/lit/ - Literature

What do you guys think about Max Stirner?

I'm always disappointed nowadays when I come on /lit/ and there is no thread discussing the life and works of Max Stirner, the greatest thinker of all time.

you'll save more time by going strait to the moralizing.

sure history, or information about any event, is vitally important. but alot of the people doing the reporting have values that are *wrong*, and so their reporting will be *wrong* to suit it, and where does that leave you?

at any rate, works to look into:

economics without illusions
23 things they dont tell you about capitalism
7 deadly innocent frauds of economic policy
debunking economics
the truth in money book
the management myth
dead aid
anti-fragile

/lit/ we should form a futurist, stirneran,egoist gang We could just travel around NYC causing mayhem and destruction. Attack politicians and raid apartment stores.

Read The Ego and Its Own by Max Stirner.

Then you will be free, maybe.


Deciding to be a Stoic or an Epicurean is pretty fucking gay and you might as well have wasted your life. All you are is a slave to some ideal made up by some greek pedophile faggot a long time ago who would probably be a liberal arts adjunct at a community college nowadays.

Make your own philosophy and live it. Feel free to be hypocritical and to have it be contradictory. That is fine.

If you are bored, why stay bored all of your life being a boring ass stoic which is basically just a belief system that helps you rationalize how much you love to be fucked in the ass (by life), and there is no good reason to reject impulse...you feel the impulse for a reason, because you want to break free of the chains.

Pic related, one of the greatest men of all time because he was able to articulate that feeling deep inside that wants to revolt against all things- the insurrection of the soul against everything.

Quote from Stirner you might like:

>What is not supposed to be my concern! First and foremost, the Good Cause, then God's cause, the cause of mankind, of truth, of freedom, of humanity, of justice; further, the cause of my people, my prince, my fatherland; finally, even the cause of Mind, and a thousand other causes. Only my cause is never to be my concern. "Shame on the egoist who thinks only of himself!"

you disgust me

Max Stirner is the ultimate redpill to take. Once you've fully understood his thought there is nothing left to do but destroy.

Don't read stoic works.

They will just make you feel worse. Stoics are a bunch of faggot normalfags.

Read Stirner. It is the truth.

I'm pretty sure a wizard like Gandalf is above such spooks.

Away with these spooks, i'll start with the spook that chairs should stand on their legs and pens shouldn't be spilling ink.

Sounds like a spook to me.

>that selfishness is trivial, thus it's no good as a distinction.
But I wasn't making a distinction between things. I was pointing out that every act stems from the desire to benefit the self. The 'selfishness' is not trivial at all.

Now read pic related and swim in the empty world.
It's yours.

pls

Is there any real point in getting a degree in philosophy?
What use does it serve?

>>3419056
Fick dich.

Could anyone recommend me some interesting political or philosophical works? I am looking to expand my horizons.

I belong to the world of appearances; apart from that I am - though I am the only one who knows that — a thing in itself, a thing for me. Come on, out with it! What am I as a thing in itself, as a thing for me? Me, me, me! I am me. Language cannot go beyond this.

Look into Stirner's The Ego and Its Own. I find Stirner's self-realised egoist to be quite close to the Übermensch ideal in the sense of creating ones own values and not being enslaved by outside sources of morality and such.

>The spill and waste of suffering is too great to perpetuate your silly desires, bitch.

Is it?
