What people don’t understand is that by siding with the resistance in the movies, you get a little dose of the same chemicals you’d get if you sided with the resistance in real life.

We are, as a species, all still too used to believing that the shadows on the cave wall are reality.

The cognitive dissonance disturbed me.
