You're Being Tortured In The Morning
There is no need for much of a preamble here, except to say this activity deals
with some of the issues thrown up by British philosopher, Bernard Williams's journal
article "The Self and the Future", which first appeared in The Philosophical
Review in April 1970.
The other thing to say is that you should read the instructions on the next page
quite carefully. You'll be able to complete the activity if you don't, but
the conclusions likely won't be valid.
Really Deep Thought
No arts, no letters, no society, and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

Thomas Hobbes.
