Tossup

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. (-5[1])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 (10[1])tomato juice (10[1]-5[1])into the sea (10[3])to critique the idea (10[1])that mixing (10[1])one’s labor (10[1])with land converts it to private (10[1])property, which it calls the Lockean proviso. This (10[1])book presents the experience machine and (10[1])utility monster thought (-5[1])experiments (10[1])and critiques distributive (10[1])justice by imagining a society in which many people (-5[1])choose to spend (10[1])25 cents (10[1])to watch Wilt Chamberlain. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1])name this libertarian response to John Rawls’s A Theory of Justice (10[1])by Robert Nozick. ■END■ (10[4]0[3])
