Semaglutide has reignited the debate over who is responsible for weight, and how as a society we tackle it
Suppose there were such a thing as an “experience machine”, a contraption you could plug yourself into and live any life you wanted? Would you plug in? Or imagine we invented a type of zombie, a monster that looks, behaves and responds exactly like us but has no inner experiences? Would this creature have consciousness?
Or how about this. Suppose there were a magical injection that fat people could take to become thin, no effort required. Should we make it widely available?
