    I have no fucking idea what you’re on about. Is Plato’s cave meant to be just a fancier way of saying echo chamber here?

      I think that’s what he thinks it means.

      It’s like he saw the picture of a bunch of people in a cave and came to that conclusion rather than further investigating what the actual analogy means.

        Yeah, I think you’re right. I’d always known Plato’s Cave as the thought experiment. Shame that its meaning has been diluted. I’m not digging this one tbh, they seem a bit too keen.

        They said they actually know something about psychology up thread, my guess is this is a kid getting a psych degree doing that thing psych majors do where they imagine their intro textbook has granted them an honorary doctorate
