Sure, but what are you reading for?
If it's for your own betterment rather than the admiration of your peers then it shouldn't matter.

Hypothesis: spooks are mental manifestations of instincts that, upon further investigation, can be identified as sensible truths from the perspective of the condition of man.

>reading Hegel, hoping to maybe find something against Stirner
>read Hegel's criticisms of philosophy as edification, and the fall back into substantial life
>commentator I'm reading mentions both analytic "muh sciense" and continental "muh culture" fags are seeking edification and refusing to see the truth in each other's work
>getting on board with Hegel
>Stirner flows into my consciousness
>"yes Hegel, but you're seeking edification in being superior to the edifiers, and beyond that, you can't actual escape the notion that you're always seeking edification, even in your scientific philosophy"
>realize I'm reading Hegel because I want to avoid Stirner's nihilism
>realize I'm edifying myself
>realize Stirner is saving me from suicide

Still, Stirner is largely Hegelian in his thinking, but goddamn, by just laughing and pointing out that all philosophy rather seeks edifying the self rather than any appeal to "Absolute outside of self" (the notion itself cannot be accepted without the temptation of edification), and realizing thus that edification IS the absolute, and thus the substance of all things and whatever is true lies in you...

Goddamnit Stirner, I hate you and I love you.

>implying I don't own the other

Daily reminder that:

>people who hate Stirner rely on made-up constructs to trick people into accepting their polemics
>people who hate Stirner only have worldly power in the unworldly spirit
>people who hate Stirner can't handle nothing

Stirner thread go (sure he's the meme philosopher, I own that)

No, I'm serious.
