(cont'd from yesterday's post)
It's a modern term, red-pilled. It comes out of a stunning scene in the 1999 movie, "The Matrix."
When Neo meets Morpheus, he's told "Let me give you one piece of advice: be honest." That sets the tone.
Morpheus says, "You know something. What you know, you can't explain. But you feel it. You know there's something wrong with the world." He offers Neo a choice between a red pill (which will tell him what's true) and a blue pill (which will leave him comfortable, unchanged, and believing an illusion).
