If life were as simple as choosing a pill, what color would you choose?

[Mr. Ed]

Red or Blue?​

 

[Pepper]

Blue. I thought blue when I saw only your question, not when I saw it as an option.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

White

 

[Nathan]

 

[OneEyedDiva]

Red.

The red pill and blue pill are metaphorical terms representing a choice between learning an unsettling or life-changing truth by taking the "red pill" or remaining in the contented experience of ordinary reality with the "blue pill". In Freudian psychology, the corresponding principles are the reality principle and the pleasure principle.

I think of blue as soothing and red as jolting.

 

[CallMeKate]

The Matrix, right? If so, then I'll take Blue. I don't always care for the real world very much.

Thank you for revealing the origin of Ed's question.

 

[GoneFishin]

Blue for me

We also saw this concept earlier in "The Time Machine" by H. G. Wells (1895).

There were the toiling Morlocks (descended from the working classes) and the simpleton hedonist Eloi (descended from the upper classes), the latter dying young ending up as fodder.

Gee, I didn't know that the question was anything other than a frivolous one...just red the origin of red and blue pills.

 

[Mr. Ed]

Red for me…awaken to the Matrix

Can I have a capsule that's half red and half blue?

 

[Paco Dennis]

I like blue/green. The Matrix myth is interesting, but a little far out there for me.
