The Allegory of the Cave

The most knowledgable are always ridiculed and are deemed to be blind by those who are ignorant.

extoteric vs esoteric wake the fuck up people. Government has been fucking up our lives.

Why would you screw up the Allegory of the Cave like this?! Plato wasn't talking about television!!!!
This isn't the conversation as told by Glaucon and Socrates, but told by you!!

LOL

duh, you are absolutely right ! Anybody who threatens our TeeVee deserves to die; call for more doughnuts!

Of course he wasn't talking about TV considering The allegory in the Cave was written in the year 380 but the concept works in today's world. Instead of seeing Shadows of objects against the wall as Socrates explains our wall today is the Television. What is shown on Tv is what most people believe as reality but by freeing your mind of useless garbage and lies we can escape the chains that the media has on us.

We read this story in my World Lit class today. Very interesting.

you stupid, artless philistine.

But yeah, this adaptation sucks.

its time we awoken and shed all our limitations

Look on the internet you get to choose your media -- whether you want to entertain yourself or read etc or whatever it is you want to do.
Television on the other hand, you are not quite the dictator. Most of the information in there is filtered according to whatever the ones in control of it want you receive -- subliminally programming you without notice ehh its complex... I'm not saying not to watch TV but to just be aware its power and what it can do to the human mind.
