They took the blue pill.
redpill/bluepill is a metaphor.
the concept of either living in a bubble or seeing reality for what it is, is one of the most profound philosophical matters.
Obviously they succumbed to mental illness. Stop asking stupid questions.
>>79382549
After literally creating the term "Redpill"?
>>79382625
So they chose to live in the bubble? Is Cypher their self-insert?
>>79382491
It's from a P. K. Dick novel you idiot
The term redpill (or bluepill) is NOT from the Matrix.
Holy shit those two dudes make ugly bitches.

>create a powerful metaphor
>metaphor gets used by endless amounts of groups and societies to push their own agendas, from christians to MRAs to feminists to gun owners
>"hey guys how come these guys don't follow our agenda since they made the metaphor we use???"
I dunno dumbass.
How you tried thinking first?

where did it come from then if not the scene in the Matrix where Morpheus offers him the two pills? Keep in mind it has to be before Easter 1999 since that's when Matrix first dropped.
>>79382680
also there's no PK Dick novel with the term Redpill

>Implying that the analogy originates from the matrix
>implying that the analogy is wrong because the people who made a version of it are now mentally ill
>>79382841
it originated from Douglas Hofstadter's 1979 book Gödel, Escher, Bach in the form of red and blue (although it was a phial in his book)
There's also the analogy of the rabbit hole in Alice in wonderland.
It's all the same concept, just different words.
>>79382999
Damn, I actually read Hofstadter's book and didn't realize he used it there. But yeah the rabbit hole part is obv from Wonderland they even state it.
