Adventures in Moral Horror

The trouble with Plato’s metaphor of a real world ‘out there’ is we cannot get ‘out’. We live here in Plato’s ‘cave’, where rifts in perception erupt from moral horror (ethical cognitive dissonance) *- and the landscape of our collective existence threatens to fracture beneath us!

*Cognitive dissonance: a psychological phenomenon that occurs when a person holds two contradictory beliefs at the same time.
