The whole cave parable is like “what if the reality I experience is but a crude approximation and ill defined shadows cast by the real world? And I am forced to sit and observe reality this way.”
This basically sounds like a description of when I am really drunk and my vision is blurring and doubling before blacking out (which itself proves impermanence and subjectivity of reality, if you think about it).

Diogenes approves of this message but he has recently seen a child type without punctuation and would encourage you not to use it either for it is extraneous to the base existence
everybody in all of human history including children was alcoholic until 1985 change my mind

It’s easier to point out western philosophers that weren’t alcoholic. Kant…uhhh…Godel maybe? Not Augustine or Aquinas, thats for sure
we must imagine Diogenes sober
