Hace mas de dos mil años, Platón hablaba entre otros temas de la ignorancia como fuente de la mayoría de nuestros problemas. 

En una de sus obras mas importantes hace una alegoría de la caverna en la que nos encontramos como personas y como humanidad. 

Salir de la caverna al mundo de las ideas, mas allá de lo que creemos es la realidad, no es sencillo, pero es nuestra responsabilidad.
