In keeping within the essence of your post.. It can be summed up pretty quickly.
Cypher: I know what you're thinking, 'cause right now I'm thinking the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here: Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill?
I know this steak doesn't exist. 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.
Cypher represents something very real in this world, and has happened to many folks who have done the research, and come to find out either they really didnt want to know, or now that they know, prehaps they can become a disinfo agent, and get inside and break apart small truth groups.
Purely a metaphore, however it makes a good point.

Yeah, lots of times I wish I were ignorant to the truth, feel it would make my life a lot more easier, but I can't resist the TRUTH.
The biggest problem I've had thugh is fidning a female companion who is not blinded to the truth, I never met one that is, I think it may be because women desire to be happy more than men, ignorance is bliss.

Let me get this straight. Because someone finds some videos and those videos are made by someone who thinks up something that is moderately creative at best and add that in with some decent movies you get the truth about the world?

I have to find someone because I want to love. I want to feel loved. I want to have someone to have my back and someone for me to protect. Ok I am getting a little emotional but trust me there is a HUGE amount of emotion locked up inside of me that is waiting to get out
"I had a vision of a way we could have no enemies ever again, if you're interested in this. Anybody interested in hearing this?
It's kind of an interesting theory, and all we have to do is make one decisive act and we can rid the world of all our enemies at once.
Here's what we do. You know all that money we spend on nuclear weapons and defense every year? Trillions of dollars.
Instead, if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over,
not one human being excluded ... not one ... we could as one race explore inner and outer space together in peace, forever."
