Found this gem in my clipboard manager's history. Posting as a reply because I don't like quoting full AI responses. Had me smirk:
Christian Gnosticism
One-liner: “The world is a rigged game and you win by remembering you’re not from here.”
Analogy: You wake up inside a VR headset you can’t take off; the only escape is a secret password whispered by a rescuer outside the headset.
Aquino Egyptian Gnosticism
One-liner: “The world is a gym and Set is your personal trainer; the weights make you stronger until you step into god-mode.”
Analogy: You’re in a video game where every enemy drops XP; the final boss is your own doubt.
Clif High Ontology
One-liner: “Reality is a shared Google-doc that edits itself while you type.”
Analogy: If you keep calling your job “soul-crushing,” the doc keeps spawning soul-crushing tasks; change the wording, the tasks soften.
Key takeaway
All three agree the visible world isn’t the whole story, but:
Christian-Gnostic wants out of the building.
Aquino wants to remodel it into a throne room.
Clif wants to edit the source-code in real time.
