I like that show about the doctor

So, if you didn't see it, you should definitely see the episode of House that showed tonight. Yeah, yeah, it's gripping drama. But more importantly it's an indictment and (perhaps?) vindication of Plato. Yes, Plato. The entire episode is the parable of the cave and then with some side jokes dismissing (or confirming) Aristotle and Pythagoras and the pre-Socratics. But again, maybe those are in jokes that come down on Pythagoras' side. Anyway, it was a messed-up episode that may or may not be inspired by Francis Bacon.
