing to live your life. Which do you choose, and why?
