Assignment:

How does David Foster Wallace's assertion about human perception and the short story Allegory of the Cave by Plato relate to critical thinking? Please write one solid paragraph explaining your answer.

Allegory of the Cave by Plato:

"The point here is that I think this is one part of what teaching me how to think is really supposed to mean. To be just a little less arrogant. To have just a little critical awareness about myself and my certainties. Because a huge percentage of the stuff that I tend to be automatically certain of is, it turns out, totally wrong and deluded. I have learned this the hard way,

as I predict you graduates will, too." -- "Kenyon Commencement Address," by David Foster Wallace.
