I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.

It is the true light of the sun, rather than human-made fire, that allows the prisoner to eventually see the world as it truly is, rather than simply viewing the reflections of real life that it made on the cave wall.

Allegory of the Cave in the 21st Century
"[Keanu] Reeves said a recent conversation about “The Matrix” with a 15-year-old put things into a terrifying perspective. The actor explained to the teenager that his character, Neo, is fighting for what’s real. The teenager scoffed and said, 'Who cares if it’s real?'
'People are growing up with these tools: We’re listening to music already that’s made by AI in the style of Nirvana, there’s NFT digital art,' Reeves said. 'It’s cool, like, Look what the cute machines can make! But there’s a corporatocracy behind it that’s looking to control those things. Culturally, socially, we’re gonna be confronted by the value of real, or the non-value. And then what’s going to be pushed on us? What’s going to be presented to us?'
'It’s this sensorium. It’s spectacle. And it’s a system of control and manipulation,' Reeves continued. 'We’re on our knees looking at cave walls and seeing the projections, and we’re not having the chance to look behind us.'"
