Fucking spooks.

People do whatever they feel like doing in the moment, and the rest of society guilt trips them if they go against the system. Not because the system is inherently good, but they live in it, are forced to abide by its rules and it would collapse if they didn't. So to preserve their own comfort and exercise their own resentment towards the perpetrator and their own cowardice, they shame them. Rape is not inherently bad, murder is not inherently bad, stealing is not inherently bad. There are no set in stone rules for life and you shouldn't care about being "good". No one is good, even people who try to be good 24/7 are never good. People are more animal like than we like to admit, we're not purely logical beings and expecting people to behave as if they are is an exercise in futility. Guilt is just the fear of punishment.

The only thing you should aspire to in life is to get away with as much as possible, anything more is vanity and delusion.

Well for a start it's delusion. You feel good not because you're doing good but because everyone else is watching you do good or you're patting yourself on the back for doing good. But if you don't mind lying to yourself, then ok. Second, you're limiting yourself. You could reach your goals and get further in life way faster without morals slowing you down, there's some things you can only get if you abandon morals. You'll never feel fully in control of your own life if you abide by arbitrary rules. Finally, other people don't follow your code.

For purely philosophical reasons there might not exist objective reality and objective morality. But if you concede that humans are animals, why then do you criticize human organization? The way humans set up laws and norms, from an evolutionary perspective, is used as a survival strategy. Why then would it matter if morality is a spook? Will you criticize wolves for not entering other wolves territory, or that they have an alpha-beta organization?

Well, generally egotism is about justifying "my" desires but never explain what constitutes the "my." The true self, which is hidden inside the ego, is awarenes.

The ego (what Stirner calls the Unique) is not and can not be a spook because it is not an ideal nor is it a category which has any descriptive power.

Up to a certain point, and then it becomes corrupted. What we have today is not what you're describing.

I believe that current, modern day morality is a virus. It serves nothing but society, at the expense of the individual. What you gain in safety and security (which is more often than not not even true), you lose in freedom and individuality. Don't rape, don't steal, don't kill I will agree was beneficial to survival pre-agriculture, that doesn't mean I'd follow it but I'll accept it as legitimate to enhancing survival. But it's been hijacked and corrupted since then and holds no value in the modern era.

I don't care for my neighbour, my postman, my colleague, these people aren't my tribe and I don't need them for survival so why would I still follow the basic group survival morality of no killing, raping or stealing? And yes, if everyone believed as I did society would collapse. Well then good. Good riddance.

Certainly there are some aspects of sex that are spooks, but sex in itself is not a spook. for example a traditionalist might say you should not be gay because of manliness and biological duty. Here manliness and biological duty become spooks because they are set as ideals and imperatives that are above the individual to which the individual must submit. However being manly is not itself a spook as long as it is not allowed to become a despot over you.
For stirner true egoism is achieved when everything is "brought down" into the individual's possession, and is able to be disposed of whenever he likes.
Stirner's Critics probably sums this up better than I could, and it's a short read.

>> No.13173089

Yes, sure. I agree that having sex because it is available is permissible as unspooked but one must question the motivation for having sex at all. I suppose if the desire is entirely under the control of the self then it can't be called "spooked" but if something possesses someone to have sex then that is spooked.

The motivation is the satisfaction of a bodily need.

Eating food is not a spook, neither is having sex. As long as you're not controlled by the need for sex, it's not a spook. Someone who orients their life around getting the most sex possible would be spooked, but someone who just fucks when the opportunity arises isn't.

I think this quote by Stirner is pertinent. It's about love but it applies equally to sex.
>Am I perchance to have no lively interest in the person of another, are his joy and his weal not to lie at my heart, is the enjoyment that I furnish him not to be more to me than other enjoyments of my own? On the contrary, I can with joy sacrifice to him numberless enjoyments, I can deny myself numberless things for the enhancement of his pleasure, and I can hazard for him what without him was the dearest to me, my life, my welfare, my freedom. Why, it constitutes my pleasure and my happiness to “refresh myself with his happiness and his pleasure. But myself, my own self, I do not sacrifice to him, but remain an egoist and — enjoy him. If I sacrifice to him everything that but for my love to him I should keep, that is very simple, and even more usual in life than it seems to be; but it proves nothing further than that this one passion is more powerful in me than all the rest. Christianity too teaches us to sacrifice all other passions to this. But, if to one passion I sacrifice others, I do not on that account go so far as to sacrifice myself, nor sacrifice anything of that whereby I truly am myself; I do not sacrifice my peculiar value, my ownness. Where this bad case occurs, love cuts no better figure than any other passion that I obey blindly. The ambitious man, who is carried away by ambition and remains deaf to every warning that a calm moment begets in him, has let this passion grow up into a despot against whom he abandons all power of dissolution: he has given up himself, because he cannot dissolve himself, and consequently cannot absolve himself from the passion: he is possessed.

You don't need to eat, drink, or ejaculate to be aware. In fact, you are aware of your lack of these, but the only time you're not aware (theoretically) is when you're dead.
I guess what I'm getting at is that the body is a spook. You don't *have* to do any of these things. A basic attachment to life OR simple automated bodily functions compels these things to happen.
I didn't know we were conflating masturbation with sex. Glad to know I'm not a virgin then.
But, night emissions can hardly be considered a choice. You don't consciously choose to pump blood through your body. I wouldn't call either of these two spooks. But masturbation is a spooked activity because there is some drive other than awareness that is the motivation. Pretty much every activity is a spook. But if you can realize and accept that, and be able to curtail them at any point, I'd say that's true freedom and egoism if you want

But I am not an ego along with other egos, but the sole ego (das alleinige Ich): I am unique (Ich bin einzig). Hence my wants and my needs are also unique; in short, everything about me is unique. And it is only as this unique being that I take everything as my own, as I set myself to work, and develop myself, only as this unique being. I do not develop mankind or man, but as I, I develop- myself (als Ich entwickle Ich-Mich). This is the meaning of the Unique One (Dies ist der sinn des- Einzigen).”

Morality is a set of rules, agreed upon by and taught to the population, that are supposed to benefit social cohesion and society at large in the pursuit of a peaceful civilisation.

It's agreed that anyone who breaks these rules should be punished.

There's nothing wrong with this. If you're of reasonable intelligence, you don't need a set of rules to tell you why raping women is probably a bad idea. Or why you shouldn't be an alcoholic. Any reasonable man will exercise moderation and care for his own wellbeing. I repeat, you don't need rules to stop your life falling into chaos.

Go where?

Society without morals wouldn't devolve into a chaotic free for all. People with a modicum of intelligence know that large scale killing, raping and stealing is counterproductive to survival. I believe people would by and large get along in their own little groups, and only act out violently if their survival was threatened.

You have the freedom to kick your dog to death without anybody finding out. You could easily do it and dispose of the body without anyone catching you. But you don't. Why? Because you gain nothing from mindless cruelty and murder, you know instinctually it's a pointless act.

I’m not necessarily religious either. Anyone who takes religion at a kindergarten level of understanding (man in the sky) is a brainlet. So is anyone that dismisses it at that same level. Religion/philosophy is just a means of how to Be, a guide to Being. Not understanding this is your fault due to you sucking your own dick at the fact you think you ‘checkmate’ religious people.

The fact is that there is no such thing as a moral "ought." There is no way to legitimately confer upon an "ought" upon a person. No one is actually bound in any moral capacity and no one ever can be, unless they choose to do it to themselves. As such, there is no external morality that people must abide by.

I think there are multiple factors. Most people being dumb is one factor. Just look how many people are making non-arguments like "well if we all thought like you did you'd be less happy. checkmate!". They don't worry about logical implication, they just vaguely feel there's a contradiction in there somewhere. This is the best they can come up with to support their beliefs.

A second is that an average person is much more socially motivated than I am. Maybe they just care about social cohesion more than they do about truth. And they care about stopping other people from disrupting social cohesion more than admitting the truth behind their motivations. (Think about how smart people react to arguments about genetic racial differences. They may not even argue because they know they can't prove what they want to be true, but they'll still condemn bringing up the topic in the first place because objectively hammering out the truth is probably going to be harmful to the collective.)

But there's one last thing I didn't consider until recently. Maybe they legitimately believe their feelings are objective truth because they feel them much more strongly or in a different way than I do. When you see things light isn't occurring in your brain as an abstract concept, it's just something implanted in your brain that your thoughts can't affect. Sensory input seems like objective truth. Maybe to them morality is the same way, implanted in their brain as if they sensed it, like animal instinct. After all animal societies have rules and I question whether they're expressed abstractly through animal language. Maybe their anger and disgust at people disagreeing with the objectivity of their moral feelings is as if someone walked up and started questioning whether light was really informing you of objective truth. Abstractly you might think they technically have a point but in practice it's just so obvious light is a reflection of reality that you'll eventually tell them to fuck off and let you keep using vision to live your life. It could be something similar happening here.

>>13174405
>we have a natural tendency towards rape, murder, stealing

We are a species that only survives and thrives as a group where murder and deceit among the group hurts chances for survival. Natural selection chose for traits that resist those things. If murder and deceit (within the tribe, local group) was somehow beneficial to survival, we would not have any issue with those things.
Morals are just our instict to resist acts that undermine social cohesion, and thus increase our chance for survival. Theyre not spooks, but theyre not anything that transcends our physical being or exists outside humanity's perception.

I agree. That is because moral intuitions are intuitions of the intellect, which is developed later in life.

False. If you dump a child in the woods and let it mature to adulthood, it doesn't suddenly develop morals. Morals are taught, not inherited or "awoken" by intellect. Morality is not a logical conclusion of how to live.

Out of context I suppose you'd be right.
You claim being good leads to weakness. What is weakness, besides being vulnerable to bad things? If what is good is most ultimately valuable as an end, and one is already a good person, then the only bad thing which could be afflicted upon them would be the theft of such goodness. Since goodness is something that cannot be taken away from a truly good person, a good person necessarily is not vulnerable to any bad things and thus has no weaknesses.

>If you dump a child in the woods and let it mature to adulthood, it doesn't suddenly develop morals
Right, and neither does it develop an intellect, so the pieces all fit together. A small child dumped in the woods until adulthood would be akin to an animal insofar as it ruled by its body's survival instincts and appetites, not the intellect. The intellect of such a person would very apparently be undeveloped; meaning their moral intuitions would also be very apparently undeveloped and thus miss the good.
I'll clarify a little more since I've been pretty vague. True moral intuitions come form the intellect. An undeveloped intellect still has moral intuitions, it is just that such intuitions are very often not truly good (though still possibly good by accident). In the case of the forest child they would still desire mere survival no matter the cost as to him this is a good thing, but under the scrutiny of the intellect they would realize that they are mistaken about what is really good. Throughout all of this moral intuitions are present, all of which being in reference to the Good, for without such our moral intuitions would never exist in the first place.
