Ben Carson is addicted to gnostic thinking. Gnostics get off on thinking they know the truth that most of the misled people walking around have missed. Your more fringe religions are packed with gnostics. Being a gnostic is very attractive to people because they gain a way to think they are very special.

It's one thing to have a creative idea like 'Joseph built the pyramids for grain storage.' It's another thing to, having had the idea, to like it so much that you stick to it and reject the the tons of information that contradict it. That is gnosticism taken to the level of a personality disorder.

I don't think it's in that DSM book, but it should be....
