to conduct a "thought experiment"

One way that we think about this difference is to conduct a “thought experiment” in which we imagine that we have certain “inner” experiences, but outwardly things are quite different.  One such thought experiment is provided by the philosopher Robert Nozick in his description of the “experience machine”.  After reading about that in the instructor guidance, consider the following questions:

Would Aristotle consider someone hooked into the experience machine truly happy? Explain why or why not.

If you had the chance to be permanently hooked up to the experience machine, would you do it? 

Explain your choice. You may include such details as the kind of “experience” you would have them program if you were to choose to hook up, and why you would or would not consider that worthwhile as a permanent "experience". Or you may discuss what your choice says about what ultimately matters in human life, the difference (if you think there is one) between feeling happy and actually being happy, and so on.

Finally, based on what you said so far, do you think that people can be wrong about happiness? Does your answer align with Aristotle's view of happiness? Why or why not? Discuss with your peers how their answers to these questions might align or conflict with Aristotle's account, as well as how those compare to more popular notions that people have about happiness in today's society.
