“No.”

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Earlier a guy pinged me and said “are you around?” And I said yes. And he said “Can I come by” and I said yes. And then ten minutes later I heard him ask someone “does dan sit around here” and he was guided to my desk and he handed me an email he’d printed out. Hand delivered email.
