Question

According to plato, how do humans find themselves initially in the cave?

Answer 1

According to Plato, humans find themselves shackled to their seats initially in the cave.

The demonstration of the dichotomy between the World of Everyday Reality (the shadows) and the World of Ideal Forms is the allegory used in this demonstration. Just like the Hindu mystics argued that the world of Maya is an illusion, he argued that the World of Everyday Reality is illusory.

Answer 2

the answer would be: Shackled to their seats
This allegory derives from Plato's opinion on how most people think about their intelligence.
According to plato, most people love to secluded themselves from other people on how we think our actual enlightment is, but the shackles indicates that we actually follow the same pattern like other people when we're believing that we're more enlighted than them
