In the Matrix, Morpheus offers Neo the choice of a blue pill or a red pill. Take one, and you remain as you are. Take the other, and the scales fall from your eyes. Those of us who watched the movie or have seen it on ubiquitous reruns, know what happens next. As an innovator, it would be awesome to pop into a completely different meta-world to understand the hidden workings of the metaverse I just left.
