Do you mind elaborating? Historically, gnostic systems were quite complex. Is it fair to refer to anti-material dualism as gnosticism? I've used it as shorthand in that way with the trans movement but there's always that one guy who says, "um, actually, pleroma. aeons. &c."
Hadn't thought about it before but the Information Age's obsession with data and facts, even to the detriment of being able to see truth, certainly rhymes with the Gnostic emphasis on esoteric knowledge being salvific.
Hadn't thought fiat in this way before but it absolutely makes sense.
