I’ve been looking into a tradition for the last few years that died out nearly 1,500 years ago that has me wondering the opposite.
How in the present day with the clear trajectory of science and technology we are currently working on do we not realize this ancient and relatively well known text isn’t some mystical mumbo jumbo but is straight up dishing on the nature of our reality?
I think there’s a stubbornness of thought that exists among most humans regarding what they think they know about life which blinds both the religious and non-religious.
The Gospel of Thomas. Lost for centuries. Misunderstood for decades after being found. And bizarrely on point with its thinking to more modern ideas and developments.
Though I prefer the name of the text fully translated - "Good news of the twin’ - given that its ultimate point is that it’s a good thing to be the virtual copy of a physical original.

Anchoring bias is remarkably resilient.
Which text are you referring to? Sounds interesting!
