And now the world's most exciting podcast, The Savage Nation, home of borders, language, culture.

Here he is, Michael Savage.

Welcome to the Savage Nation. Today's master class is about Plato's allegory of the

0:26.8

cave. Who was Plato? Most of the young people never heard of him. They know about naked people

0:34.5

on stages, but they don't know about this great Athenian philosopher who lived in ancient Greece and very famous, in part, for writing the Socratic dialogue, the allegory of the cave, which is one of the most significant pieces of work in literary history.
