beliefs, choices, or information that allow you to see the world as it really is, even though you would feel safer or happier if you did not. This refers to a scene in the movie "The Matrix" where a character is offered a choice between a red pill, which reveals the true world, and a blue pill, which keeps it hidden:

- You could argue that "Through The Looking Glass" and "The Matrix" are the same story: the red pill or the blue pill?
- I'd definitely take the red pill. How cool would that be to be sucked out of a dream state and forced into REAL reality?
