Red Pill or Blue Pill – You Decide

Published by

“You take the blue pill… the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill… you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.”

Blue pill:
πŸ’Š Supporting sustainable growth
πŸ’Š Investing in blue hydrogen with carbon capture and storage
πŸ’Š Believing electric cars have no down side
πŸ’Š Stopping peaceful protest that interrupts hard working people
πŸ’Š Liking promoted ads on this platform
πŸ’Š Listening to the (balanced) mainstream media
πŸ’Š Assuming the grown ups in charge get sustainble development

Red pill:
πŸ’Š Asking where growth ends and why social inequality persists
πŸ’Š Focusing on green hydrogen and how to reduce energy demand
πŸ’Š Knowing there could be a different paradigm with fewer cars
πŸ’Š Asking why people protest and worry about future generations
πŸ’Š Trying to engage in authentic human to human exchanges
πŸ’Š Realising how airbrushed media moguls make media content
πŸ’Š Questioning why so many experts are being ignored

Sometimes I think I’m going to go mad in a blue pill world. How about you?

“The red pill and blue pill represent a choice between the willingness to learn a potentially unsettling or life-changing truth by taking the red pill or remaining in the contented experience of ordinary reality with the blue pill.” Thank you Wikipedia. Thank you Matrix.

Further additions to the lists welcome.
