Let me despise their ideas, to assure you it was not I:

The true individual gnostic has an direct gnosis, or in
Kantian transcendental idealism terms, has uncovered an
a priori, non-analytical truth; which Kant sought as a
basis for morals. Such truth must produce abject men.

The "gnostic cabal", a term later posted, are usurpers
stuck, in Lacanian terms, in "master discourse" mode,
which I amplify as unable to be taught, and abusive to
others: the conceit of knowledge, also hegemonious.
