Itachi is great. It’s even more powerful that he specializes in genjutsu which literally distorts your perception of reality. I agree with what you are saying. I don’t think one can ever be redpilled on the true nature of reality. But I think we can have a firm understanding of some realities. For example, we are aware of the reality that contact with fire causes physical pain in normal circumstances. This is accepting reality. The nature of that pain may not be known but the sensation is known through our own experience/perception. You can say that babies are not aware of this reality because they often have to get burned first before they learn.

I suppose we need a clearer definition of what it means to be red-pilled. Is it about being right about something, or is it a mindset/an approach to seeking truth?
Can someone be red-pilled yet still be wrong about reality? And conversely, can someone be blue-pilled yet still be correct about a particular aspect of reality?
My definition of being redpilled is that you have gained awareness of reality after seeing it incorrectly. For example, in the matrix neo learns that the world he is living in is an illusion. The redpill wakes him up to the dystopian world that is actual reality. A modern example would be learning that fiat is the root of most problems in the world today and that inflation isn’t actually good or necessary for growth.
Interesting, so your definition is more of a discovery of the truth, if I understand correctly?
Yeah I guess you can say that. In my post, I’m basically explaining that some of these “redpilled” haven’t discovered the whole truth or haven’t fully accepted that reality. At some point the money printing stops pissing you off as much because you learn to accept it as reality. It’ll never stop.
