Is there any thought/idea/topic you wish you could 'take the blue pill' on? - Bliss through ignorance

December 7, 1941. What was this about knowledge again?
Sometimes I wish I believed magic was real and I could cast spells like those girls on tiktok and tumblr. It just seems fun.

"Red pills" and "blue pills" don't exist. They're just functions of age and intelligence. Math the two together and you get a number that says how much independent thought you're capable of, and that's it. You're either stupid or you're not. If you're stupid, there is no red pill. You can't teach a sloganeering corporate dicksuck how to be a critical thinker any more than you can teach a dog differential calculus. There's a physical brokenness there that can't be taught or argued away.
The only exception is in the very young. A teenager who's been brainwashed can still be saved by proper parenting and mentoring, although historically the reason they were susceptible to brainwashing in the first place was horseshit parenting, so don't count on it. But once someone is in their mid 20s or so, they'll either have grown a working brain or not. If not, the best you can do is trick them into shitting out mindless cliches you agree with, but they'll never truly comprehend anything you're saying. They don't even comprehend the things they're saying. They're just saying them because they know they get some primal reward for doing it.
I guess the point is that asking to be bluepilled on a specific topic is like asking to have your IQ reduced by 30, but only when looking at specific words or talking to specific people. That's just not how it works. You know what you know because you're capable of handling the knowledge. Even if you hadn't read that one study, you'd have come across it eventually, or something else would have got you wondering and you'd be back where you are now, just maybe a few months or years later.
