I'll use whatever I want. :) In this case, the popular term for people who, instead of blindly accepting an ideology of their choosing, are consistently trying to get as close to the truth as they can. But the whole point of red pill is that people are blindly accepting an ideology and facts that conform to what they already believe. Even in The Matrix, the red pill is the pill Neo takes in order to validate the beliefs he already holds (hes somewhat aware that the Matrix is a thing, hence why he takes the pill). Neo taking the BLUE pill would actually be him questioning his reality, rather than blindly accepting what he already thinks to be true. Morpheus even says it, take the blue pill and youll wake up believing whatever you want to believe which implies that Neo has a greater level of agency in understanding reality. Really, red pill is just a term co-opted by pseudo-intellectuals that imagine themselves smarter than everyone else around them. --- Inviso's Most Adorabl-est Eeveelution Ever https://imgur.com/SSw6M9E ...
