It's possible to liberate oneself from one cave, only to tumble into another. I know people who once were blinded by dogmatic religon and have now fallen into an equally dark corner of irreligion. Even Plato's version of the "light of reason" places us at risk of sacrificing our personal independence and autonomy for a rationally structured autocracy of "enlightened" governance. So we need to guard against smugness and superiority, when returning to visit those in the caves we've left behind. <br /><br />But, it's always wonderful to learn of someone who's freed himself from the twin yokes of superstition and fear.
