    Plato’s allegory of the cave, basically some prisoners chained down in a cave who can only see a cave wall. They mistake the shadows on the cave wall for reality. OP is drawing the obvious comparison.

        Are you crazy? You were just out there and now that you’re back, you can barely see anything around here. And you’ve changed, it’s like you can’t relate to anyone anymore, and you don’t even seem to care what happens during our daily 16 hour wall marathon watch parties.

        Clearly whatever’s out there fucked you up and made you unable to enjoy normal things and fit in around regular people. And now you’re telling us everything we’ve been doing all our lives was meaningless and fake and you want us to go out there and become like you?

        Yeah, uh, fuck that. Now pipe down, I’m trying to watch this.
