      No amount of money can ever buy you more time. Only a six year old should take the blue pill. That’s the moral of the story? I don’t know, it’s just a meme I guess.

        Some people have fucked up childhoods and reliving them isn’t an option. I would take the money, I would never go back to that hell willingly.

            Some countries don’t have a robust foster system or a system at all. I would be rolling the die on homeless in the street in a dangerous place with dirt and flagstone roads.

        Yeah no thanks, I’d rather not be bored for 2 decades again, without the fun of thinking like a child.

      I think choosing red is a good solution to basically get extra 30+ years of life.

      Hell, do the right things to receive the same offer in 30 years and you can take another red pill. Infinite loop!

          Or perhaps if the red pill is turn six today variant that pessimists think it might be, you might get actual immortality. Say we work out immortality in 2060, that might be difficult for someone 50 today, but easy to reach for someone 6 today.
