Poll: Red or Blue Pill

[Random Argument Man]

Red pill, I don't want an Agent to take over my body.

EDIT:Also, the Matrix runs on Windows. It's even worst! (joke).

With other words I would take the red pill...

 

[samsprinkle]

Blue...I would rather be blissfully ignorant...

 

[Circus Ascendant]

Why would anyone want to leave the matrix?!

Why would anyone want to STAY in the Matrix?

Red pill. Absolutely no question whatsoever about it. No hesitation either. Red pill. I'd find my girlfriend and give her a red pill too. I am genuinely shocked by the amount of people here who'd take the blue pill.

I think that it's actually the red pill that keeps you in the matrix, he just fucked up the poll or something.

Also describe to me the difference between the matrix and the "real" world.

 

[Jumpman]

Id want to be in whichever world Carrie Anne Moss was in.

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Type IDKFA and laugh as I take a BFG to the matrix!

 

[Ace of Spades]

Blue Pill. I'm like the guy who killed Mouse. I wouldn't want to know about the crap going on in the real world.

 

[Seydaman]

Quicksave and take both at once.

well thats the obvious answer, but um blue?

No, the poll got fixed. Red Pill is the one that gets you out.

The difference between the Matrix and the real world?

In the real world you can be a hero. In the Matrix you are likely to be nothing. The Matrix is a lie, too.

 

[sorry user name taken.]

i'd like to be in a world with out repeats of ''friends''

[Foolish Mortal]

'Seek the truth', indeed. The truth is harsh and disturbing. I'm no superman. I can't live in a world of constant night where every single time I wake up I have to think 'today I might be killed'. I'm just an ordinary guy.

So, Blue. Here there's the potential for happiness, machine-controlled lie or not.

And anyway, if the machines really are harvesting us for energy, well... there's barely enough electricity in the human brain to power a lightbulb. So the joke's on the robots.

It's always been a belief of mine that everything exists in balance. Good and evil, up and down, ying and yang, black and white. For something to exist, there must be something to counteract it. That is just how the world was made, and this delicate balance is necessary for everything to function.

Stop thinking about it as freedom from the Matrix of being stuck in it. Think of it as a choice between being an ordinary person or being able to make the laws of physics themselves bow down to your very control.

With every great gift, though, there is a sacrifice. This is where the balance comes into play. At the cost of being able to break the rules of reality in one world your condemned to live and reside in another. A dark, dystopian world where your life is always in danger. You are never truly safe and never feel as such. Whenever your able to enter your former world, The Matrix, your never able to actually enjoy being there as you once were. Every time you enter that world you do so with a purpose. That place you used to love and live in becomes a war zone, nothing more.

That is the real choice. Either live in the world you do and be completely unremarkable or become a god within it but be exiled to another world where death could claim you at any instant. It's a normal life or extra-ordinary power. You can't have both.

If those are the two choices I would choose the red pill and would take the power to bring about change at the cost of losing everything else. It would be a heavy price to pay, but a worthwhile one to be able to create a better world for everyone that I know and love.

However, you're overlooking the fact that many who are released from the virtual world of the Matrix simply become citizens of Zion. Besides the main characters, I haven't seen many people entering the Matrix after they're released from it. There is a very slim chance that you'll get to hook yourself up to the matrix and do extraordinary feats.

Therefore your more likely choice would be to either live in comfortable "ignorance" or live a harsher lifestyle like the citizens of Zion do, while knowing the truth about your very existence.

Red: Learn the truth and sacrifice your comfort. (even if you don't gain powers)

Blue: Stay in comfort despite the truth

I don't know about that, in the movie those people that routinely entered The Matrix were referred to on at least one occasion I can remember as soldiers, implying that they enlisted to go back into The Matrix to fight the system. Either way this entire conversation and question is speculative at best, so it could be argued that may not even matter.

 

[L.B. Jeffries]

The Red Pill is a lie. You're always in the Matrix.

I thought that was going to be the plot twist at the end of Reloaded. Imagine my dismay when I discovered I was much more creative than the Wachowski brothers.

Hahaha, the moment the french guy started talking about causality it was like a train conductor announcing the Easter Bunny would be driving the train for the next two hours.

"And now, to prove my point, a cake that causes women to orgasm."

if it's a post Metrix-era where Neo has already defeated Smith and it's just minor 'viruses' that need dealing with then red pill definitely. if it's pre/during matrix era where the battle still wages, i'd still go red pill i just wouldn't last as long.

 

[Bofus Teefus]

I'd take the red pill out of pure curiosity. I'd do almost anything out of curiosity. This will get me hurt one of these days.

 

[TwistedEllipses]

Pill? There are no pills they are just illusions created by the matrix...

...oh and blue.

 

[Blank Verse]

I wouldn't take a pill.

Since I wouldn't be rebelling, the agents might give me a pat on the head.
