In this video I read E.M. Forster's most prescient short story "The Machine Stops". This short story is our version of Plato's Cave. Human beings are reduced to lumps of flesh constantly on the lookout for ideas to affect them. This is also a warning for all those engaged in "online philosophy" or however we want to refer to it. For we must not become masters of shadows.
