I want to read this. Anybody already did? Will I meet parallels with stoicism in it?

Don't really see what the point of reading an edgy restatement of liberal ideology would be.

I suppose this is your opinion after reading it?

I was maybe 14 and even then knew not to waste my time reading all of it, but it really is nothing more than a restatement of already pervasive social norms with some watered down Nietzscheanism and a mystic veneer.

It's just Max Stirner/Nietzsche for pussies (bro power is everything and you should always act in self-interest, but DON'T do this le bad thing because YOU JUST CAN'T OK). You'll get nothing of value whatsoever from reading this book if you have anything past a midwit IQ.

No it's just edgy atheism.

It is a not very well written and has absolutely nothing of value whatsoever hidden inside of it. Anton Szandor LaVey represented morality previously described by Nietzsche and other fags saying might over everything else and "religion is le bad". He is also a hypocritical in his beliefs, because he tries to give you moral rules you should obey.

Is definitely edgy and bad but it's pretty far from liberal. You didn't read it.
It's essentially Might is Right but with bad heavy metal aesthetics.

A thing to keep in mind is attitudes and perceptions at the time it was written. It was legitimately edgy, countercultural, and scary to a lot folks which is what LeVay was going for. Through the eyes of 2022 it's Tumblr tier.
