Do which would be your choice if in the same situation like Neo. Continue as you were or learning "the secret".
Red pills are for those who wants to escape the reality of the world we are living in.
And it would be a good lesson for them too - cause they would wake up with a huge pain in their ass, and a little note next to them on the pilow: "Grow up son! P.S. Check for STDs. Morhpeus"
EDIT:
I see freedom as an ability to having your wish/dream fulfilled. And I can hardly imagine anyone wishing to wake up in a rusty, smelly prison cell of a ship, surrounded by complete strangers, being subjected to a list of rules and laws you had no influence on, taking strict military war-time orders from people you never new before, risking your life in a war against robots, and if you miraculously survive, having to rebuild a new society, while obviously meeting the same problems in the process, that we had for thousands of years.
A fucking nightmare if you ask me.
How is that different from dropping everything you have, families, friends, possessions and taking a one way ticket to Syria?.. That is the sort of freedom we are talking about in Matrix.
Red pill, always. Value my personal freedom too much to allow them control my body and affect my brain. Blue pill people should be executed as traitors so they can't keep powering machine cluster anymore.
I'd rather live by the laws of the universe than live within artificial confines defined by the powers that be that first and foremost serve their best interests while living a lie in doing so. After all is perceived happiness, true happiness?
Smith was an awesome char in the Matrix.
The "Smith is the One" theory is the best.

Yet you sit in a brick house, staring in a screen, working a job that enriches someone else, and most probably not feeling very happy. ( I don't know you of course, but you can't argue that it's the reality of most people in a free society )
For a film that's trying to mind-fuck you over 'what is reality'
At the time i'm sure it was awesome and i remember having my mind blownMatrix never blew my mind because it lacks this level of artistically constructed and consistent weirdness you can only find in Serial Experiments Lain

Gotta be real wary of the drug drug. Heard it could fuck you up real good if you ain't too careful.
Self-pity is just ego-fortification through self-victimization.
Limiting yourself by adopting one of many stances that excuses fear of taking the initiative as some pure philosophical insight bullshit.
There are many examples, such as:
"I'm too good for this world, therefore I will always fail in this cruel world, so there's no point in trying."
"I'm worthless, and good for nothing, therefore I will do nothing."
"Reality is against me, FUCK THE WORLD! I'll do nothing!"
"Meh cba to live, I'll settle for surviving for now."
"I need the next high, sober-reality sucks because it doesn't give me what I earned by just enduring it etc."
Self-reinforcing negative thought patterns are an ego trip, the ego just wants ALL your attention and if you feed it negativity it will soon demand more, insatiable as it is.
they take pride in giving up about a 9-5 life
they often overdo it and can't even get the easiest things done, but procrastinate forever and waste their own potential.
Else, we have a lot of red-pilled NEETs and housewives whose critical reasoning won't ever make a difference because of their positions.
Mental disorder. Some sort of attention deficit due to severe chronic depression. If they show manic episodes, then it's bipolar disorder. If not, general apathy due to underlying illness. Straightforward folks who don't buy into medical bullshit will call those people lazy and beat up working habits into them. Simple times, best times.Make it an illness, give it a name, and you have an excuse not to change. But why would you need to, when you can just buy the alleged medication some clever guy has just started marketing. Extra score if the person who made up the illness is the same who sells the medication. Other than that, it's actually arbitrary how the ill get our sympathy and the criminals aren't given another chance. Erewhon by Samuel Butler (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erewhon) pictures a world where this perspective is flipped around. Interesting to imagine that. Most mental illnesses arise from nurturing bad habits, and can be cured by making the exact opposite your new habit. Not unlike criminal tendencies. Messed up priorities between short-term versus long-term rewards.
Who gives a rats ass about critical thinking? Even rulers of our reality value passion over mental masturbation. Everybody I've ever met, including university professors downright hate other smartasses other than themselves. Critical thinking is not a privilege, it's indulging in pleasure. Professors get to do it in front of others because they earned that right through hard work.Rule of thumb: The smarter the person, the less of a smartass they are.
So what's your point Mr.Freud?.. Are you taking red or blue?
Did you know that behind the smart-ass attitude is an insecure person that hides behind the know-it-all facade.Yeah, that much is certain. The smartass' "wow I'm so red-pilled" attitude is a mere symptom of the inability to cope with the challenges of the "blue-pilled" life.
Blue pill for me (presuming I know it's not roofies and I'll get rapes anyways), it's simple, I don't trust people period especially the ones with all the answers, it's an ultimate escape tool for ones that have nothing to lose and only hope to gain some sort of meaning and purpose.
What are the terms, do I have to trust you 100% percent, fuck that. Not knowing will I ever see my loved ones fuck that again, Neo fits perfectly, ultimate loser who actually doesn't care if red pill kills him, shady black dude rapes him or he becomes "the chosen one", so fuck it let's do it anything's better than my current state, atleast something will finally happen.
I'd argue it's usually the blue pill prescribers that act like they have all the answers. Systems that prescribe blue pills to an extent attempt to define your existence and more loosely your purpose for you, they limit your choices and potential making it easier for you to adopt a path in life even if that path doesn't truly bring you happiness and only serves to propagate their own system regadless of how immoral, corrupt and artificial it really is. Being told how to live and why you live by those who act like they have all the answers but don't really have all the answers is in my view simply living a lie.

Only thing I'm missing from cRPG is that Ukrainian former boxer who used to leech on DTV. Hopefully he's still alive and kicking. Really decent fellow, one of the few from this community whom I wouldn't slit throat and drink from their skulls.
This discussion reminds me of that guy. He's like virtual Tyler Durden who isn't actually me. What do we do about spoilers 'round here?
Second sentence is my way of showing appreciation. It is okay when Arnie does it in Conan, but when my old friendshma does same on melee forums then it is clear sign of mental illness. This place is more virtual than set of that wonderful movie. There are no big boobed groupies waiting for me in the trailer.
Arnie is a bad Conan, there's about as much killer instinct in him as a wet towel. The sword is a prop for his poses, nothing more. New Conan is much better in that regard.

Theoretical physicists work hard to find theory of everything. What if there is no such thing? That drawing boundaries is important and there is no "one hats fits all" theory?
vive, humans don't want to be exploited by artificial organism they created. If you go with machines you're massive bundle of sticks and we'll rape every opening on your body.
is there any way to mute the forum posts of certain people?

Anyone else's life changed because of this subreddit?
Either way I get a Pikachu, not much of a dilemma.
Just had a quick look at it, and it seems to be something about men trying to explain why they can't get laid, and how it's women's fault. :)Nonsense, the people there actually get laid plenty with the techniques therein.
Rather pathetic to be honest... It just really feels like getting ready for a fight by reading a book about fighting, written by some one who really sucks at fighting.
But if it helps someone - who am i to judge?..
Would rather have a growlithe really..

in case we're living in simulation, I'm more advanced simulation than both of them because I don't seem so obviously robotic.You said what to me, mortal?

Elon Musk thinks we all live in a video game. So what if we do? (http://www.vox.com/2016/6/3/11837888/simulation-problem)
Mister Musk, I think you might be onto something here. Still find it hard to swallow that Xant and Kafein are real people and not bots... in case we're living in simulation, I'm more advanced simulation than both of them because I don't seem so obviously robotic. Or at least that's what I tell myself. Another reason for that could due to nasty bugs in my main program...
Do you think we're just code running on alien computers and nothing else?
I want to see a movie where all the characters are played by Nicolas Cage.like that?http://imgur.com/a/tum01 (http://imgur.com/a/tum01)
I dunno I think this whole idea of us living in some kind of simulation is so completely irrelevant and uninteresting. If we do, it doesn't change anything. In fact it would be a very simple solution to life, the universe and everything. We are currently approaching the technological possibilities to build complex simulations so it is a very obvious notion to think we are living in one. Seems much simpler and less interesting to me than what some religions have come up with in the past.
Such is the nature of the universe. Infinite spiral, two in correlation with each other at any section you take for reference, interweaving. There is no higher plane, higher universe or "reality" that hosts our simulation. They go on forever and only way to observe it is to stop for a moment. Otherwise it just endlessly flows inside out.
We'll probably find scientific model to become too rigid and deterministic. Probability is the key, we can't be sure of anything because there is no such thing. Yes, you can put some boundaries and find that your formula works but go past them and again it doesn't work. That is the problem with physics. We believe, just because it works on subset scale of the universe there must be a way to "fix" it, to expand it to work for all cases. There probably isn't.
The world being a computer simulation seems like a temporary idea. 500 years ago people had their theories which we laugh at now.
What theories we laugh at now?Ridiculous stuff like gigantic ass monsters beyond the sea, or that the Earth is flat and carried by a big guy. These things seemed sensible because of lack of knowledge and technology, same as today's theories of brains connected to a gigantic ass computer. Seems theoretically possible with today's knowledge, just like the sea monsters back then, but nobody has seen neither the monsters, nor Big Boy Computer.
500 years ago we lacked the engineering tools to actually test most of the ridiculous theories that got overturned later. These existed not because we were confident they were true, but because we tried to make sense of the world without the adequate tools to confront our models with reality. Or sometimes because of politics. There are plenty of examples of that now too, yet hardly a significant part of our knowledge is even moderately likely to be overturned. The ancients knew the properties of fauna and flora in their environment without understanding the chemistry and biology involved. Their knowledge was never overturned by later discoveries but merely put in context. Much in the same way, we know how to put satellites in orbit. Even formidable discoveries in physics can't change that.Practical stuff, yes. Past people's practical knowledge wasn't false, it was mostly incomplete, but so is ours, and so will be future people's. But when it comes to theories about life and spiritual stuff, our theories are no more correct than the past or future people's. On a bigger scale of time, computer brains will turn out to be just a fad, something that appeared because people discovered a new bit of technology, and created a world theory out of excitement.
There are multiple ways how to do things and they aren't equally good. For example, there is a hole in the brick wall. You have oval shaped brick in your hand. After many attempts to put it in rectangular hole, you'll eventually mold it in desirable shape and force it into wall. Or you could be smart and pick the brick of right shape and size, just slide it in the opening.But no brick will be perfect in shape and size like my dick :^), you can come infinitely close to perfection, but there will always be a tiny bit missing. Same with world theories.

Either way, you can't see through the wall now.You must transcend into a higher plane of computering. Then you won't even need to see beyond the wall. You will do as you lust without trespassing from the square.

You can't see through the wall because you're looking at it.
How can I be looking at a wall, if my eyes aren't real.Your eyes are irrelevant because you see the wall with the wall itself. To see past the wall means to remove it, but since you put that oval brick in there, there's not much to grab at.
