You mean allegory of the cave?

I think I've been having a long discussion with one today (on SW).

Well I’m sure this question is bait but in the context of the cave, the question is “which group of people will realize that the description of reality they’ve known their whole life will be shattered once they are exposed to new and different ideas and information”

And in the context of that question you ask whether the group of people that say “we already know everything and the way things are is the way they should always be” or the group that says “we now understand better and the things we once thought we knew are wrong” will be more akin to those in the cave

The answer to your question is definitionally conservatives. Beyond what you think is right or wrong it is definitional. But they will also, by definition, not see that

That’s not a failing on their part

@Tastyfrzz I can appreciate what you’re saying but what’s the both sides of this?

Plato maybe???? LOL
That's everyone. But don't expect the truth to change what YOU do! You're conservative Americans and moderate Americans.

Everyone is to some extent but the conservatives are uh, extremely, extremely far gone at this point.
