Red. Maybe I can stop my mom from being terrible. Also Bitcoin. Also holo first edition Charizard! Also I wanna be in the Fallador massacre on RuneScape! Also I’ll get Internet famous!
400 iq play is getting to the red pill multiple times and then taking the blue pill once you’re satisfied with your path. Catch me on NG+10 taking the blue pill
Taking the red pill doesn’t guarantee you’d end up with the same opportunity. If I knew I would be able to return to the same moment where I could take the pill again I’d obviously do that, but probability is slim.
There’s no way you could follow the same path. There are too many narrow chances. I would start again just for the chance to not fuck up my health for 40 years. I feel like the cost would be many of my friends
Let’s say I was 40, no fucking way would I reset and reset and reset.
I assume that you have to reach the same age you first got the pills at. So just 3 resets would be 160 years (+ around 40 more if you stop resetting and die at the average age of death in western countries)
Personally that sounds like torture. Sure groundhog day was fun the first few times but 160 years? No thanks.
Taking the red pill operates under the assumption that you’ll actually survive to this point in your life again. Maybe you were one second away from dying in a car accident at several points, and taking that red pill will lead to a series of events that causes your death.
If you look at the usa, less than 0.5% of children die between the ages of 6 and 18. The least likely age for you to die is 8-9 years old, and from about 12 and up the death chance increases pretty rapidly. A 30 year old is already about twice as likely to die as a 19 year old…
so for most people this won’t apply. If you survived abusive or negligent parents though, maybe it’s different
Depending on how old you are there are so many investments that get you far over that 10 mil, but yes healthcare is a really valid point for taking the blue pill
By the same logic, you might be seconds away from dying if you take the blue pill, I don’t think that’s a great argument alone. It’s more a trade of time, letting you try to fix any regrets, relive the frivolous times, and buying yourself extra time, at the cost of having to go through dependent days again.
Does it increase your chance of dying before you can enjoy your reward? Sure.
Does it also increase the amount of time you get to enjoy it, on average? I’d imagine yes.
Let’s go relive that childhood trauma! It sure would be interesting trying to raise my parents into functional adults at that age. I wonder if they’d give me an exorcism?
Over the holidays, I had a good back and forth with the maintainer of a project that I started using. The documentation needed updating and created a PR.
Then I went almost 10 comment rounds on why it was necessary, why I wrote it the way I did, and all this bullshit.
I just left it saying “merge it or whatever. I’m moving on.”
