Why exactly is the parable of the cave considered so important? It doesn't really say anything of value; it's basically a long-winded version of "Loooool, you're all so stupid!!! Do you even know the Truth, lol? I bet you've never been outside the cave UNLIKE ME, lol". Socrates, for instance, would never write shit like that (if he was literate, that is).

Not sure if I should waste my time with a serious answer.
