Social Media or Virtual Madness?
How do Jim Carrey and Plato join together in a way that isn't insane? The Truman Show is modernity's Allegory of the Cave, where the pursuit of truth requires leaving behind the world you know.
Only the individual can discover truth, though in our digital echo chambers today, stepping outside a perfectly curated world doesn't require the imprisonment Plato imagined.
Are we doomed to be fooled by Descartes' digital demon into clinging to falsity in our virtual cave? Most people aren't willing to go to the ends of their world to find the truth.
Most would rather not ask "How's it going to end?"
