How We Lost Our New [Big Island] Home To Trump's Illegal Tariffs
#60
Edited: found your Plato allegory of the cave, ironyak

Oh, no worries, probably worth shining some more light on it anyways. Whenever I find myself underground in the Kazamura system it's hard not to ponder the allegory as your light source bobs around casting distorted shadows on every surface, as well as the transition into blinding light that forces you to squint your eyes when you emerge back up from the darkness.

Goggle summary (has a explanation breakdown as well): "Plato's Allegory of the Cave, from his book The Republic, uses the story of prisoners chained in a cave to illustrate the difference between illusion and reality, and the journey of education. The prisoners mistake shadows on a wall for reality, but a freed prisoner who escapes the cave and sees the true world (the "Forms") struggles to adjust and is met with disbelief and hostility upon returning to enlighten others, highlighting the difficulty of philosophical enlightenment."
