i know for a fact OP did not read his work.
neither did I btw
almost finished with the funny spook book, it's less insane than I expected, basically proto-Nietzsche with strong concentration on abandoning the idea of faith or absolute belief or unquestioning subservience to any kind of idea or ideology
Stirner to Nietzsche to Evola is the natural progression.
I bought "Revolt Against the Modern World" a few years back in my /misc/ period and I couldn't get past 100 pages; Evola kept talking about how castes where the natural order and how you were basically born a certain way and couldn't change shit about it.
On the other hand I am right now 140 pages in Stirners works and the vibe is good; I like the idea of me being the creator, of not letting myself be determined by any morale.
Next up is Shoppy or Nietzsche but I don't really feel like reading their main work or Kant beforehand because it's too abstract for my liking and the greeks sound cucked so I'll probably stick to the aphorism works of Schoppy.
Schoepenhauer is significantly more difficult than Nietzsche in my opinion, if that makes a difference to you

The most beautiful thing I've ever read
You cannot understand most of modern/ post modern philosophy/psychology w/o reading Stirner.
It's a self help book that stresses you shouldn't straight jacket yourself into apriori beliefs
Its pretty good. A lot of what he says is just common sense, and it would be interesting to see his work in more artistic ways. Junger's Eumeswil is one the few works that did, but there were definitely others such as Tsuji (The guy who influenced Serial Experiments Lain), the absurdists and the folks who made the Discordia religion. He really is a guy only can appeal to if you're really into artistic expression and analysis.
where did you find that Tsuji influenced Lain?
He invented fascism
>what if we could be selfish in a way that benefited all selfish people?
Based egotist
I am me and you don't really matter
Weak.
A handgun is much easier to wield when your philosophy inevitably makes you use it on yourself or loved ones.
Both of you are insanely cringe
Everyone already is as egotistic as they can be. People conform because it ultimately benefits them in some way.
The liberals he rants about are exercising their might with their institutions, so not sure why he's angry about that either.
As soon as you see the limits of your own brain, the uncertainty of the future and the complexity of self-perception, you see that the lines between altruism, egoism, and even martyrdom are completely blurred.
I read him because he's presented as completely radical to everyone else, but I don't think he is.
>The liberals he rants about are exercising their might with their institutions, so not sure why he's angry about that either.
they are not saying not one little time they are exercising their egoism nor even a shared egoism. the point of stirner is how they camouflaged behind justice, equality or whatever hip buzzword they find. they just cant help it, just try it, if you put some kind of egoism in any notion you yourself censure it so it looks and sounds better. its not so easy. even to yourself, its not easy.
>As soon as you see the limits of your own brain, the uncertainty of the future and the complexity of self-perception,
i think this kind of blurred perception of the world and yourself, in the sincere case, makes you crazy. insane. possibly passive and confused. in a hypocritical way its just a form to justify your egoism as some kind of sanctified and open view at the side of the power of the time.
if you dont have a clear conscience of what stirner refer when he say the unique or the creative nothing, his entire work sound stupid in the ears.
I like him. His analysis of 'liberalism' is excellent and useful.
