Must one be a fan of Aristotle to be familiar with the cave metaphor?

Does the source matter as much as the idea?

They're both old Greek philosophers, aren't they? What's the difference?

Don't all separating lines exist solely in our perception if the universe is truly infinite?

Doesn't that depend on the boundaries of our free will? Is it not agreeable that we have as much free will as we have imagination? If separating lines exist only in our perceptions, then isn't the scope of the imagination infinite?

Since you're the one making the claim, shouldn't you be the one to prove it?

Did I ever say I didn't? I'm just saying that if it can't be proved either way, why bother talking about it?
