Tending Plato's Elephant (social media post screenshot).

"Tending Plato's Elephant" is a short essay by Karl Jones.

Tending Plato's Elephant

A mix of "Prisoners in Plato's cave" and "Blind men tending Plato's elephant"

People forget that Plato was a warrior and statesman, and a slave-owner to boot

Given the chance, Plato would have locked us up in that cave and forced us to tend the elephant
