Whatever you say OP

What's up, my favorite board on 4chan.

I'm going to be reading some of jungs essays today, and watching the trees outside my window wave like green oil running down the cracks of a brick wall; the road a rainbow serpent miles across with the length of the earth itself.

The ego and their own

I've just started reading Stirner's magnum opus and within the first chapter there are multiple references to "Getting at the back" of something. Be it a physical object, or getting "back" of a concept or abstraction.

I can't for the life of me decipher what he's actually trying to articulate, precisely. It seems to have been lost in translation.

Can someone please shed some light? Thankyou.

Perfect timing, I came here to ask this question;

I've just picked him up, and am reading his magnum opus, and he keeps referring to "getting to the back of things" or as "getting back" of something, a concept, or an abstraction.

For the life of me I can't work out what he actually means, specifically.

Can anyone clarify?

You haven't read them because you either;

1. Don't realise that it will satisfy your ego unlike any other activity you are currently undertaking, or consider yourself to be capable of undertaking.

2. You won't extract egotistical pleasure from the act, and are confident enough in that assumption to avoid the act.

Do people only like this fella because he thought Marx was full of it?
