Timely read; in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, Socrates describes a group of ppl who have lived since childhood chained to a wall. They can see only shadows on the wall. The shadows are their reality.  Plato explores deceptions that repel us from truth;  https://www.indwes.edu/academics/jwhc/_files/plato_s%20allegory%20of%20the%20cave.pdf
