Not sure if anyone is aware of this film. It contains a wide cast of characters. Many of which would be deemed out right not worth your time listening to (whether for real or fake reasons seen from the media). There were a few powerful people and moments however and several very powerful and credible people. To some lesser extent Tim Pool, but I put a lot of stock in Jordan Peterson as well as the moments that had the organizer from the BLM chapter in greater NY. It was refreshing to see people to be able to have a conversation and hear one another's point of view. There was a moment when there was a large Trump rally in DC and BLM was there next to them. The Trump rally leadership gave the BLM leader (the guy from NY) 2 minutes on their stage to talk about their platform. After those 2 minutes, everyone was cheering and chanting USA USA! People from the Trump rally approached him and took pictures with him. He (BLM leader) was upset that the media never told that story.
So I leave with Plato's Allegory of the Cave. If you only listen to the media, you're victim of this. If you never take a look at what the other side has to say (from their own mouths, not what your favorite commentator says they believe), you're victim of this. If you never get out of your comfort zone, you're victim of this. This is exactly what is dividing us today in America. Fake news comes from all directions. The sooner we ALL recognize this, the better we all will be.
Plato’s "Allegory of the Cave" is a concept devised by the philosopher to ruminate on the nature of belief versus knowledge. The allegory states that there exists prisoners chained together in a cave. Behind the prisoners is a fire, and between the fire and the prisoners are people carrying puppets or other objects. This casts a shadow on the other side of the wall. The prisoners watch these shadows, believing them to be real.
Plato posits that one prisoner could become free. He finally sees the fire and realizes the shadows are fake. This prisoner could escape from the cave and discover there is a whole new world outside that they were previously unaware of.
This prisoner would believe the outside world is so much more real than that in the cave. He would try to return to free the other prisoners. Upon his return, he is blinded because his eyes are not accustomed to actual sunlight. The chained prisoners would see this blindness and believe they will be harmed if they try to leave the cave.
