Nate begins this episode with a quote from Will Durant about the Kaaba, the black cube venerated in Islam. That brings up the black hexagram on Saturn and the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey. All of this serves as a foundation for a discussion of Plato’s Cave, and some clips from a recent American Alchemy about a possible connection between UFOs and Platonism.
