For myself, I was stuck on heartily accepted the red pill as it easily aligned with what I've known and seen.

Clown pill could be considered a coping mechanism, but it still very very true; so you might as well sit back and enjoy the chaos. White pill I found myself without realizing it; The collapse of Rome is always inevitable, but it's legacy will live on and so will it's people.
