Are we living in the matrix? Would we take the red pill or the blue pill? Welcome to our most philosophical episode yet! In this episode, we venture into topics like free will and determinism, and the various outrageous fan theories that aim to prove how we might be living in a simulation. We also dive into the meaning behind the red pill and blue pill question, and how our answers might not reflect our actual behaviours. Instead, we theorise about how a purple pill should exist for those who aren’t yet ready to take a red pill.
