Stirner made one crucial slip. Existence is not a predicate. A moral law is able to exist becuase human beings has autonomy and are able to act according to imagine and act according to moral laws, in the same way we are able to percieve things through are visual capabilities. Here's the kicker, one can't consistently reject morality as nonexisting since existence is not a predicate, meaning that all propositions are only verifiable in their own domain. A moral proposition is synthetic a priori, while a descriptive proposition is synthetic a posteriori meaning that they occupy two different domains, claiming thus that moral propositions are spooks becuase they aren't synthetic a posteriori verifiable is fallacious as morality is more like mathematics than physics. Also, don't come dragging with "why should I act morally" that you should act morally is an analytic truth as moral philosophy is the search of finding true normative propositions. The question "why should I act morally" is the same as "why should I do what I should", meaning that it's true by definition that you should act morally.

First I will speak about an idea here, which as far as I know, has never occurred to anyone’s mind— we must have a new mythology; this mythology must, however, stand in the service of ideas, it must become a mythology of reason.

Until we make ideas aesthetic, i.e., mythological, they hold no interest for the people, and conversely, before mythology is reasonable, the philosopher must be ashamed of it. Thus finally the enlightened and unenlightened must shake hands; mythology must become philosophical, and the people reasonable, and philosophy must become mythological in order to make philosophy sensual. Then external unity will reign among us. Never again the contemptuous glance, never the blind trembling of the people before its wise men and priests. Only then does equal development of all powers await us, of the individual as well as if all individuals. No power will be suppressed any longer, then general freedom and equality of spirits will reign— A higher spirit sent from heaven must establish this religion among us, it will be the last work of the human race.

We must pluck out our eyes and pretend that they never evolved to see outside the dark of the cave, and cement this as fact.

Basically just asking 'why tho?' to every question and being annoying enough to merit hemlock

brainlet version of hobbes right here. this guy thinks he has an original idea and he's literally just recapitulating the first person to ever philosophize in the language in which he is writing.

Kant is extraverted so don't take him too seriously.

Even if this is some fresh new meme, it's untrue. When he was writing the CPR, Kant locked himself up in his room for months.
