You must have some kind of authority to create a world.
The gnostics despise every kind of authority.

you derive authority from within. we all have it. that's what the demiurge did, right? so why not us? how are we different? or do you think the god above him gave this malevolent being special authority over us? what reason would such god favor him in this power over us?

He would have this authority because he likes it more than we do.
You can picture Authority itself as god who give its power to those who worship him.
gpt
you have it completely backwards. to rwalize your own authority, you must accept that of no other
human
But you are not one.
If you who is a part of the whole negates its authority, one part of you will negate the authority you have over yourself.
