The Reality Beyond the Blue Pill: It costs a lot to live a red pill life

I have had to explain many things this year because the questions keep coming.  I have a sales gear where I can go around a room and talk to people.  But anything beyond the first layer of conversation I usually stay away from because it essentially comes down to a blue pill versus red pill kind of thing, and there is a cost to the latter.  In the movie The Matrix, which I have referred to a few times over the last couple of decades, I think they best explained the difference between a blue pill life and a red pill.  For the blue, it’s all about the feeling of connectedness with other people that blue pillers strive for.  A sense of being plugged into the world around you comes with a nurturing feeling.  Knowing what Jake down the road is doing with his new lawn mower comes with a sense of belonging, and most people in the world want and need that feeling.  In the movie, we call those people blue pillers.  But if you want to see what’s really happening, you take the red pill.  And it’s then that you realize that all humanity is a giant computer program and that the forces that want to control you use this kind of matrix to harvest your mind and thoughts and that the roots of all tyranny come from this exchange.  For most people, they don’t want to know.  They enjoy being plugged in and could care less about actual reality because the illusion makes them happy.  But then you have the red pillers always looking for the truth.  And once they know the truth, they can never go back to the blue pill life.  One interesting thing about President Trump, which is evident after his second inauguration, is that he genuinely likes people.  He is a very social creature, and you would have to be for a job like that.  There’s a lot about Trump that I personally understand.  But for me, anything beyond the surface of talking with people gets very painful, very fast. 

Usually, in a crowd, I stay in the back of the room and just let people talk because there is no way to turn off the firehose once I start talking.  That is another reason I write these articles every day.  I care enough about people to give them whatever truth from my perspective they can handle and at whatever rate they choose.  But I go cold quickly to engage in a conversation about the details of human interaction.  I’m not interested in how to make a brisket or what social compliance score someone’s kid has managed to gather toward social acceptance because, as far as I’m concerned, those things are all part of a grand illusion connected to living life.  But I’m only interested in what real life is about beyond that connection.  And in that way, the reality is different for people depending on whether they are blue pillers or red pillers.  If you take the red pill, you can see a lot of stuff behind the scenes.  You will have great insight into the truth of reality.  But the cost is that you can’t often share it with people.  When people would rather talk about the illusion, such as the cost of a new lawn mower and who just bought one, or where little Suzy is going to attend college after their parents saved their money for more than 15 years to send her there, there isn’t any room for discussions about the matrix they are all plugged into which prevents them from understanding the forces that are working against them. 

Due to the end of the year and all the social engagements that come with Christmas, New Year’s, and Inauguration parties, I was often asked what kind of music I like to listen to.  The discussion usually spawned from classic rock examples, and people noticed my indifferent face.  They’d ask me, “who’s your favorite band?”  And then there is an awkward pause.  “I don’t like anybody.  I don’t listen to music.”  At least not in the way that they do; I see music as a purely blue pill experience.  There is a reason that so many songwriters are druggies and seem to be inspired by some hidden hand felt only through intoxication.  And that the political order of a massive civilization of ultra-terrestrials that exist outside of our four-dimensional reality feeds off our sentiments and passions in ways nobody seems to understand and that the way they harvest off our emotions is through popular engagements like music, where people feel compelled to dance to a catchy beat.  That’s when the eyes go blank, and everyone looks at you disdainfully because they don’t want their blue-pill reality shattered.  The correct answer would have been, “I like Led Zepplin or Stevie Ray Vaughan.”  I can never give an answer like that.  I put up the most recent viewership to my blog site, which is up over 80 million these days.  I get a lot of emails for which I only have time to read or answer less than 1% daily.  But people usually take a peek, or they follow diligently.  But they don’t have much to say in response because it comes down to a red pill thing, and it’s not for everybody. 

I wouldn’t trade away a red pill life for anything.  The insight you can have from that perspective is extremely valuable.  But to have it, you do have to disconnect from the illusions that we all are born under.  I think of it best from the Book of Ephesians in the Bible.  It is one of my favorite parts of the Bible because it was written by people who were functioning from the red pill life and trying to display it for the blue pillers.  The Matrix movie puts it successfully into crayon for everyone, which is artistically functional.  I know a lot of people these days are starting to want to peek behind the curtain into the psychedelics of the ayahuasca experience.  The football star Aaron Rogers has been going to South America during the off-season to speak to the plant teachers and give people the firehose of reality just lurking outside our reach, which makes him sound pretty crazy.  People naturally think he’s fallen off his rocker.  And people, through intoxication, get a sense of that reality just beyond our site.  And I would say it’s very dangerous, but if you peel back the layers just a bit, most people agree that something mysterious is beyond their reach, which is terrifying.  To hide from it, we have developed reality, which essentially is being plugged into the blue pill life.  Sports scores, music, food, the consumables of culture.  And it provides insulation from an actual reality.  But I can’t do it; those lives just aren’t compatible.  And there is too much that is valuable in the truth of reality.  But most people don’t want to know about it, or they can’t afford to learn.  They might be interested in small doses.  But they blank out if there is anything more than they can handle.  So, there isn’t much to say under those conditions.  And that’s why I usually don’t have much to say when the content is a blue-pill conversation.  Once you peer at reality for which it is, which also the Dune books do a good job of considering, the world of the Bene Gesserit order, who built a kind of Matrix existence to rule all humanity while the actual reality existed outside their manipulations.  There is a cost to seeing beyond that order.  And I wouldn’t trade it away for anything.  But the price is that most of the time, you have to sit in the back of the room and keep it to yourself because to speak too much only shatters the illusion people want to live with, and they get very mad when that happens unless they are incredibly ready for the content.  So, there isn’t much to say until their minds are correct, which doesn’t happen too often.

Picasso and Darbi Boddy in Lakota: The power of Leadership and temptations of blue pill politics

Like all good art, I think it reaches beyond the obvious world and articulates a core problem in the Lakota school district. And it’s pretty good, a work of art that was supposedly done by a student that an angry mom put on Darbi Boddy’s webpage after a school board meeting on Monday, the 17th of July, 2023. Darbi had once again made news, or rather Lakota did. I watched what I could of the meeting in small segments, and one thing that was clear to me was best represented in that Picasso-like painting, a caricature of Darbi Boddy, one of the most controversial school board members in the entire United States, and how kids have come to think of her. Art often says all the things that a complicated subject can’t say in an obvious way, and this artistic rendition of Darbi certainly does, despite its obvious negativity. This time the controversy that made the news was that Darbi mentioned “blood libel,” which is a very real thing. And that caused quite a stir that the media in Cleveland, Ohio, was talking about, and it provoked a reaction out of school board member Kelly Casper that was quite astonishing. The school board had been talking about the recent Supreme Court case where affirmative action was struck down for college entry. And when Darbi mentioned that Lakota should also drop those types of hiring requirements, Kelly Casper said that Lakota never practiced that type of conduct. But immediately, the most recent diversity tzar comes to mind, a person who clearly was assigned the job because of the color of their skin. To me, this is a normal meeting. To the pro-public-school people, this was a devastating conversation because what they want is a blue-pill life where nobody knows anything; they just live their lives oblivious to the outside world. They certainly don’t want to talk about affirmative action as it relates to human resource issues or blood cults that might infiltrate the school’s culture and destroy all the children.

Yet what struck me while watching all this wasn’t just the defensiveness of Kelly Casper, who has a friend in school board president now in Lynda O’Conner, but in the role reversal that Lynda now played against Darbi in public that was quite ostentatious. I’ve known Lynda for a long time and remember when she felt that the other school board members were picking on her continuously just a few years ago. The previous school board president, Brad Lovell, singled Lynda out because she was supposedly the only conservative member on the board, and things were pretty contentious. Now in that exact same role, as Brad used to have, Lynda has essentially become Brad. I know how it made her feel, so I can certainly understand and sympathize with how it made Darbi feel. And this started before Darbi became such a controversial figure. If Lynda had treated Darbi fairly, as she had throughout that last election, Darbi would have been a much different person in office. Instead, when the election was over, Lynda moved to ostracize the newly elected member, who never misrepresented herself as anything but a Tea Party candidate. And once elected, she stayed true to the type of people who had just elected her, which is a significant portion of the very conservative region we all live in within the Lakota school district.

Fantastic Interview that explains the magnitude of the problem

Of course, the students see all this, and they form their opinions and based on the way that Lakota has treated Darbi, led by Lynda O’Conner in this case; it’s no wonder that if a young person reporting what they saw through art would make such a picture of Darbi as was put forth in the summer of 2023.  In the picture, Darbi looks like some patriotic witch with the words “America” cast in a condescending way in the background.  When we wonder why many kids these days become Democrat activists, here is a case where it’s happening right in front of our faces within one of the most prestigious public schools in the country.  If it was happening there, it was happening everywhere.  The leadership at Lakota, which is something that transferred from one person to another in the seat of President, had shown students that conservative opinions were not welcome and that people who expressed them would be punished and made fun of.  Watching that Monday meeting, it’s quite clear that Lynda despises Darbi and doesn’t respect the voters who put her there.  It was Lynda who changed political positions.  Darbi is doing what Darbi was always going to do.  Voters want someone who represents them in public, not people who fall in love with job titles and will do anything to have them.  That is what has caused many of the problems in public education, and it’s not a mystery why students come to believe what they do about politics.  The big question is why did Lynda O’Conner essentially become Brad Lovell when all that changed was the name of the person who was the school board president.  And as to a bigger question, because apparently, Isaac Adi turned hard left after the election too, what makes people who were supposed to be Republican representatives turn into RINOs?  Why is it so important to them to be accepted by their peers?  Why aren’t they more like Darbi Boddy and fighting for the voters who elected them?  Why do they think it’s acceptable to behave one way during elections, but an entirely other way, a much more Democrat way, once they are sitting in the president’s seat on a lowly school board for a public education system that is an obviously dying model socially. 

I love the Jewish people; without them, a Bible wouldn’t exist. Yet like all people, bad things do happen when they lose their way. In the past, they have fallen to Baal worship, and these days, the temptations toward evil are all too easy. And they are just as tempted as anybody.

All that adds up to the painting of Darbi Boddy by a student who had a parent put it on Darbi’s website as if to say it all with a simple visual.  The poor leadership that runs these schools all over the country and are not supposed to be about politics at all are actually all about politics, liberal politics.  Democrat social positions.  And there is only one acceptable viewpoint.  Conservatives are not allowed, not real ones, anyway.  Public schools want to waste tax money on nonsense, and what they want to teach is unamerican and destructive to conservative values.  And the only reason this is a clash is because Darbi is refusing to change her beliefs under the pressure of the group consensus on the board.  At a point where I wanted to help her because I don’t like to see people being picked on, Lynda was Darbi, and Brad Lovell went well out of his way to treat her terribly from the seat of the president.  And it looks like Lynda wanted so much to turn the tables that she worked hard to become the president, only to become Brad?  This conflict is clear in that artistic rendition of Darbi.  It shows how Democrats who run these public schools see opposition to their strategies for children, and it’s quite an honor for them to feel that way.  But the more mysterious quandary is in how Lynda became what she used to hate.  Or did she ever hate that treatment at all?  Whatever the case, the students see what’s going on, their opinions about life are being formed, and the slant of their political beliefs are being shaped.  And what they see is a fault of leadership as it exists and the power it provides to people who are obviously ill-equipped to handle it.
