Would you take the red pill?

Asking this on a psychedelic forum is probably poor sampling procedure, but the question remains...
Would you take the red pill (as in the red pill from the popular, beloved The Matrix film), if given the opportunity?
If you don't know what the red pill is... well, you're either lying or intentionally avoiding watching one of the most thought-provoking mainstream movies of all time.
Edit: This is what I'm talking about:

I saw what they ate. But really, it looks like a pretty shitty life for most of them that did eat the red pill. I'll stick to temporary red pills thank you very much. I love the sunshine and steak, even if it is fake.

I always say the red pill, as knowing that my reality is false would be unacceptable to me - I'd have to know the true reality even it was more uncomfortable.
My non-psychedelic-using friend contends that he would be happy to take the blue pill, as it doesn't matter to him if the current reality is false - he says if it has the appearance of being true, then that is no different from it being true. To me that is solipsism, but to him it's simply choosing the most favourable sensory inputs.

In the film, they could visit the matrix whenever and eat steak. 
Personally, I wish I could eat that gooey stuff everyday...
It's a single celled protein combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins, and minerals... everything the body needs.
Stuff is probably killer bodybuilder nutrition. At the very least, it would save a lot of trouble trying to get the right nutrition by eating variety.

Yeah but when they where originally in the matrix they where fed nutrients. So the steak was a lie and did nothing for them. It was all the plugs and goo they where attached to.
With out that going into the matrix to eat does nothing once unplugged.
And really you think it would be great to eat that shit daily for the rest of your life? Runny snot?
I need a little variety.

Depends how good my life is at the time. If I was fat, balding and stuck in some dead end job? I'd crush it up and snort that motherfucker. But if someone gave it to me right now, I don't know what I'd do.

Ah the blue... yeah still. No. Remember, how many of those people actually got to use the fancy machines. You would have to join the military and shit to jack into the matrix so you could use all your special abilities. And as we no around these parts no one wants to join the military.
 Yes please, thank you very much.

This is why I encapsulate my shrooms in red capsules, although I must say some days, I wish I'd taken the blue pill because it's hard standing out against all the brainwashed idiots out there that think they are the shit because that's how they come across to all their "friends" on Facebook, #ignoranceisbliss
