KENNY BEATS & ISAIAH RASHAD FREESTYLE | The Cave: Season 3 - Episode 1
Музыка
Welcome to Season 3 everyone. It feels so good to be back here in the KZread description of The Cave. This past year was hard on all of us, and we at DOTS hope to provide a sanctuary from the devastating and overwhelming outside world. The Cave-at its best-aims to be a microcosm of what could be. A place without super spreader disease events, without perpetual war, invulnerable to the climate catastrophe all around us.
In the Greek philosopher Plato’s seminal work, Republic, the famous allegory of the cave describes a group of people staring at a wall. These cave dwellers concern themselves with nothing except what’s inside the cave and what’s projected onto that wall. As objects pass through the light of a fire, shadows form on the wall and create their reality. They never leave the cave to find out what lies beyond, nor to realize that the shadows on the wall are not reality but merely a consequence of a larger reality. Philosophers of their time celebrated themselves for reaching out toward the sun, but maybe the cave dwellers were right to stick to what they knew, watching shadow puppets on the wall and chilling by the fire. That sounds better than most outdoor activities. What does this all mean? I don’t know, I don’t even think people read this far into the descriptions. You should be watching the video instead of scrolling this far down, truly. It’s Isaiah Rashad, arguably (actually, there is no argument) the most anticipated guest of this show’s history.
