Optical Illusion of The Day: The Blue Pill, Red Pill Illusion

Posted: 27 Aug 2015 05:28 AM PDT

The blue pill and the red pill were first seen in the movie The Matrix, when Morpheus gives Neo a choice—take the blue pill to stay asleep in the fabricated world The Matrix created or take the red pill to wake up and learn the truth.

Even today, the red pill blue pill symbols are still widely recognized, even by people who haven’t seen the movie. A red pill blue pill decision means the people can “take the red pill” to learn the hard truth or “take the blue pill” and remain blissfully ignorant. Redpills are people who have chosen to learn the truth about something, while Bluepills are people who have chosen to remain blind to reality.

It would definitely be a difficult decision to make! If given the choice, which would you take? The pill on the left or the pill on the right?
