In times like this one, I think it is important to revisit the Allegory of the Cave [0][1]. Try to think about the cave as wherever you personally started your own education instead of broadening it to any given country. Once you have an idea of what that is and what that is not, imagine…

在这样的时刻，我觉得很有必要重温一下“洞穴寓言”[0][1]。试着把那个洞穴当成你个人接受教育的起点，而不是放大到任何特定的国家。一旦你弄清楚了那是什么、不是什么，想象一下……

……或者其他任何情况……因为人们已经被训练得不敢冒险了。反正柏拉图早就写过回应了，而且所有哲学导论（Philosophy 101）课程里都有。* 柏拉图，《洞穴寓言》|| http://historyguide.org/intellect/allegory.html

柏拉图用他的洞穴寓言给出了更好的回应：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave。AI 能接触到的任何信息都是从文本里提取出来的，在关键层面上，这跟洞穴墙壁上的影子没什么两样。
