![]() ![]() Rather, it requires a conscious type of ignorance where you become fully aware of what you don’t know in order to learn and grow. Admitting ignorance doesn’t mean remaining wilfully oblivious to facts. When we utter those three dreaded words- I don’t know-our ego deflates, our mind opens, and our ears perk up. Taking the red pill requires an admission of ignorance and a good dose of humility. The more we speak our version of the truth, preferably with passion and exaggerated hand gestures, the more our egos inflate to the size of skyscrapers-concealing what’s underneath. Certainty blinds us to our own paralysis. “The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance,” as the late Stephen Hawking said, “it is the illusion of knowledge.” The pretense of knowledge closes our ears and shuts off incoming educational signals from outside sources. If the powers-that-be already decided that we use only 10% of our brains or that dietary cholesterol is inexorably bad for you, we can move on. As a result, facts become dispensable, and misinformation and pseudoscience thrive. ![]() Day after day, we choose the illusion of certainty rather than the messy reality of uncertainty. Everything he sees-from his clothes to his job-is an illusion created to blind him from the truth. He realizes that he’s been living in a fabricated reality called the Matrix-a prison for the mind created by machines to harvest energy from humans. Neo chooses the red pill, and the veil quickly drops. But if he takes the red pill, Morpheus tells Neo, “you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” The rebel leader Morpheus tells him that if he takes the blue pill, “the story ends.” Neo will wake up in his bed and believe whatever he wants to believe. ![]() They really trained me up to be able to have what we call the toolbox.That’s the choice that Neo faces in the movie The Matrix. It’s a big show… ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ was the hardest physical role I’ve ever had in my career so far. Reeves added to Total Film magazine, “’John Wick: Chapter 4′ has the most action of any of the films, which is saying a lot. And you see the effort and the commitment from the team.” “You know, nunchucks, which was challenging… ‘John Wick’ action asks just a little bit more. It’s new levels of action,” Reeves said about “John Wick: Chapter 4” last month. It’s a sequel he’s already touted as the hardest action movie he’s ever had to film. Reeves is back for a fourth “John Wick” movie later this month. But here are a few: ‘River’s Edge,’ ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure,’ ‘Matrix’ trilogy, ‘The Devil’s Advocate,’ ‘A Scanner Darkly,’ ‘My Own Private Idaho,’ ‘Point Break,’ ‘John Wick.'” “I’ve been very fortunate to work on a few films that have changed my life. “Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Fuck, aaaaaahhhhhhhhh,” Reeves reacted. That question nearly created a Reeves breakdown. Reeves refused to pick sides, just as he refused to name his best movie. “But the jiu-jitsu in ‘John Wick’ being integrated with judo and gunfights can never be touched in its own way.” “Nothing can ever compare to the kung fu training from ‘The Matrix’ because it was so unique and my first time,” Reeves answered. ![]() Does Reeves like the kung fu training for “The Matrix” more then he does the jiu-jitsu for “John Wick”?
