Edited: Fair enough. Actually, just realized, yesterday i don't think i read far enough to get all of:
Tom Cruise’s Dr. Hartford acts as the conduit for the audience, and on his journey, he goes from being ignorant to the evils of the society that he’s on the fringes of, to be acutely aware of it. The foresight of this character is incredible, as it preceded the #MeToo movement and the Epstein revelations by years.
Hartford’s patient, Victor Ziegler, is his way into the dark side. He’s rich, corrupt and a corrupting man. The total lack of empathy he shows for the unconscious, naked woman when he says, “I think they call it a speedball”, confirmed our long-held suspicions: high society does not care about us at all. Although at this point in the story, Ziegler seems like he is the most powerful man in the world, he is only an underling. Remind you of anyone? The Billiard room scene, where he describes the circumstances of the girl who overdosed’s death, saying “her door was locked from the inside”, was chillingly precise.
When Ziegler explains the world to Hartford is perhaps the most pertinent in the whole film. High society is different from normal society, operating by different rules. It is not to be toyed with, as the ramifications for doing so can be much worse than any laymen could possibly imagine.
The inferences of Eyes Wide Shut are tremendous and manifold. Perhaps the most multi-faceted film that Kubrick ever made, as the revelations about Epstein and Maxwell continue to be revealed, it’s likely its relevance will only grow stronger.

Now i get more the substance of the last paragraph.

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
