I had to use my Google-fu for a second to figure out who came up with the Allegory of the Cave, turns out my initial guess was wrong, it's Plato, not Socrates - I think I had them mixed up. Come to think of it, I think have Plato's Republic in PDF form somewhere, I might read it. Side bar: I tried to read The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli and I couldn't understand it. Or rather I didn't understand what he was talking about with that treatise. Are you familiar with it?
