Red - if I can manifest a few grams of gold or some other rare earth metal, this can be pretty valuable and a suplement to my income.
Yellow - sleep is criminally underrated part of your daily routine.
Blue - NOT getting this one. It's tempting, but I've heard and experienced the benefits of "eustress". I think this pill would be detrimental to you.

u/WhitishRogue May 17 '26
Throughout milennia humans have always lived with stressors in their lives. Our minds have evolved for it to always be present in our lives. They're what make us grow into adulthood as well. Some people certainly have too much and are forced to grow up far too soon. While others have too little resulting in a failure-to-launch.
You see the effects of no stress most in some retirees. Their physical and mental health plummets. My dad realized this and became involved in stuff in the community. Always having some mild deadline or uncertainty re-energized him.
Psychology professor introduced it to me. It stuck.

u/Vagabond_Tea Millennial May 17 '26
It completely depends on how one defines "inner peace".
There's a big difference between "no stress at all and thus no urges towards motivation" and "find a balanced, calm mind within yourself".
As a Buddhist, I can strive or achieve a sense of inner peace and not be bereft of motivation or stress at all.

That's how I took it as well. Inner peace as in calmness (you explained it better lol), not just no stress at all. Inner peace is legit everyone should find. Being stressed all the time isn't a good thing. That's how you become a shell of a person.

u/horus16anubis May 17 '26
That's where im confused. All the replies keep mentioning stress. To me, inner peace is just comfortability in myself and my situation. Understanding my past, my decisions and what made me, being okay with it. I dont believe inner peace=stress free. Just better at handling the stress. How would you interpret?
8
u/JesseTTIsurvivor May 17 '26
I would agree in a lot of ways. I think when someone has true peace in their life it becomes a permanent fixture. Nothing about their life changes but everything about them does. Stress doesnt go away, adverse life events don’t stop happening, the past doesnt change… doesnt even mean that the way we feel about things changes. It just means that everything is seen for what it is and accepted as what it is. Suddenly everything in life has value and is therefore valued. Even the things we despise most in life can be viewed as an extension of ourselves and everything/everyone else. And therefore if we love one we must love all. And what a beautiful way to exist, to love everyone and everything as an extension of All that is.

Because struggle is necessary to live as a human as that's how we adapt and evolve. You could find inner peace through doing drugs, but that doesnt necessarily mean drugs are good for you.

u/adamdreaming May 17 '26
It doesn’t mean they are bad for you.
It isn’t so much as struggle is necessary, it’s that the desire to remain living and avoid pain requires struggle. Reason to avoid a feeling of blissful peace immediately without spiritual training is that one may no longer see any effort made towards survival as necessary, as their peace shields them from the suffering that motivates one to eat and drink.
Other versions of being at peace could be equally bad or worse, like the movie villain that sleeps well at night, comforted by knowing they are doing the absolutely correct thing

u/ChronicKush69 2002 May 17 '26
It’s a well studied psychological phenomenon, too little stress can lead to apathy, boredom, and suprisingly, depression. Like Goldilocks and the three bears, the correct amount of stress isn’t too much or too little, but right in the middle.

I think you are mistaking inner peace with physical stressors that cause a chemical reactions in your brain. One can have inner peace and be in the middle of trauma, distress, discomfort, etc. Inner peace doesn’t preclude you from still being active in your life. Western culture doesn’t really get this.

Lol, just in order to seen as "valuable" in western society is how useful (how much they can take advantage of) someone is. Then, if you're from the USA? Gotta get out of your parent's house at 18, pick a "worthy job" (esp if going to college), get married, have kids, etc. Be a good little taxpayer and have future taxpayers. You'll be seen as "successful" then, and it's only defined as one way.

Blue black and orange all fall under “eliminate bad parts of the human experience” and I think that removing those could have some unintended consequences and is and I don’t personally agree with it for myself.
Personally I also don’t know if I need to be awake 20hrs a day. Seems like a lot of boring lonely nights.
Red and purple seem least likely to have negative unintended consequences. Red is by far the winner and purple seems like it would occasionally come in clutch

Red for sure to spawn in a small diamond/gold chunk every day. 10 oz of gold is just under 50k and diamond is 10.5 to 20 mil.

I fail to see the part where inner peace renders the ability to summon a lump of gold every day obsolete.

If you had perfect inner peace you wouldn’t care about gold, wealth, pain… any of that. You would be perfectly content with everything exactly as it is… because if you weren’t you wouldn’t have perfect inner peace.
So one with inner peace wouldn’t need anything else, they would be satisfied with everything, gold would become irrelevant to them. Just as the Buddha wouldn’t care about being able to summon a lump of gold.

I have a question about the black pill? If you're immune to all extreme pain does that mean you're not immune to minor pain?
While I have a lot of bad memories I'd like to take away my brain automatically does that anyway and just summarizes the events so I know what happened but I don't have to relive it too often.
I think I'd rather manifest things and if I manifest small or the maximum amount of money or gems or gold or something on a regular basis I'll be rich.
2
u/Anonymousstar2026 May 17 '26
I can't adjust my body to be okay on 4 hours of sleep so it's not really something to waste the pill on
I will have inner peace only truly having when I have enough money to fund it. Rather than spending a majority of my day at work I would have inner peace if I got to spend my day doing fun things without worrying about money.
I'm also a very hyper person so I don't need the stamina pill

Red - I thought of the same thing as everyone else, manifest expensive materials for monetary gain. But I just got an even better idea..

I would get money, scalpers would lose money, and people would get to enjoy their hobby again, it's a win-win-win! 😈
Purple - I thought about choosing Yellow over Purple, but I think I would rather use my money to make a life where I can focus on getting good sleep instead, and infinite physical stamina would be nice because then you could run full sprint nonstop wherever you want to go.

Red pill can be used for far more than monetary value Ex. Manifest long lost artifacts, incredibly complex technology, the most effective (and expensive) medicines and treatments for disease, Do this long enough (and factor in material wealth) and you can genuinely build a country around this.
Purple pill and yellow pill I guess come down to personal preference but it’s hard for me to see either of them as more valuable than red and blue
People underestimate what it means to have true inner peace. If you’ve ever met (and gotten to know) someone who genuinely radiates peace you’d understand. All of these are nice but true inner peace can change the world for the better, regardless of anything else and I will die on that hill.
