Pollock's gas chamber, philosophy: is a thought experiment by J.L. Pollock. A toxic green gas is introduced from time to time into a closed test setup. For protection, a sign is attached which is visible through a window in the door "Do not enter if this sign discolors to green”. If there is a lot of gas, however, the sign is no longer visible. For this reason, a monitor is attached to the outside in connection with a camera inside. This monitor is unfortunately only in black and white ... Variant) a green colored color monitor is brought by the caretaker in accordance with its black and white memory of the sign. (See W. Poundstone, “Labyrinths of Reason”, 1988).
