red or blue

[ubunterooster]

the red pill lets you see everything for what it is. the blue lets you see the world as you want.

Red of course. Also, Mirror's Edge made me go nuts every time I see red. I just want to run up/jump off/climb on everything red!

I choose other: one red AND one blue

red definitively, seeing the world how you want but not having it be how you want can be seriously screwed up. Example: you see she loves you, but really your a ridiculous stalker.

That is an awesome example.

i voted other because i'm taking the entire bottle of blue pills all by myself.

and no, i'm NOT sharing!

Red, because Pokémon Red was blatantly better than Blue.

The question of which pill to take illustrates the personal aspect of the decision to study philosophy. Do you live on in ignorance (and potentially bliss) or do you lead what Aristotle called 'the examined life'...


The question then is not about pills, but what they stand for in these circumstances. The question is asking us whether reality, truth, is worth pursuing. The blue pill will leave us as we are, in a life consisting of habit, of things we believe we know. We are comfortable, we do not need truth to live. The blue pill symbolises commuting to work every day, or brushing your teeth.
