Day 221 - Is Ignorance Bliss?

One of my favorite scenes in The Matrix is when Cypher is setting up a deal with the machines. He asks to be plugged back into the Matrix, this time as a wealthy, important person—with no memory or knowledge of the truth he now knows. As he slices into a juicy steak, he says, “I know this steak isn’t real. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss.”
