If not, what would make it just?● Is it possible for any dweller in Westworld to know that they are not themselves a host? Hosts are programmed to be unaware that they are hosts, and hosts do seem to have become conscious.● Is Westworld a dystopia or a utopia?

And if not, is it morally wrong merely to imagine doing immoral acts?● Can Westworld overcome the Chinese Room objection, and move from weak AI to strong AI?● How can we tell whether a host or any
