media (news, social media, entertainment, advertising) acts as a powerful "shadow-caster." We are constantly bombarded with curated information, often filtered through algorithms and designed to reinforce existing biases or present a particular narrative.

How often do you leave your cave op?

If you're a philosopher or intellectual, you need to use PR to get ahead.

>>24511533
PR? Oh you mean Plato’s Republic. Based.

>>24511533
Yep

No seriously, why do you get out of using chatgpt to answer your own questions? Are you less than human?

>>24511580
why are you mad over strangers on the internet, you didn't take your anger classes did you

>why are you mad over strangers on the internet, you didn't take your anger classes did you

>>24511585
because you're a fucking jeet spamming the board with chatgpt slop?

News cycles, politics, pop culture, movies, video games, social media, porn, cloud computing, cell phones, radio, television, slop media, everything that promises instant gratification, dulls the soul's sense of eternal truth, and distracts from the quest for wisdom and virtue. Many people believe themselves to be outside the cave by following "alternative" news cycles or consooming anti establishment entertainment (I'm thinking of the anti woke crowd, of which I used to be a part) but these people are ultimately just as caught up and controlled as the people they oppose.

One might say that christianity is that comforting illusion cast on the walls of the cave, but your freemason brain could never reach that conclusion, please go back to his with your jew spam

>>24511594
and what's wrong with anti-woke exactly

>>24511520
The maddening thing about this post is that it isn't wrong, but I have no idea why the poster feels the need to spam AI summaries and AI slop art of Christ instead of using the wealth of beautiful existing images of Him and actually thinking for himself instead of spewing out said AI summaries

>>24511520
By using AI this way, you're also shadow-casting. Way to be part of the problem.

>>24511597
Have you seen the quality of posts this jeet makes without chatgpt? He can never reach these basic conclusions on his own

>>24511580
its the same fag that posts some retarded question about plato and then replies with an image of jesus christ, he does this regularly

the questions are often meaningless just like the one in this thread

>chatgpt plato/christianity question
>samefag reply with chatgpt answer
>picture of eyes and pyramids

what's the point

>>24511596
Being against woke ideology isn't the problem, it's rather that many anti woke people believe the answer is just consooming slop media that doesn't have black people in it or whatever and how they obsess over new woke media. It would be more productive and healthy to promote an actual alternative, such as reading literature and philosophy, instead of promoting old Disney movies or shilling coomer gacha games (if you look at how they react when a "non woke" kids' movie like the Mario movie comes out, you'll see that literally all they want is slop that isn't political propaganda against them). In platonic terms, they're not searching for the forms of truth, beauty and goodness, only looking for alternative shadows that suggest the forms.

just wanting non typical leftist messaging unlike conclave seems understandable to me
