How can you know if you've really made it out?

How can you know if you've really made it out?

>35
Wtf is that?

When you start to develop magick powers duh

When you realize that there isn't a true exit.

But that's what I'm afraid of. If there is no exit, would it have been better not to look for one to begin with?

Don't waste your rime thinking about paradoxes

Looking for an exit is part of the journey. Just keep going. The next step will show itself to you, but you must find that next step yourself. No one can or even will show you; all anyone can do for you is to keep you on your way.

Don't despair, my fair user! I believe in you!

You're here for life.

When you start posting in /pol/ unironically

The Truman Show did a great job expressing this idea.

it's just caves all the way up

The farther in you get, the harder it is to move forwards. If you can't handle it, you die, but the sun is there.

Mst3k is the best version of Plato's Cave.

>implying it isn't preferable to remain in the cave

When you read the last page of Sein und Zeit and you basically want to paint the wall with your brains

You can't and I think that's the point.

I don't think it is the point but it definitely a truth that must be faced.

>would it have been better not to look for one to begin with?
of course

100+ hours in paint

When you can prove your ideas work consistenly

Is the same. Plato was just trying to look clever when he made the cave thing, he knew the plebs from the future would think it was cool. He was autistic.

Wasn't Plato's point for sure.

out of the ground into the sky

When you've turned away from the senses and the body, and chosen virtue over pleasure, knowledge over opinion and perspective, all by virtue of directing the mind's eye toward the eternal (i.e. what lies behind and structures things and makes them intelligible) - then you've made it out, I think.

The cave is ideology, and the only way to make it out is by death

Out of the sky into the dirt.

Zizek plz go

When you don't have to ask if you did.
