Red pill or blue pill?

Comment author: [deleted] 14 May 2011 09:59:02PM 2 points [-]

I'm somewhat depressed that that counts as a Wikipedia page, while hundreds of computer science and other nerdy-but-difficult-to-cite things get deleted.

(Faith in Wikipedia)--.

Is there anyone on this site who'd be willing to say "blue pill?"

I think I remember some posters being in favor of wireheading.

Is there anyone on this site who'd be willing to say "blue pill?"

Sure, given the right circumstances.

Or yellow pill?

What's the difference between the red and yellow pills?

Comment author: RichardKennaway 17 May 2011 06:36:33AM 0 points [-]

The red pill works by magic, and the yellow pill by science, but apart from that, they do similar things. Just pointing out a historical antecedent of the idea.
