There has been a spotlight on Reginald Denny‚ a white man‚ from the Florence and Normandie riots‚ but not Fidel Lopez‚ also a man of color‚ who endured the same amount of pain and torture from the mob and was not mentioned in the media.

The dissemination of truth comes with fierce repudiation. The ancient works of the Bible and Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” express this everlasting theme.

These two great teachers feel a strong and dutiful obligation

Plato’s classic The Allegory of the Cave and seminal science-fiction film The Matrix at first glance seem to have nothing in common. The first is written and set in the ancient times‚ revolving around Socrates telling his follower Glaucon about chained prisoners in a primitive cave watching shadow puppets lighted by a fire burning at the cave’s opening. The latter is a futuristic story set in a world controlled by artificial-intelligent computers that created the Matrix‚ a virtual world programmed
