Taking the red pill operates under the assumption that you’ll actually survive to this point in your life again. Maybe you were one second away from dying in a car accident at several points, and taking that red pill will lead to a series of events that causes your death.

By the same logic, you might be seconds away from dying if you take the blue pill, I don't think that's a great argument alone. It's more a trade of time, letting you try to fix any regrets, relive the frivolous times, and buying yourself extra time, at the cost of having to go through dependent days again.

Does it increase your chance of dying before you can enjoy your reward? Sure.

Does it also increase the amount of time you get to enjoy it, on average? I'd imagine yes.
