Hello World!

I titled this as such because my career background is in IT and computer programming and often our very first program involves what is called the 'Hello World!' program. As such, this is my first blog post. So why Red Pill Life? Well, I'm a huge fan of the Matrix and the red pill represented the ones who knew the truth. The color red indicated the pain of knowing the truth while blue represented the blissful ignorance of the truth. So the focus of the blog is to cover topics of philosophy and its application in real-world ethics which covers areas like political philosophy and economics. As I've learned, 90% of philosophy is in the definitions of the words you use. So as readers and those who wish to debate, keep this in mind. As a person who comes from a technical background, it's important to realize that in order to build something, like knowledge, you need a solid framework on which things need to be clearly defined. If the framework cannot be established because definitions cannot be agreed upon, no progress can be made. It is also a common tactic in debating that in order to keep the debate going, one party changes the definition and as a result create a straw-man argument. Just things to keep in mind!
