I can see Gnosticism has had a great influence on our modern spiritual world view - although haven't spent the time formulating a solid thesis about it - I suspect James Lindsay has.

Appreciate your post on this and the video content you've produced. Well done.

I know when I went looking for the video where James talks about Gnosticism I didn't find it. The one I linked to is different than the first one I heard from him. So I know he's spoken about it multiple times. I think he's likely done twitter threads on it too.

I think he's understanding it very well. I found it interesting that I had these interactions with Gnostics when I was studying Christianity and then I got out of that and started listening to videos on wokism and it was basically the same thing all over again. Though I could see the similarities, I was glad to hear James discussing them also as it is great confirmation that I really am seeing what I'm seeing.

It is so weird to see it and know most people have no idea what Gnosticism is when it's permeating everything socially today.
