On the other hand, reality is overrated anyway. Whether I'm living in the matrix or outside it, the world is what I make it -- worst case scenario, I'll just go mad and start seeing things the way I want them to be. That said, I think I'd be sorely tempted to take them both and see what happens. There's the chance that something <i>really</i> interesting would happen (xkcd.com/566). You could, of course, argue that one pill would override the other, and I'd really be leaving my decision entirely to chance. But life can use a little randomness in it, couldn't it?<br /><br />Anyway, whatever I say I'd do now, as I'm sitting in the comfort of my home and tapping at my keyboard... chances are it's not what I'd do if actually confronted with the situation, anyway.ionohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03232594850405973383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244084325311642260.post-15280748053229707312009-09-08T11:56:20.024-07:002009-09-08T11:56:20.024-07:00Hmm...this is actually very deep. It's been a ...Hmm...this is actually very deep. It's been a long time since I've watched The Matrix and I only saw the first movie, but I think that if the machines were destroying the world and killing me and my family, I'd probably go with the red pill. At least I'd like to think I'd go with the red pill. <br /><br />But man, right about now I sure could use a blue pill. Those things would come in handy, right?lisa and laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144863275895761642noreply@blogger.com
