Why do you continue to let yourself be influenced by spooks?

What are spooks? You talking about Ghosts?
*stops doing anything*
>>34618127
they are still concerned about apperance and landing a slut in bed one day is what it seems, maybe even for their parents sake, or something like that

What's considered as a spook? I'm confused
Drop the Stirnerpill, I'm too intelligent to lurk /lit/ and find out there.
Looked the guy up. Just another unintelligible pseudo-intellectual postmodernist science denier.

Nihilism. Egoism. Anarchism. The self is all that matters.
Morality is a spook. Laws are a spook. Religion is a spook. Private property is a spook. The state is a spook. The state is the greatest threat to individuality. Marxism is gay because it quashes the individual.
why would I willingly subscribe to nihilism? hedonism is cooler

Nihilism and hedonism are not contradictory.
>tfw you dropped out of high school after you read The Ego and Its Own by Max Stirner
best decision i ever made, thank you Stirner
>>34618929
but advertising yourself as a nihilist makes you seem like a real downer
>>34618929
Literally anything + nihilism = contradictory
because your definition of spooks is arbitrary and unfalsifiable making it intellectually meaningless
chad is a spook and robots don't want to concede that

>postmodernist science denier
It's probably better to keep your religious beliefs unexamined, people who really try to follow that thread all the way (and who are smart enough t do so) tend to go mad.
I don't let black people influence me
>>34618127
Its hard and depressing not to.

race is a spook
culture is a spook
nations are spooks
>mfw I told my roommate that socializing is a spook
I need to get off this website.

Isn't saying that only the self matters so you should only do things that benefit you the most the same thing Ayn Rand was saying? Why is she shit on all the time but Stirner is considered amazing?
The most I know about either is what I read on 4chan posts but I'm just genuinely curious about any differences they have.
>>34620460
Ayn Rand is a minarchist and a capitalist dog. She believes the greatest service one can do for themselves is hoard wealth.
Stirner is an anarchist who knows capitalism is a spook. He has no desire to hoard wealth or be a slave, and he is disgusted by greed.

I think I'll read some of his work then, that sounds really interesting. Thanks for the explanation.

"The Ego And Its Own" is the essential Stirner work
desu it's kind of an impractical meme ideology but it is interesting
