    Quite true. The whole meaning of Plato's cave analogy is that Man is asleep in the Cave and attached to the shadows on the wall with the potential to turn towards the light. The concept is both annoying and insulting for sleeping man so the normal reaction is yawning assuring that nothing changes. Well done.

    Good thing you're here to enlighten everyone with your insufferable pseudo-intellectual nonsense. Keep talking in circles, by all means. Just do it without me (or anyone else, apparently). This thread isn't worth giving any more attention to -- and neither are you.

    Many years go a group of intellectuals formed a committee to learn which is the most hated of all machines. After weeks of deliberations it was finally decided the most hated of all machines is the alarm clock. It was hated in the same way those like Jesus and Socrates were also condemned to death.

    These most hated machines did not exist as individuals but rather existed in packs attacking several homes simultaneously with the intent of disturbing the peace of ones slumber. Their actions were considered even more insidious since they were protected as necessary evils.

    Real philosophy like contemplation of the forms is also like this. It is hated as both an awakening influences for individuals but survives as an essential awakening influence for humanity as a whole.
