Be warned, you will be green pilled and there is no turning back after that happens.

wtf is green pilled

>>5102266
>green pilled
now there's a term I've never heard before

what does it mean?

>>5102257
There are a couple things titled "Prometheus _______" that are worth reading, but that's not one of them.

>Is it new age/ocultism mumbo jumbo?
Yep. It's not new age/occultism dialed up to 11 batshit off-the-walls crazy mumbo jumbo, but mumbo jumbo nonetheless.

It's a madeup term by /x/. The main character who represents the "green pill" is this one >>5102300 , of which the comic version presents him holding that same book.

>>5102307
Ok, but what is it supposed to imply?

>>5102347
Enlightened metaphysicians painted in a positive light. This image explains best.
Brown pill reporting.

>>5102362
I guess you could say it was someone who has accepted the maxim
>Nothing is true, everything is permitted
and decided on that basis they want to do good (and presumably fight the illuminati)

It plays some interesting ideas, but it's terribly written and really not worth your time.

It's mainly new age woo tied into some outdated and misinterpreted ideas about quantum physics and psychology.

>>5102366
Completely correct

Another Brown pill (morphing into a green pill) reporting

>>5102362

It's a great book, I'm getting all kinds of crab logic gains from it.

you retards seriously can't guess from the context of the thread?

People have put way too much effort into this meme.

/pol/ is a really weird place, even by 4chan standards...

>>5105543
Never been to /pol/ (a c/lit/ for 2 years at least) and there's truth to these comics as much as they're exaggerated and funny (they are comics)

>>5105739
And besides that they're /x/ OC, as far as I know, so you're likely wrong on multiple accounts

It's a pretty good book, OP. Of course, with any model of consciousness, it's a descriptive framework that gets superimposed on top of perceived neurological phenomena. But for the purpose of extrapolating meaningful understanding of behavior, and influencing future behavior patterns, it kicks the shit out of the Jungian model and the 'ENTP' personality thing that everyone seems to love.

It's basically an in depth somatic marker model. Naturally, like anything that attempts to model or describe empirical phenomena - psychology, proteomics, neuroscience, chemistry etc - /lit/ will hate it.

I like to see it this way;
Hegel... Green pill... always scrutinised; always based.
Marx... Red pill... never scrutinised; never based
Stalin... Blue pill... always scrutinised; never based

Indigo pill does not exist.
Blue pill will generally develop in to white pill and then brown pill.
The final stage is either green pill or red pill.
Green pill is based but is existing nowhere.
Red pill is "material" exertion after science has been reached, or thought to have been reached.
Green pill is the "priest" class which controls blue pill with good intentions. White pill is the first stage in which blue pill denies green pills omniscience (maturity), although this is only one stage towards brown pill, who is no longer opposed to green pill. Or, he may stay unenlightened and turn to red pill. Brown pill may eventually become green pill, if he ever wants to improve the nature of the pool of blue pills and turn them in to brown pills (later possibly becoming green pills themself).

There is never too much effort.

Blue pill, green pill, red pill, brown pill? The matrix was released in the 90's and you're still flogging this dead meme. I know this is 4chan, but this is pretty sad.
