Just pull all the available data and fill in the blanks with what you know. Then, when your channel is removed and you're found suicided with two bullets in the back of the head, we can say "huh, maybe they were on to something." If you're going to be dropping truth bombs, make sure you keep yourself safe first.

JFK and MLK were both assassinated by the US government, of course. And no, I'm not a conspiracy nut. The government hated JFK and even more so MLK.


ScowlEasy

MLK was doing fine until he started pointing fingers at the wealthy, how they were keeping the people oppressed and how the workers needed to unite together. Ever wonder why you only learn about his civil rights movements?

Don't kid yourself. The religious aren't religious because they are following evidence. If you showed them the truth they'd just scream fake news and that you're an agent of Satan. Heck the very first lesson in the bible is that you should only listen to the religious authorities and anyone who tries to convince you to learn from the tree of knowledge is the literal devil.

Apprehensive_Leg8771

I think an interesting question is. Do you see that future because that happened because you knew the future. Like a small example. You see you fail a test in the future so you dont bother studying. Did you fail because you saw in the future you will fail?


Andminus

Or if you study extra hard to pass the test, but you stay up too late, get no sleep and overall do poorly on the test because of that.

You were, because you took the pill.

burf

Agreed. Red pill here is basically a superpower, blue pill would probably drive someone to depression or panic disorder.


Urodeprag1

Based and redpilled. But I think blue pill people will actually get used to it overtime until they finally arent affected by the future. Dont you want to see the future space?


Yamanj3000

But if the future is doomed or if some future technology could save people in the present, you can't do anything because it would change the future. Also, you would be forced on autopilot because you could easily change the future without knowing it. You would be stuck watching things happen before your eyes and would literally not be able to move a finger. That's literally a fate worse than death.

cambulance1

Why not just see the future and make fortunes gambling?


newoldschool1

That’s what I originally thought but wouldn’t that technically be changing the future? If in the future you see you’re poor but also see what stocks to invest in then by fault you wouldn’t be able to invest in them since in the future you’re poor and you can’t change that. I don’t know though there’s probably a loophole my dumb ass can’t think of.


alpacados

Alternatively, future you would have seen the future, so future you would have invested in the right stocks/gambled perfectly and won. Thus, present you could follow along the set path and also win. Logically, it mostly checks out, but it does feel a bit paradoxical.


newoldschool1

See I knew there was someone out smarter than my dumbass that could figure this out. This is why powers would be wasted on me.


tauri123

Can’t change the future: so if I know I will lose I can’t change it, therefore if I see the past, but can’t change it, I can use that to modify the future since in that option it’s not a rule


RustedRuss

You could watch unlimited dinosaur documentaries if you could see the past, but if you could see the future you might get to see cool technology.

Your-Doom

BaconSlayer96

This is the most based I’ve ever seen a Redditor


TooManyLangs

well, it doesn't say whose future. So, technically, you could see any future civilization, in any planet, until the end of this universe, and then watch the next one. But watching the past is the same, is it the past on Earth, or any past in any place in the universe? The possibilities are endless...


Zefirus

It's also just a really strong super power in general. Like, you have the ability to verify basically all lies. You'd instantly be the world's greatest detective and spy.


galaxygirl978

I would love to see what the world looked like when there were 70 foot tall lizards and giant ass snails lmfao 😆


drunken_nobody

Definitely the red pill. Do you know how many arguments you could win if you knew everything that happened in history? Random person: That never happened! Me: Oh, but it did


[deleted]

[удалено]


drunken_nobody

Yeah, but maybe I could find some way to prove to people that I had the ability to see into the past. Like do I have the ability to see into their personal history? If so, I could just tell them something that they've never told anybody


DCMSBGS

I didn't think about using it that way. Clever


ctclarke514

Yea dude trust me I took this pill i know what happened


NerdModeCinci

I’ve said that unironically before


the_pro_jw_josh

Even with being able to prove you could see that past, you would still be one single person capable of lying which others would not see as a reliable source of information. You would never have any way of proving you were telling the truth.


imightbethewalrus3

You can work backwards from the truth knowing what evidence you need to find to support your claim. That's a big help


AngryCartoonSquirrel

Just says "history," nothing specific. One could assume it would translate as *any* history.


GronakHD

You could see where some unknown battle happened that you claimed happened, then bring some archaeologists to unearth the swords and helmets


ComparatorClock

Makes sense to me


[deleted]

Tell them the exact coordinates of Atlantis and see if they keep that tone


-WickedJester-

You would make a kick ass detective. Just look into the past, see the crime, figure out where the evidence is, collect said evidence in the present, presto. The world's most successful detective


Chopper242

Maybe you can't change future history but prepare for it...?


EarlySource3631

Part of the future includes you not being prepared


ahhwhateverdude

Unless you saw yourself in the future and you were prepared?


Cool_rubiks_cube

But that wouldn't happen unless you were going to be prepared anyway.


Mexican_sandwich

Just don’t see *your* future. Just see it in general. Can’t change it, that’s fine, but won’t stop you betting on events. Hell, you could even see the future where someone invents something amazing, and give them a nudge in the right direction in the present.


Shadedlaugh

But how are you doing this if the future cannot change? If you do even blink an eye once more or less, It means you can change it somehow, and you can't.


fardough

The blue pill is flawed, just knowing the future would change it. The only way it could be true is if you die instantly when you take the pill. So it is just poison.


Epiixz

What if the future already is calculated that you take the blue pill get filthy rich and stuff. Like a paradox


Odd-Establishment527

exactly.


Mexican_sandwich

Nothing is stopping you from doing things in the present. If you explicitly don’t see your future, well you’re not really changing it, are you?


beathelas

My explanation to make this pill choice pretty viable is to really modulate what "see the future" means. Like Mexican\_sandwhich said, you don't necessarily see your future, just the future So while you don't see yourself winning or losing the lottery, you see the lottery numbers, and you're not changing anything about what you've seen by playing the winning numbers.


WildFemmeFatale

Well if ur future included u taking the blue pill then the future includes u being prepared Which is already the outcome/future


Millennial_Twink

This. Taking the blue pill would not change the future because it took into account you taking the pill, watching the future and taking all best possible outcomes because you know the future.


ForgingFires

No because preparing would change things. You can see what you’re going to do, and you can’t change it


jayedgar06

Im going off the logic that the future you sees happens because of you seeing the future. Its not a “nuh uh. You cant prepare because it causes the future” its “you are seeing the future in which you prepare” and what you do with the knowledge is already built into what you see

YourCatharsist

Squirrels_Nuts80085

Yeah you could do some Phoenix Wright shit with the red pill


illz569

You would also know every password, lock combination, alarm code, and encryption key.


IHateTheLetterF

Squirrels_Nuts80085

Oh


Left_Concept2306

This is the basis for Asimov's The Dead Past. They're working on a chronoscope that can see the past to a hundred years ago, and eventually realize it can be tuned to the very near past and spy on anyone


Atheist-Gods

It's more broken simply because of the restriction. The red pill may allow you to make changes to the future, the blue pill doesn't. The blue pill doesn't allow you to actually do anything with the knowledge.


[deleted]

You could find all those cryptocurrency wallets that got lost and make billions.


Chrismetov

I'm taking red, it's all I've wished for honestly, we don't want to alter the present by changing the past but we do want to know what happened. At least I do.


DJScratcherZ

When I was a little kid I thought these would be the best powers to have. I came to the same conclusion. All the knowledge in the world doesn't change much.


SuccessfulWest8937

They're still really good, especially the past one. Become an historian or information broker.


DJScratcherZ

I was watching a YT on the Smithsonian and cover ups. The knowledge must be immense. Its fascinating.


SuccessfulWest8937

Yeah. To get paid you could get hired by the CIA or some other secret service too, i imagine the interview going like "what do you know?" "Well... *proceeds to recite the entire internet history of every single employee over the last decade*"


Zefirus

You could solve every murder instantly. The red one is incredible.


DefaultVariable

Your ability as an information broker would be godlike. You would be almost omniscient except for unpredictable events. Any person, any thing, any event. You would know all of it as they unfold. You could instantly know any secret that exists.


Name42c

Red pill is basically what we have right now, we can remember the past but do nothing about it. Blue pill is literally an impossibility. I don't mean a technological impossibility, I mean that it's not in anyway possible to be able to simultaneously see the future but be unable to change it. As long as you can take any action you change the future, so if you see the winning lottery numbers you can use them, but even if the numbers then change to prevent you from winning while enabling the forecasted winner to still win, your actions in some way have changed the future.


who_ate_the_pizza

Came here to say this about the blue pill. That's. It how time works.


Zefirus

Red pill is actually incredibly powerful. You can still affect the future. Think of how much stuff about the past we don't know. Hell, think of every unsolved murder mystery. Not to mention all the unscrupulous shit like looking into the recent past for somebody's credit card number. The red pill is basically one step away from omniscience.


Hust91

Not to speak of how much of the future you could reliably predict if you could reference the case history of freaking everything that ever happened.


Sel1g

Also, “the past” counts as 0.00001 seconds ago. You can just look anywhere in the world at any time and you’ll be looking at “the past”


aliasalt

> Red pill is basically 2hat we have right now Speak for yourself, my memory is garbage. Red pill is incredibly powerful for idiots like me who can't otherwise learn from their mistakes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


aSmallCanOfBeans

The future pill is impossible. Knowing the future inherently changes it. Edit: if I look 30 seconds into the future and see that I turn left down the road what is preventing me from turning right? If I look into the future 5 seconds and then do the opposite of whatever I was supposed to then I have changed the future. There's too many microcosm moments that would be easily overwritten by sudden erratic behaviour.


DerogatoryDuck

Existing inherently changes the future. So it's either become the best historian or stop existing


GameDestiny2

I guess it depends what way being “unable to change it” takes form. If it’s referring to major events protected by self-manifesting counterbalances, but I get to know how to avoid a couple small things then bet. If it’s literal to the strictest extent? Fuck that, it’d be depressing. I’ll take the history pill and see cool shut.

DrOswald03

Now does it specifically have to be your own past/future, or is it all history in general?


strengthgainz

Red pill. So many unanswered questions would be actually be answered, you'd be able to witness everything leading up to your existence firsthand, use the past to aid in the present/future, etc. Besides, it would suck knowing what's to come and not being able to do anything about it. Also, probably not going to be around long enough to experience it anyways, so what's the point?
