Friends and family aren't spooks unless you're black. The concept of friendship and family are, but the people you refer to are not.

No. Love is not a spook, thinking you ought to love is a spook.

You can still improve the world if you feel like doing so. Stirner doesn't prevent nice things. He just makes sure you do them because you want to, not because you ought to.

That's actually where Maximilian and Epicruse are very much alike, both accept the inherent selfishness of love and friendship. Pic related, the relevant citation for the point you just made.

(Wouldn't use the term 'your ego' regarding Stirner's thought though, brings up Freudian associations.)

Your sentiments aren't incompatible with Stirner. See pic related, an excerpt of The Ego and Its Own.

I haven't come across a summary of his thought that does justice to the nuances. Stirner is really one of those people of who you need to read their own phrasing to understand them.
