yeah, I'm saying that meme is overplayed and just boring at this point
Well, in the style of the Red/Blue pill I'll say this. The red pill narrative is that EVERYTHING you've learned in history is corrupted. We don't really know much but there are those that claim to know things for certain. The blue pill narrative is that everything the mainstream tells you is true and that the government and churches and corporations love you and have your best interest at heart.
It's all about which one you want to believe I guess.
why believe in one or the other? only the sith deal in absolutes.
You're citing fiction here, but in a sense you have a point. Indeed there is always a third, fourth, fifth option. Flip a coin and there are other options than heads and tails we often aren't aware of.
Also keep in mind there is not "your truth" and "my truth" there is "THE truth" which is something you'll (or I) will NEVER know. The key is not to look for a conclusion and prove it. This is impossible and unfortunately, knowledge doesn't work like that. In fact, to do that is pseudo-science and touches on "ideology" rather than truth.
The only universal understanding is for both of us to approach THE truth. Otherwise it's just one of us cozying up to each others filter bubbles.
If you want a nice, laid out, scientific perspective of actual analysis feel free to check out the video. It's OK if you don't. If you do watch it and find it's total BS I'm hoping you'll let me know so I can understand things better. We need each other find real truth and it's a hard thing to ask hard questions.
