What are some of the ways reading Stirner has improved your life?

>> No.6278557

Look at Stirner, look at him, the peaceful enemy of all constraint.
For the moment, he is still drinking beer,
Soon he will be drinking blood as though it were water.
When others cry savagely "down with the kings"
Stirner immediately supplements "down with the laws also."
Stirner full of dignity proclaims;
You bend your willpower and you dare to call yourselves free.
You become accustomed to slavery
Down with dogmatism, down with law.

Sometimes I think people try hard not to get Stirner.
People don't seem to realise that although post-irony is beyond irony itself it still owes much of its authenticity to its fore-bearer and teacher.
Less often do people realise that philosophically, their shells, or principles, can be used as shields against a hardening climate of pre-irony revival.
In other words, they have to make better use of what they've already mastered before trying to move on to a newer version of what they already have -- mere irony -- which isn't completely redundant yet.
Nevertheless, I think it's inevitable that there will come a time when the three ironies -- pre-irony, irony, and post-irony -- will be brought together, in a sincere way, to form a new kind: ultra-irony.
This will signal a new epoch and begin a new era of intellectual, truly philosophical narratives.
Either that or irony will cease to exist because people will abandon its principles in favour of something that requires less intellect and skill.
Rats, you know, WILL desert the skip.

I read him when I was about 14 before I even went on this board
but anyway he taught me critical thinking, I'm no longer a Stirnerite though

It was influenced by Stirner, I wouldn't say that he plagiarized him, exactly. Certainly Nietzsche's conception of "idols" is similar to Stirner's conception of spooks (Nietzsche even refers to the state as an idol), but Nietzsche explored the genealogy of spooks a lot more than Stirner did, and he also philosophized about how to cope when it is distressing to lose your spooks, whereas Stirner didn't care because he had no trouble coping.

Wouldn't stirner be okay with laws as long as they suited him?

aka the king would very much so agree with the law.

>> No.6278944

>>6278551
Every time I don't feel like doing something that I "should", I realise that that "should" is bullshit, and I can refrain from doing it guilt free.

That really is tremendously liberating. Most people live half their lives getting coaxed into compliance.

>> No.6278949

>>6278933

Yes and no. The mere fact they are laws, fixed ideas, means they will inherently conflict with anyone's interest, even the law makers. If you can't dissolve something when its will departs from yours, well then it owns you. A law might make laws he agrees with, but the fact he can't then do away with them once they pass through the senate, or parliment or whatever means his own idea jump out of his body and spirit him away.

>> No.6278952

>>6278933
Stirner doesn't agree with any laws because laws themselves don't suit him.

Stirner had zero desire to be a king.

With which book do I start? What are the prerequisites?

Stirner only wrote one seminal work, The Ego and Its Own, and assuming you finished high school, you should be able to comprehend it on a basic level.

Stirner only improves normie lives by justifying normie sociopathy. He did nothing for my autistic ass. Schopenhauer tells it like it is.

What he affirms is the notion that we are all fucked and that this idea should make us feel empathetic towards other.

If you were a true Schopenhauerian you would be helping people minimise their suffering and living an ascetic life instead of whining about normies and how you are especially fucked.
