Red pill blue pill meaning4/12/2023 ![]() In the 1999 film ‘The Matrix,’ Morpheus offers the character Neo a choice of two pills: the blue pill allows him to continue in his existence as he knows it, but the red pill reveals the truth of the life he lives. The human race probably will not go extinct, but even the rich will suffer. ![]() If the addicts retain control, our children are facing a grim future of fire, flood drought, food insecurity, famine, growing civil unrest which makes “business as usual” impossible, authoritarian repression and outright global war. The problem is that players are addicted to cash and they will sacrifice even their own children just to get their next fix. You’d think growing realization of reality would galvanize even the most conservative elites who certainly see the future they’re leaving their children. There is only so much a small planet can take. Crisis of finite resourcesįantasy aside, eternal growth on a sphere of finite resources inevitably leads to global catastrophe. However, now a third ecological crises is throwing accelerant on the flames. Mass unemployment, shattered safety nets, financial meltdown of an already teetering global system and refugee crises will be the inevitable result. Unless something changes, the system will be unable to accommodate the disruption. Rapid workforce reductions of an estimated 35 to 49 per cent are expected in the next few years. Increasing automation, however, is fanning the flames. In the past, new products and services, market expansion, an adjustment here or there and a bit of illiberal hegemony, which is American domination through war and violence, rather than the export of liberal democracy, could have doused the flames. This rejection is causing a slow-burning growth crisis. The people of earth - the pawns on the chess board - have been using the internet to educate themselves for decades now and and they are increasingly rejecting the system and its associated careless consumption, of commodities such as meat, processed food, alcohol, cars and big malls. However this time, preservation is not possible because the system is facing at least three accelerating global crises that are going to bring it down. In the past, the players have been able to preserve this system of accumulation, which I expose in my free book Rocket Scientists’ Guide to Money and the Economy. Obviously, this is not the first challenge this ancien regime - an ancient system of private accumulation and forced inequality - has faced.
