The CaveSocrates describes a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall by things passing in front of a fire behind them, and begin to ascribe forms to these shadows. According to Socrates, the shadows are as close as the prisoners get to viewing reality. He then explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not constitutive of reality at all, as he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners.The cave is called The Allegory of the Cave, also known as Plato's cave, used to illustrate our nature in its education and want of education.

"I’m all for diplomacy, but paying 2 million a week for a 45% increase in illegal migrant crossings is insane. It feels far from border protection and more like a subscription service you just can't cancel.…"

"Exactly. The brutal reality is that royal protection was never a guarantee for Nostradamus, it could have been dropped at any moment. To think he 'wasn't afraid' just because he had a royal friend is pretty naive. Even with Catherine de' Medici’s…"
