The Cave of Silence — 1st Critical Edition

I present a theory, based on my research and studies, entitled “The Cave of Silence.” This theory is directly related to technology, politics, geopolitics, financial systems, banking, healthcare, governments, security, art, and other areas. Above all, it focuses on what we currently know as artificial intelligence (AI), a subject widely discussed since the end of 2022. AI is used to create texts, images, photographs, videos, voices, and other outputs — for professional, ethical purposes, for research and study, and even, at times, for malicious intent. People express concern about the possibility of AI stealing their jobs or reaching a level of consciousness. Although popular debate about AI has intensified recently, in 2025, the subject is not new. Artificial intelligence has been referenced in books and films for many decades — not just in The Matrix. However, its use was only recently made available to the general public, while the military, big tech, and industries have been using it for much longer. In the media, arts, writing, and technology, there is a growing discussion about the possibility of artificial intelligence becoming conscious and dominating humanity.
