@Witch_Hunter_Siegfried @BowsacNoodle That's not Gnosticism at all, a gnostic view explicitly sees the world as fundamentally an evil prison, and requiring a personal transformation based hidden knowledge to "ascend" or "escape" to wherever or whatever that particular cult thinks is the goal. This is why it's often said that the philosophy underlying the Trans movement is gnostic, they see the way they were born as fundamentally evil and require the gnosis of transition to become their authentic selves.
