Have you ever been in Plato’s cave?

No! But I just read what it is. OK, here's what I say: Plato went from being chained against the cave wall facing it to being permanently impregnated into the rock and yelling 'now I understand - freedom at last!'

Socrates was once asked 'do you know yourself'. He replied 'no, but I understand this not-knowing.'

There are no dimensions. Not 4, not 3, not 2, not 1, not even 0. You could say, though, that 'no dimensions are missing.'
