Take a look at the world you inhabit and realize that things really aren't as they seem. Maybe our whole reality is similar to the Blue and Red pill that Morpheus presents to Neo. We can either know the brutal truth to how things are, or be blissfully unaware of the shit that we are secretly neck-deep in. I'm also reminded of a similar question that the Allegory of the Cave produces. Is knowledge truly empowering if no one believes you? I could just as easily accept that the shadow figures are the only true reality if it was the only life that I was aware of.
So, would I rather know the truth and be enlightened? Or be kept in the dark and live a life of blissful ignorance?
I'll take the Blue pill. And with that, I would like the finest Mahi Tuna with the most prized women from every country. Naked. And maybe a mound of cocaine.
