40th Street Breakdown: Plato's Allegory of the Cave


Listen Later

Whatsss up!Last episode Yort and Deez discussed ideas surrounding what drives elites & the social games that everyone has used to create a meaningful reality in modern times. This reminded Deez of his Freshmen year philosophy class when they discussed The Allegory of the Cave from Plato's Republic. In this episode the boys thought it would be fun to reread this famous philosophical work & (attempt) to break it down while relating the themes to the modern world. The break down starts around the 1 hour mark so feel free to skip to this point if that sounds intriguing enough where you would prefer to not sit through the first half where they talk about:
  • Effective forms of marketing & influencing consumers
  • A new idea involving a tech-fueled community garden
  • Issues with the basic understanding of evolution & how new species are formed'
  • And more!
We hope you enjoy!
