Allegory of the cave. Plato talks about people chained up in a cave their whole lives and forced to look straight ahead so they think the shadows are reality.
What’s going on in the top picture? Prisoners being entertained with a shadow play?
Thank you

Basically, a surface level of knowledge is just shadows on the cave’s wall that could be projected by someone interested in fooling you. Unless you question the nature of things, you’d not leave a cave, and won’t probably even question your perception. Just like Morpheus, his pills and references to going down the rabbit hole like Alice did.
