Answer:

this is an excerpt from the "Allegory of the cave" written by Plato.

Explanation:

The "Allegory of the cave" was a story created by Plato to show how the knowledge of a truth is directly linked to the individual knowledge of individuals, mainly individuals who are in a leadership position.

This allegory can be interpreted as the way that Plato found to show how the human being has constantly regressed, sinking into alienations and becoming a victim of the cave itself, even having the intellect necessary to be free. This is happening because the human being is indulging in laziness, stimulated by the quick access to information and the lack of reasoning that this causes.
