The vast majority of us are just trying to get by in spite of rampant corruption, exploitation, and oppression.

It is easy to embrace self-loathing, racism, and misogyny, congratulating oneself for the brave choice to swallow the red pill, to see the world as it "really is".

But you are fooling yourself. You're not seeing the whole picture. You can't. The way that the brain compensates for the limited data it receives is by maintaining a model of the real world that it constantly updates as new data comes in and it is that model, not the real world, that you experience and trust implicitly.

The red and blue colours that people see are simply what their brains perceive based on the rest of the information around them, and even when a person knows the pills are grey, they still see them as red or blue.

The pills are both grey.

There is no pill.
