someone explain the spook meme to me.
is it "shit around you that makes you care about the world"?

>> No.11131670

>>11131653
Anything external to your will that seeks to impose on it -- basically a 12 year old's conceit to solipsism.

GameStop, closed, and buy are all spooks. The game is already your property because you want it.

it's more like "shit that prevents you from only caring about your own best interest", similar to the Freudian concept of Superego, but understood as a limiting factor that we must get rid of
>>11131742
spooks are inside your mind
the concept that "pirating games is wrong" is the spook here, unless there is a high chance that you'll be persecuted, socially ostracised or otherwise inconvenienced

Is mental health a spook?

no, good as defined by you
mentally ill people who know they're mentally ill would generally prefer to be healthy if possible

Mental health is a spook - psychology is not.

>>11131653
a spook is a social construct, a meme, an arbitrary concept, particularly in the context where buying into that meme interferes with your autonomy. stirner resents that people follow artificial concepts to not gain, and suggests you recognise them as what they are, then pick them as suits you best.
