Take the blue pill - take the red pill

[Das Nichts]

While I always would have chosen red in the past, nowadays it would blue.

Context:
This stems from the millennial - or whatever the fuck - movie matrix where the protagonist is given the
choice to break free from what he thinks is the reality to the actually reality.

As philosophical as a movie can be:

• Red - Find out how deep the rabbit hole goes ?
• Blue - Ignorance is bliss

Edit:

While I don't want to interfere - In what is hopefully a stomach choice - red does not mean a happy ending.

Now, blue. I'd rather have illusion.

Its better to be ignorant to live a better life, without worrying about the present society's dilemma and even the worldwide dilemma. I would choose the blue pill as well. During my childhood, I was a lot more ignorant than how i am today, i find that it was a lot more desirable than my present state. But back then, i would choose the red pill. I was very curious as to what else there was to know about the world.

Well society itself is an illusion - it's not natural. We live in the perfect time to realize that society does not scale.
It will never be achievable to union all the different views, religions, languages, cultural differences out there - to be one (humanity).

And it's questionable - in it self - it that's actually something that's worth achieving.

This is absolutely right, with all the different people with different views now, it will be nearly impossible for everyone to agree on one point of view.

I want the pill that awakes me from this nightmare?

Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

There is no satisfaction in this kind of truth. No matter how curious I am and wish to know, it would destroy every bit of my being. That's not just going to cause an existential crisis but irreversible damage to one's self of existence.

Interesting one. Obviously, taking the red pill in the movie leads you to do the right thing. Have a goal that is worth taking all the risks - to make it better.

Do you want to make it better for everyone, including suffering yourself ?
Do you want to make it better for yourself ?

Very well. But the reality - at least mine is - there is no red/blue pill. And once you have seen the whatever the red pill is, there is no going back.

I think I've seen enough

so it would be good if I chose blue

and I feel like the ability to know nothing or being oblivious to the world is somewhat of a privilege

although being oblivious to the world and the horrors of it and reality can be dangerous

but I know that I am a very curious person and always trying to look for the why and how and reasoning behind everything

and why things are the way that they are so realistically or most likely I would choose red (unfortunately)

Now, blue. I'd rather have illusion.

The level that I'm at I should have took the blue. This rabbit one is like a black void sucking my very soul

Reading some red pill stuff philosophy, blogs, etc. can affect you (especially if your life is not going well) I think it is preferable to feel illusion. I consider myself a pragmatic person, perhaps a mix between the blue and red pill would be suitable.

Interesting question. We're at 50% 50%
I've personally learned from my experiences that it's better to live in an illusion because going down the rabbit hole won't find you the answer, it'll just show you more and make you even more confused about the purpose of the existence. It's scary

In my interpretation blue just symbolises a life that I would be comfortable to live. Without guilt, depression etc.
