The Allegory of The Cave, or Plato's Cave, was presented by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work Republic (514a–520a) to "compare our nature in respect of education and its lack". It is written as a dialogue between Plato's brother Glaucon and his mentor Socrates, narrated by Socrates.
Plato's Allegory of The Cave is about the nature of thought of the philosopher, and the philosopher's understanding of perspective, which is what is required to escape the cave of what one falsely believes is real, the cave of indoctrination.
The allegory is about understanding perspective, in every matter.
One that understands perspective in the cave, understands that with two eyes they have three perspectives, therefore can build the three dimensional environment around them in their mind.
When they all exit the cave, one that understands perspective exits the cave without fear, being that they already understand the three dimensional environment around them.
It is also about the understanding of the perspective of words.
I understand universally immutable principles.
I am not of this world.
I am without sin.
All three sentences mean the exact same thing.
When it comes to one finding another that covers them in their good secrets, two engaged of the mind, make that one your mate.
When a lady grabs you by the private parts, cut off her hand.
The two sentences mean the exact same thing.
I'm going to teach a flat earther the earth is necessarily curved, in other words i'm going to put an end to a flat earther, and yet in other words i'm going to stone a flat earther to death. It's so the individual is no longer a flat earther, not that the individual is actually dead.
Two stones. One in each hand. One round stone and one flat stone.
Have the individual observe the movement of the horizons on the different surfaces as you move your hands around a bit.
As the horizon of the earth moves with the observer as it does on the round stone, the earth is necessarily curved.
Being that the time of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle was the height of flat earthers, no wonder it's included in the allegory of the cave.
Imagine Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle carrying stones in their pockets, teaching flat earthers the earth is necessarily curve. The government was crumbling.
