How would you define modern gnosticism and in what way does it help us map modernity? And what do you mean by modernity, I suppose?
Put simply, it’s the inversion of man’s relation to reality.
Reality is a constraint, a limit, which defines what it means to be human.
The gnostic form is to invert the relation, and instead of reality’s boundaries being the source of your being, the source of all meaning in your life, they are viewed as oppressive, keeping the human from fulfilling what he is meant to be.
You can see this form with feminism, LGBTQ+++, critical race theory, and probably most importantly, our fiat monetary system.
