Context: After Hume, who took the "you cannot know nuthin of the outside world beyond the info you get through senses" seriously, and Kant (1787) and the Germans try to establish an extremely human-centered epistemology and philosophy in general, timely matched with the French revolution, you have Germans in Jena (Hegel, Schelling, and Romantics) shitting on everything from religion as understood at the time, to normal people's opinions on basically anything.

Marx and and Feuerback and Stirner, etc. are Berlin drunks who take the latest thinking (Hegel) from the world that just completely broke apart and have infights that are equally egotistical shitposting.

Stirners book is a theory of the self, but unlike most philosophy books, it's written in a humorous fashion. By reflecting on lost morals, the proposition is one of the "self" being a perpetual self-producing entity, the productive nothing.

He also coins the terms spook in the first pages, that's what people know of him on the internet..

Drop the idea of reading it to say you read it (even if to yourself)
When you read Stirner, or Nietzsche, you don't read them for the summary, or to say you read them and know what that meme memes, notch notch, wink wink. You read them for the life in the thought and the language
It's like getting drunk and going on a rampage and making a fool of yourself, and afterwards you try to rationalize it to people who saw you, but really inside you felt alive, just for a little while. You know?
Quit being suck a fucking whimp and just read the book
In the German, thank you
Then read it again, because you have to
Then go out and fucking do something for once in your life

The Ego and Its Own is a 1884 American supernatural comedy philosophy book written and published by Max Stirner. It stars Hegel, Kant, and Hume as The Ego, It's Own, and the Creative Nothing, respectively, a trio of eccentric paraphilosophers who start a spook-catching business in Berlin. The book also stars Locke, Moore, and Mills, and features Hobbes in supporting roles.

The Ego, Its Own, and the Creative Nothing are paraphilosophy professors at Berlin University investigating the collective unconscious. Following their first encounter with a spook manifesting at the coronation of the Kaiser, the university dean fires them and dismisses the credibility of their ideology. In response, they establish "Spookbusters", a philosophical critique and debunking service operating out of a disused coffee parlour. They develop high-tech steam-powered equipment to capture and contain spooks, although business is initially slow.
