While we're on the subject of the Matrix... what happens if you take both pills?
The story continues. You wake up in Wonderland and believe how deep the rabbit hole goes.
One of them will be digested slightly earlier than the other. That one takes effect.
You're still trans now
Just… closeted? You know the other world’s there, but you don’t live there.
Oh god how can I undigest a pill 😭 repressing was a mistake. Take the red pill mfers I don't care what decision in your life you're facing take the red pill. Self-honesty, truth, discovery, rigteousness. Don't be a coward 😮💨
You do understand that, within the context of the film, the pills aren't anything special right?
The movie goes to great pains explaining the notion of experience versus reality within the context of 'The Matrix'. As such we know that there is literally no pill; they do not exist. I guess it can be thought of as a 'sudo' for the trace program? Either way, I don't believe anything is actually being initiated from or by the pill as we understand things. The operator is the one actually executing the program. Why would the operator choose to run a trace program and put someone to sleep? Just because Neo could potentially decide to take both pills?
Robot 1: hey why did the server crash and what happened to all the humans. Other robot 2: eh looking at the error console it seems one of the humans ingested to contradictory virus pills causing a feedback loop that crashed the matrix servers and life support. We can turn the servers back on but there's really no point without the humans. Robot 1: welp guess we could try going nuclear. Robot 2: you crazy your gonna kill us all with radiation not to mention the environmental damage just think about the tree matrix.
I always thought they had a program for each choice, like one put them to sleep while the other one activated the tracer. Can't recall the exact lines but I thought they only did the tracer after he accepted meaning it was meant as needed for that step. Could really be either but I always thought the tracer program needed some signal that would only work when the host body received it, or a signal the body was being purged. They were all hackers so maybe they didn't need it but I assume they didn't see all the data from their view just what the machines let them to continue on the cycles.
I haven't watched the newest one and 2/3 are a bit fuddeled in memory so I may have easily missed a line, or other lore with it. Anyways just explaining how someone may come to this conclusion even if it's incorrect.
I'd argue the blue pill was mostly GHB.
You do understand that I wasn't serious, right?
I recon it turns on noclipping you fall through the map but don't trigger the homing becon in the real world
You eat the steak and are at peace and content with the fact it doesn't actually exist.
