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.

You’re Being Tortured In The Morning: Scenario 1
You have fallen into the hands of Zach Coine, a mad and powerful scientist. He informs you he is going to torture you tomorrow morning. Not surprisingly, you find this idea rather terrifying. However, Professor Coine has some sort of (barely functioning) conscience so he’s decided to tell you a number of things about what’s going to happen in the hope that you’ll be reassured about your fate.
All you’ve got to do here is each time you’re told something indicate whether you find it reassuring (i.e., whether it significantly reduces your fear levels). There are a few things you should bear in mind.
-
Everything that Professor Coine tells you is true: there’s no deception.
-
We’re only interested here in how you feel about the prospect of being tortured (i.e., whether you think you’re going to suffer as Coine lives out his Jack Bauer fantasy). So, for example, if you learn that Professor Coine is going to set you free, you shouldn’t claim not to be reassured about your fate on the grounds that something worse might happen to you as a result.
-
You should also cast aside any wider moral or humanitarian worries you have about torture. So, for example, no claiming you could never feel reassured while there’s an evil scientist roaming around free (even if you are worried he might end up torturing little kittens).
-
You should treat the things you’re told as being cumulative. At each stage, you should indicate whether you’re feeling reassured in light of everything you’ve been told, not just the latest piece of information. Remember, Coine is truthful, so you’ll be told nothing that is contradictory (basically, Coine is going to reveal more and more about what’s going to happen to you).
-
Yes, this is an online activity, so obviously you’re not actually going to be feeling fearful or reassured. So there’s this thing called an imagination…

i am firmly subscribed to the “shit happens” way of life where things are just sometimes things that happen and you could really just live with that without having a greater dilemma over it
You’re Being Tortured In The Morning: Scenario 1
Right, here we go. Remember, what we’re interested in here is whether you’re reassured in terms of your own fate at the hands of Professor Coine. So (again) resist any thoughts you might have about never being reassured while there’s a mad scientist on the loose. Also, you should bear in mind that you should only respond that you’re reassured if you are significantly less fearful of the prospect of being tortured.
Statement 1
Professor Coine tells you that when the time comes to torture you, he’ll ensure you have no memory of having been told in advance you were going to be tortured (it’ll be a surprise that the torture is about to occur).
Are you reassured by this information?
Yes, I’m reassured
No, I’m not reassured
reassured
