Dude, you are way too spooked

>Stirnerism itself requires that Stirnerites shut up and pretend to be moralists and natural lawmen
Yes, and? Why wouldn't wolves be interested in occasionally disguising themselves as sheep when it's convenient to do so? Why wouldn't wolves preach to the sheep to be meek like sheep and not to fight back and never suspect their "fellow ram" with the sharp teeth?
>surrendering Stirnerite self-interest to the constraining "spook" of objective truth
Whether a Stirnerite is behaving "as if" human rights or natural law or whatever exist, or not, is a matter of the particular moment, a matter of contingency, convenience, advantage, a matter of self-interest. At no point does he submit to the spook, because whenever he claims he believes in an objective truth or morality, the Stirnerite lies.

Being forgotten is just a spook kiddo

Sounds like you're pretty unhappy and spooked

I don't like it when my property is unhappy.

Could a Stirnerian egoist be a decent writer? How could he who values nothing but himself have anything meaningful to say about the human experience?

Is "everything is just a spook" the best mentality to have in life?

I'm not sure to what extent the myths became censored over time, though for obvious reasons the blasphemous moralists of civilization would tend to constrain the gods to civilized human morality.
This is due to their fundamental misunderstanding of the origin of the idea of 'right'. It is not some 'metaphysical' reality, but merely the conventionalization of a certain agreement (that men keep their oaths, or will not steal from each other), usually backed by the threat of violence. 'Right' is derived & sustained either only by love, or, more usually, also by the threat of greater might.
The gods, according to the archaic conception, cannot be (negatively) prideful or do wrong, since right & wrong are thus contingent on the circumstances of the individual in the society & world that constrains him. The gods are mighty & free except when threatened by Zeus's even more greater might, or perhaps by their natural love for him as their father.
tl;dr: the gods are not really constrained by morality since morality is the result of humans acting to their own advantage within their field of action as determined by the gods.

Who are some of the least spooked characters in literature?
