What makes for a fulfilling life? What brings meaning and purpose?

Let’s start with two non-negotiable facts.

  1. As far as we know, we are only getting one shot at this thing called life.
  2. And we’re going to spend around a third of it asleep.

With that said, the only question that needs asking: are you going to take the red pill and be awake for the rest of it?

In today’s everything on-demand world we are bombarded with information: ideas and beliefs that are not ours. Passively we go through the motions of a status quo existence as if it was issued from a photocopy machine — a templated reality that society, culture, religion, and big business conditioned us to follow.

Many of us struggle to find our place in this matrix, and I get it — I was one of those many for a long time. Many feel lost, worried, and confused. Some are even hurting.

We have all been bluepilled to some extent, and the vast majority of us are unaware that there is even any other choice.
