Saud always has fascinating insights on things that seem normal daily. When we talk about the superpower he wishes to have, he said he wanted to make a save doc for every moment he experienced. I love his presentation, where his activities with audiences are so creative. I have never evaluated the value of my experience because I think it is unique and unquantifiable. His speech really gave me some thoughts about my own experience, whether it is valuable or not.
This possibility seems very dystopian. The idea that something as precious as personal experiences can have a price and be bought seems like something that just shouldn't exist. I loved your take on it and how you made an argument out of a non-traditional topic.
Dude I love your presentation! You introduced a clever yet accessible concept that helped us all understand thoroughly. Then you provided many examples for us to discuss and analyze. The whole presentation had a great atmosphere - it was relaxed while also making me think deeply.
Saud’s idea of the auction is very intriguing. It makes us consider people’s willingness to obtain certain experiences. Nevertheless, legalizing the purchasing of experiences might lead to a social disorder. For instance, someone might want to experience the feeling of committing crimes. With this technology, they could pay for people to actually commit crimes just to get the experience. Many similar events might happen as well, turning people’s rational decisions into pure trade.
I think this topic is interesting from a legal viewpoint. After hearing the discussion on black market, I wonder what if someone take this technology to do something illegal, for example sexual assault to children, and selling these experience to people. Then does the people who buy these experiences also responsible for the same crime/charge? Some might say those people did not actually do anything but only re-living those acts in their heads. Or if both the sellers and buyers are guilty, how do we decide the sentence and the degree of the crime? How do we draw the line on this technology on laws and regulations?
This might be a stretch, but would the ability to sell and share experiences end up causing a similar market to the illegal drug market? It seems to me that illicit drugs and recorded experiences are quite similar in the sense that they both give a user a (usually) positive experience. As such, would you think it would have further legal considerations alongside the ethical ones you presented?
After thinking on a socio-economic level, I wondered if this would make life even more unequal and increase the divide between socio-economic classes as rich people would be able to buy better experiences.
