The metaphor of the cave

When I first read Matt’s blog, I saw him criticizing Plato, saying that Plato’s stuff sucks. Later, he said that Anrand's stuff was terrible, and then argued with economic thinking there for a long time. Although I admire his courage to go against the world, I can't agree with him here. My philosophical accomplishments are not superficial, but no accomplishments at all. I've been holding Sophie's world two or three times, but I still don't understand a lot of things in this little book. Greece is a magical country, with very few people and a very small country, but it has created the most splendid culture in the Western world.
Plato has a well-known cave metaphor, which means that our life is actually a reflection of the real world, and the task of the philosopher is to get out of the cave of the illusory world and find the truth of the world. Just as Van Loon wrote in the preface of "Tolerance", people who seek out the vast world have given their lives, but the quiet valley of ignorance is still dominated by old-fashioned old people. The so-called reform and conservativeness are also reflected here. Those young people may be philosophers in Plato's cave, they are all seeking their own unknown world, hoping to get the truth of the world. But this is a road full of thorns, and Andersen's "The Glorious Thorns Road" is a story of heroes.
So to a certain extent, history is a period of exploring authentic history, and these people who dare to explore authenticity are the protagonists of history. Therefore, history is not the so-called history of the people, but the history of heroes, and the role of the people is only to step out to accompany these heroes.
I remember that boy climbed to the top of the building, but jumped down again. It seems to have seen the shadow of "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Asylum". Crazy people are just our evaluation of others, and it is very possible that we are also lunatics in the eyes of others. That teenager was just a very unfortunate youth in the eyes of his parents, but he finally arrived at Zion, and he found the ultimate reality.
The athlete also muttered to himself at the end, freedom, freedom... In fact, the first reaction was that the Americans had begun to instill the American spirit into the world again. Once talked about the wheel problem, I told Matt that they all said that I was brainwashed by American propoganda, but in fact I definitely didn't. He said, yes, but there is no propoganda in the United States. Then an image of him filled with righteous indignation emerged in my mind, with the background of American democracy and American freedom written, and the torch of the Statue of Liberty slowly flew into his hand. At that time, I was sweating, and I felt that the hallucinations caused by the United States to its people were not generally serious.
Robots were created by ourselves, but we abused them and did not give them equal rights. Then they retaliated against us. They knew each other better. They had the opportunity to make peace. But because of our arrogance, we gave up and finally they took control of us. I suddenly thought of terrorists, and the Americans nervously told the world that these people are terrorists and made a list, and then he would cross out the name of whoever called his brother. The world is really anarchy, and those terrorists have also forced it out in this way. But it is true that they are also responsible, at least they should not harm civilians. However, there is no unprovoked hatred. The root of these hatreds often even planted seeds for thousands of years. Therefore, historians continue to say, to be tolerant.
We look for the origin of the world, and we look for freedom like people under totalitarian rule. A society dominated by power needs channels to unblock power. If there is a top level that blocks these channels, the people below need to fight on their own. It's just like those who are programmed to fight, and it's like the resistance of the Soviet intellectuals. Of course, I won't talk about it in our country. However, it is a pity that many intellectuals at that time chose to enjoy the rape of the system, and their independence spirit disappeared.
In many cases, I also find that politics is extremely sexy. It makes you ecstasy for it, it also controls your soul in the end, and it also makes you sell your soul for it. And this process is not only vigorous, but also lingering, which confuses me as an onlooker or an indirect participant. Because this invisible power can actually change people's behavior and heart in this way. Sometimes political science is like an opera. It has a little bit of hatred in love, and the ups and downs in love and hatred, making people unconsciously explore the ultimate exploration of rule, justice, and honor, although this exploration will continue. Fail robustly. Politics is about power, and the question of who controls whom. Therefore, we should control ourselves and redeem ourselves more often. Aguilera is still singing, save me from myself. Sometimes, I think that although this woman is a vase, she really has a very charming personality and talent.

The Animatrix quotes

  • Cis: Operator, please! Get me out of here right now. Operator, I need an exit!

    Duo: It's no use. I told you. I've blocked your signal.

  • The Instructor: The prolonged barrage engulfed Zero-One in the glow of a thousand suns. But unlike their former masters with their delicate flesh, the machines had little to fear of the bombs' radiation and heat. Thus did Zero-One's troops advance outwards in every direction. And one after another, mankind surrendered its territories. So the leaders of men conceived of their most desperate strategy yet. A final solution: the destruction of the sky.
