I can't find any citations for this, and it doesn't make sense. Is this AI slop?
I actually heard this allegory from someone years ago, but didn't know the source. So I asked ChatGPT where this allegory came from. I expected some title or so, nevertheless ChatGPT was not able to provide the source either.
It's context is an Gnostic fable or allegory. Its pretty close ChatGPT come up with as I remember how it was told to myself.
