The very first word Neo says when he really understand the Matrix is... "NO".

Belief in free will has been found by numerous studies to make you much happier and psychologically healthy than believing in:

Determinism
Everything controlled by god.
Everything controlled by rich (Democrats) or government (Republicans). At the extreme, conspiracy theories. Not to say that this is false, but excessive focus on it takes away your locus of control.

Buddhism has many things in common with RP, which is why as an aspiring full fledged Buddhist I became interested in the first place.

The scary thing about Buddha is a lot of the teachings align with modern science. Scariest quote ever by Buddha: "the consciousness of light" and modern theories of consciousness say that consciousness IS the electromagnetic field created by neuronal impulses. He was speaking the truth man, but if you align and identify with the spirit, you sacrifice the self. He spoke the truth about the true nature of existence. He was right. But the question I still struggle with is, is the answer worth dying for?

If you can get past the unprovable nonsense about reincarnation, supernatural beings, storehouse consciousness (alaya), the earth orbiting the sun, some of the teachings on karma, psychic powers, and all the other bits of religious rubbish that Buddhism has accreted over the last 2500 years and just take away the good bits ...

then there is nothing like Buddhism to make you understand how the human mind works, from the internal perspective of a user. It's like the owner's manual for how to be a human.

The idea of saying "no" to foolish impulses exists in other religions too.

My favorite concept is:

Wide is the gate to foolish choices
Narrow is the gate to wise choices

. This exists in several places in the Bible with slightly different words.

The general idea is that the majority Beta culture just "goes with the flow" and this is an unwise thing to do. One must be selective and say "no" to many things you get indoctrinated with. These days just about everything in mainstream Western culture needs a "no".

"The unexamined life is not worth living."

Red Pill is about knowing what your inner animal wants and avoiding indoctrination that teaches you to be blind to yourself.

Today's biggest just say "no" indoctrinations are Racism and Sexism.

Just say "no" to both. (African Civil Rights, Feminism)

To be honest I know it's painful for the African guys on Red Pill to see African Civil Rights and Feminism seen as the same, but Red Pill is a brutally truthful place. You can't be a victim in one reality (African Civil Rights) and then an Alpha on Red Pill. It's incompatible to mix those opposites.

The White guys are hyper-aware of the Racism / Sexism thing because we get hammered by both at the same time.
