Lindsay on Gnosticism: Summary and Comments

James Lindsay’s recent episode of his New Discourses podcast (ep. 108) talks about Gnosticism, related doctrines, and how they relate to modern neo-Marxist thought. By his own admission, he’s having trouble organizing his thoughts on the topic and he wants others to start thinking about them, so I made a summary with some commentary as an exercise.

I’ve included some visual aids and I also have a bunch of links to free versions of books he talks about in detail.
