Who's to say that the spooks aren't better than the ego?

Who's to say that the spooks aren't better than the ego?

Holy shit, you just blew my mind.

I worded it awfully but pls support my upcoming book

The individual.

The ego?

how is the ego not a spook?

That's the point; it is.

>How is the ego not a thing above the ego?
Thanks senpai.

No one. Not even Stirner. But why shouldn't you evaluate ideas as they relate to you?

Go read the fucking book. God damn. Stirner's conception of the self isn't actually that far from Siddhartha's, he just doesn't claim Dukkha is a bad thing that we ought to escape.

>Better
Here's where you're spooked kiddo. There's no objective "better". You can follow your goddamn spooky ideologies if you want to, if that's what you will. But it's not RATIONAL, Stirner is a rational egoist, not an ethical one. If you do whatever your doing because of self interest, why not going all out and keeping them spooks out of your life? Everything Stirner does is pointing that out.

how the fuck did a long forgotten and inconsequential 19th century autistic German get memed into superstardom on Congolese air traffic control discussion consortiums like this

>inconsequential

He was a huge influence on Marx.

Perpetuating the existence of most spooks is in my self interest tho?

ITT deep 15 year olds

If you actually get something from that, yes.

Spook

read stirner

nice haitch

Who cares, Stirner is for edgy teens.

The fact that there are commie stirnerians is hilarious though.

bump

>tfw you realize putting people over is a spook and just bury them instead

ITT I've read the first 10 pages of The ego and its own

>But it's not RATIONAL, Stirner is a rational egoist, not an ethical one
But is rationality and logic not also a spook?

>commie stirnerians is hilarious though
it makes sense though
stirner hugely influenced marx

But Marx wrote a polemic against Stirner that was longer than any of Stirner's works
