Plato's Cave

[aanglero]

This was very well done. Thanks for sharing.

[IfUrGivingIn]

I appreciate the artistic nature and effort put into this video. Thank you for sharing it with us. However, i believe you have left out some key fundamentals in Plato's Cave; one of which being the figures shown to the captives being shadows of the real world.

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

To hell with Plato's Cave. Let's go to Plato's Retreat.

[nateshannon]

This is great! Must have been a lot of work. Congratulations

females hate males because in the womb the females have the same genitalia starter kit until it falls off due to genetic weakness which is the reason why females have "penis envy". The great genius Plato had knowledge of this 2300 years before modern medical science confirmed it to be true. Plato theorized that there was nothing shrouded in mystery about females because they were all easily understood once they were viewed as "castrated males".

females hate males because in the womb both sexes have the same starter kit until when it falls away from the females due to weakness which is the reason behind "penis envy" among females. The great genius Plato had knowledge of this ages before modern medical science confirmed it. Plato theorized that there was nothing mysterious about females since they all fall into the category of "castrated males".

[aragingstorm]

umm lol?

what the hell?

[MaD1ck]

Sick beat.. Good video. I like the part when Spiderman is reading about arachnids and he gets down on one knee.

[Sabotaged858]

The text blended in with the background 90% of the time. When I actually could read the text, it was riddled with grammatical mistakes. This was a total stretch to even relate to the allegory of the cave... And spiderman would never use a rope... he has web. 1/5

[timtumzwaterrafter]

YEAH

[goodintensions]

hahahahaaaha

[zuxxzu]

this is brilliant, love it!

[pinkflowers246]

good work and wonderful interpretation. 5 stars

[captainmurphy52]

love this.  It's like he has broken through to the other side, yet he still has much to understand. Like life. Good job my friend. A+

[issareign]

a perfect description of modern day society. everyone is so fixated on what is in front of them that they cannot possibly begin to consider an alternate reality to what has been presented to them.

[TheMuffinManzorz]

Yep. Plato accurately predicted what life is like today. Another allegory I like for modern society are old zombie movies.

[K2Tanner]

I am not saying you're wrong, but I think you need to back up a claim like that and point out what he said

[TheMuffinManzorz]

Ok. I would like to back it up using this video. I don't really have the comment space to explain the connections between old zombie movies and modern society. However I will say that the phrase "Zombies in a mall" should be all you need to do it easily. Also the comment I replied to should be of help there also.

[K2Tanner]

I wrote that comment a month ago but I think that I meant that you should back up what Plato said about society and point out where he said it. You said he accurately predicted what life is like today. I wanted you to point out where plato did anything like that.

[PTFAbedeh]

What?

[swordofisis]

cute!

[bigken61]

Great job on this video! 5*'s

[RivenrockGardens]

Nicely Done video....

people naturally yearn to be free... yet the coddling of domesticity and ease is hard to break.

The world is full of dangers... yet if you are held captive and provided sustenance... how hard it must be to actually step out and fight in the world. It is so easy to become 'Institutionalised'. And that manner of enslavement is most pernicious because the enslaved often do not feel their own bonds laid upon them.

[Palle016]

Anyone read 'The Republic'?

[Palle016]

This is a fantastic work. Will definately see this several times.

Hope to see more of this!

Man shall eventually move toward the "great goal" but first they must struggle greatly through the ages as it is said in the emerald tablets

[teched246]

When Atlantis shall re emerge from neath the waves man shall move toward the great goal again and struggle to achieve the light

[KungFuKing1916]

[JohnSakars]

Billions of beings spend their lives in caves (cages), only seeing the outide world during the trip to the slaughterhouse. I'm glad I got to see this video. It's beautiful.
