Fascinating cave stories; however . . . .

I cannot help but think how incredibly unhealthy that 12 year old boy must have been by the time he left the cave and entered the sunshine.  Inadequate vitamin D exposure, soft bones, perhaps even some depression and likely a variety of other diseases.  So in theory it sounds warm and cozy, but in actuality -- no thanks!

Rafika...

...ah, yes.

Plato.

Without him and his inventive mind, what would we be eating off today?

Thanks for dropping by!

Actually,

I think most of us spend our time in our own little caves, seeing nothing to the left or the right, nothing above or below, just insulated and isolated and in ignorance of pendulums or falling axes or potential pandemics, or even what our most cherished beloved life partner is thinking.

I enjoyed your second story very much! I thought there for a moment you were describing New Orleans.

I like your analogy of the cave boy. Life is a privelege and we just dont get it.

Each story was fascinating, but I liked the Plato one best.

I suppose Kant was building on -- or perhaps just repeating -- Plato when the former wrote about the "thing in itself" and how we see not the "thing in itself" but our perception of the thing.
