What if neo takes both pills

Why should I be afraid to question? I am afraid anyway, so why not be afraid aloud?? I feel crazy anyway, so why not be crazy in the light?? Why not name my crazy? Why not jump down the rabbit hole rather than peering into its darkness shivering and afraid? Perhaps being unafraid is not the point. If I am in the Matrix — the epistemological cage of deceit and illusion — and I see it, and know it and can call it out — why in the world would I opt for not speaking? For not acknowledging how mentally unhinged this reality makes me?

Why would I opt to become the very guard standing between me and my power to disrupt it all? You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.

Morpheus : Do you want to know…what it is? Neo : What truth? Which is to say, many of us want to reproduce the very violence we say we are opposed to — because so many of us do not know who we are outside the Matrix, we are terrified of the possibility of who we may be outside of white supremacy, what our existence is without coloniality… What I also mean is that our arguments are stunted.

You simply doubt. So, Philosophy is about thinking about beliefs and settling on a belief using reasoning and evidence wherever possible.

In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. I will make a helper suitable for him.

He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. But for Adam [ h ] no suitable helper was found.
