This is the repaired free half, while the full talk is already available to subscribers to JaysAnalysis.com. After many requests, I have decided to cover gnosticism and why I am not a gnostic. The first half will cover the lure of Gnosticism and its modern variants, and the often overlooked aspect of who funds gnostic movements and books.

The first half of this video will be public, while the second half will be for subscribers to JaysAnalysis.
In this half talk, we come to the most important image in the history of western thought and philosophy, the allegory of the cave and the Platonic epistemology and metaphysic. Exemplifying in lucid terms exactly what Plato/Socrates thought about gnosis and statecraft, my talk demystifies and debunks the common misappropriation and misuse of this allegory.
