Today Hank gains insight from that most philosophical of figures…Leonardo DiCaprio. In this episode, we’re talking about the process of philosophical discovery and questioning the relationship between appearance and reality by taking a look at Plato’s famous Myth of the Cave. All with a little help from our good pal Leo.

Bewitchment of language
The earth isn't at the center of the universe? That's because it's at the center of the multiverse. 😀
The Truman Show in a nutshell
SCHEMAS!!! SCHEMAS!!!!!!! we are discussing schemas
I remember in highschool my teacher told the shadow reality story so poorly I absolutely hated it and was really disinterested in anything philosophy for years. Luckily this series helps me appreciate philosophy much more
Recommend a book please to understand this better
Please the Music at 1:52 is very peaceful. May I know what kind of music is that? I mean, in which categories of music it falls?
am i crazy for thinking that reality being real is exciting and interesting😂
The 3 tailed cat argument is flawed because it refers to two different kinds of "no cat".
I can prove it by simply changing the words that make up the argument, without changing the argument itself.
1: There exist no cats who have 2 tails.
2: Every cat has one more tail than a non-existing cat.
Therefore, every cat has 3 tails.
In this way, the argument is clearly false, even though the premises are true. If anything, this demonstrates the limitations of language. It's not a limitation in logic.
Facts
First thing I thought of when I saw this was "Inception"
In the thought experiment by Plato, there was a fire in the cave so couldn't the prisoners see other prisoners and know about the third dimension

"Heroin, tobacco and lobotomy's."
If this were a 'Which one does not belong question' . . .
I'd have to say Heroin.
The writer of the letter to the Hebrews must have been influenced by Plato.
