The least realistic part of matrix resurrection is the idea that the blue pills are centrally supplied by the matrix. Basic conspiratorial mistake. Blue pills are 80% a home brew cottage industry.

Some bulk raw materials are centrally produced, but most blue pills are home-made to a personal improvised prescription based on a tacit consensus recipe agreed upon by the 3-4 closest people to any individual

Midlife crises happen when your close friends/family start getting too tired and exhausted to continue making your blue pills The effects of starting to miss blue pill doses are not the same as taking a red pill. The unpilled state is just dreary, exhausted nihilism.

Since the pills are metaphors for code changes to your sim, logically: red pill = jailbreak code, once is enough, but then you’re on your own on raw hardware blue pill = OS updates and patches unpilled = your version of OS is no longer supported, so bugs go unfixed

Now add the wrinkle that your OS is some weird homebrew Linux version maintained by 3 incompetent friends/family, rather than a major distro… and you start to see the problem of local blue pill supply chain failure
