SOCRATES: What do you think? From the beginning people like this have never managed, whether on their own or with the help by others, to see anything besides the shadows that are [continually] projected on the wall opposite them by the glow of the fire.
GLAUCON: How could it be otherwise, since they are forced to keep their heads immobile for their entire lives?
SOCRATES: And what do they see of the things that are being carried along [behind them]? Do they not see simply these [namely the shadows]?
GLAUCON: Certainly.
SOCRATES: Now if they were able to say something about what they saw and to talk it over, do you not think that they would regard that which they saw on the wall as beings?
GLAUCON: They would have to.
SOCRATES: And now what if this prison also had an echo reverberating off the wall in front of them [the one that they always and only look at]? Whenever one of the people walking behind those in chains (and carrying the things) would make a sound, do you think the prisoners would imagine that the speaker were anyone other than the shadow passing in front of them?
GLAUCON: Nothing else, by Zeus!
SOCRATES: All in all, I responded, those who were chained would consider nothing besides the shadows of the artifacts as the unhidden.
GLAUCON: That would absolutely have to be. https://web.stanford.edu/class/ihum40/cave.pdf What you're asking, as I'm hoping this bit demonstrates, is an old question. It's as fundamental as asking oneself: "How do I escape boredom?" The Allegory of the Cave may be a good place to start for you. I'm of the belief that new concepts have their root in philosophy. Perhaps that's my own information bubble informing my opinion, but let's not ignore the fundamental idea that I wish to convey: Read. Start collecting books and reading them. There is no better way. Doesn't matter what genre the book is, just focus on it and master it. Just don't be that guy that brags about having not read a book since they were in grade school while expecting yourself to learn. The best way out of your own information bubble is by tapping into others'.
