One of my favorite movies is "The Matrix." It is a science fiction movie. Near the beginning of the movie the main character (Neo) is asked is he wants to learn about what happened to him. "You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." -Morpheus He takes the red pill and learns of the terrible truth. I don't sent to say to too much so I will just get to the point. Which would you pick? I would pick red out of curiosity of what would happen.

I don't need drugs to see the truth :lol: Nah but really this question doesn't actually mean much ... I guess it's happiness vs "truth" type question, but without actual specifics it's kind of meaningless If you're asking what I'd do if actually in that exact situation, no way in hell I'm taking either pill from some random black dude lol

It actually means this: The red pill and its opposite, the blue pill, are pop culture symbols representing the choice between the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue) and embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red). I now realize how stupid of a thread this is. -

I'd choose staying in the Matrix. Cypher is my man.

I'd go with red. You don't live forever anyway, might as well deal with the truth. -

As a young philosopher I will take the red pill and venture out the cave of Plato's allegory.
