Your explanation is really helpful, thank you!! I am very excited about learning this bit, previously unknown to me, about the Gnostic preference to avoid reproduction. I makes it so similar to today's sadness and dislike of human existence (assuming people back in the day really felt this way).

Absolutely. I feel that way too. The two are very similar if not identical.

As for me this hatred of procreation is very telling. Like a symptom.

There is a lot of self-hatred in the western world. Not only. And not at all the time during its history. But it is there. There is love too however.

There is absolutely no hurry. We could have this talk whenever it suits you. My scholarly life is very adjustable.
