That's a link to the said "Allegory of the Cave", though only about the first quarter of so is focused on the allegory.

I don't think it's a problem of so much not knowing you're in chains as not knowing that what you are seeing (the shadows of the images) are false. If you accept the shadows as the truth of the world and never look beyond them then you are trapped in the world.

I don't believe that there's anything about insanity. It's mainly a problem that the light causes pain and many more turn away from the light. It is difficult to look directly into the sun, and one may need to become adjusted to the light around them first.
