Gnocisism is a totalizing system. That means whatever I'm interested in this week, I can somehow weave it into the topic. Helen Rollins has been immensely helpful so far. She says she's never going to want to hear the G word ever again.

Episode notes
Filmmaker, podcaster, and academic Helen Rollins comes on the show even though she’s probably sick of Gnosticism (she’s Jon’s thesis advisor). It’s a conversation that goes everywhere including the relevance of theology even if you’re not religious, art, trying to create during these Gnostic times, dialectical dialogues, filmmaking, and how embracing contradiction can set us free (well…free-ish).
