January 13th Blog - Oscar Rawson

Today was the 7th day of the Philosophy, World Constructions, and Online Gaming J term course. Early in the morning, we watched several episodes of the show The Good Place.


These episodes brought up several important philosophical questions, including the Trolley Problem. In the Afternoon portion of the class, this Trolley Problem was brought up again. We created and then presented slideshows about a specific philosopher or philosophical concept. Through one of these presentations, we learned that Philippa Foot was the person behind the Trolley Problem. 

We finished up the day by documenting our earlier response work. This work was done through Minecraft, which allowed us to create almost anything.

The Morning of January 15th

Image
     We started off our last day of the Philosophy, World building, and Online Gaming J-term with a warm up where everyone drew how they were feeling with their eyes closed and the other students had to guess what they were trying to depict. We then moved into minecraft to work on our final responses. We ultimately didn't get a chance to formally visit each person's response though many students built things related to or inspired by The Good Place and/or  The Social Dilemma. After the server suddenly crashed, we moved back onto zoom to begin our final seminar. The purpose of this seminar was to put together everything that we had touched on during this J-term. We discussed questions like, "When do simulations become real and how do we know when they go too far?" and, "How do we act differently in a virtual world/ simulation from how we act in the real world?"

Discussion and World Building (Afternoon 1/14)

Image
After lunch, we had a fascinating discussion about the social dilemma (10/10 would recommend). The social dilemma was a documentary about the recurring issues within social media platforms and “free” search engine platforms (stuff like Google). I’m not going to get into the details of this documentary too much, just because watching the actual documentary will explain it better. But basically, the creators and managers of various social platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Google, Instagram, and basically every platform) got together and confessed about marketing strategies and the ideology behind creating the “like” button and refreshing the page is essentially a slot machine. Our discussion was not only clarifying the ideas within the documentary but maki ng connections to all the other topics/philosophy theories/ movies we had encountered in these past nine days. I found myself connecting this documentary to the Good Place and Baudrillard’s theories. I think the social dilemma brought up ...

Smoke & Mirrors (Afternoon of 01/06/21)

     In the afternoon, our eccentric collective of gamers, philosophers, and architects brought all of these different aspects together. After leaving the simulation for a quick lunch break, we all reconvened to discuss the themes of The Matrix and how we could tie in yesterday's seminar about Plato's Allegory of the Cave into the plot of the movie. One of the most apparent connections that we discussed was the psychological parallel between the prisoners in the cave and those stuck in the Matrix. In both stories, the people are presented with a false reality and an option to see past the illusion which they have been led to believe. When presented with such an earth-shattering truth, the characters in both stories find it hard to accept that everything they believe in is a lie. If only Orpheus had been there to convince the prisoners in the cave to take the red pill. Maybe if they had been presented with the choice in such an exciting and tense way, they would've wanted ...
