The Epicureans. Most Stoics (arguably including the ones who lived in luxury like Seneca or marcus Aurelius). Montaigne, Descartes, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein. Stirner tried but his wife wouldn't let him.

>Nietzsche

>And the most important singe clue about Zarathustra is that it is the work of an utterly lonely man.

>He is shy, about five-foot-eight, but a little stooped, almost blind, reserved, unaffected, and especially polite; he lives in modest boarding houses in Sils Maria, Nizza, Mentone, Rome, Turin. Carefully the myopic man sits down to a table; carefully, the man with the sensitive stomach considers every item on the menu: whether the tea is not too strong, the food not spiced too much, for every mistake in his diet upsets his sensitive digestion, and every transgression in his nourishment wreaks havoc with his quivering nerves for days. No glass of wine, no glass of beer, no alcohol, no coffee at his place, no cigar and no cigarette after his meal, nothing that stimulates, refreshes, or rests him: only the short meager meal and a little urbane, unprofound conversation in a soft voice with an occasional neighbor (as a man speaks who for years has been unused to talking and is afraid of being asked too much).

>And up again into the small, narrow, modest, coldly furnished chambre garnie, where innumerable notes, pages, writings, and proofs are piled up on the table, but no flower, no decoration. Back in a corner, a heavy and graceless wooden trunk, his only possession, with the two shirts and the other worn suit. Otherwise only books and manuscripts, and on a tray innumerable bottles and jars and potions: against the migraines, which often render him all but senseless for hours, against his stomach cramps, against spasmodic vomiting, against the slothful intestines, and above all the dreadful sedatives against his insomnia, chloral hydrate and Veronal. A frightful arsenal of poisons and drugs, yet the only helpers in the empty silence of this strange room in which he never rests except in brief and artificially conquered sleep. Wrapped in his overcoat and a woolen scarf (for the wretched stove smokes only and does not give warmth), his fingers freezing, his double glasses pressed close to the paper, his hurried hand writes for hours -- words the dim eyes can hardly decipher. For hours he sits like this and writes until his eyes burn.

"While in Berlin in 1841, Stirner participated in discussions with a group of young philosophers called "Die Freien" ("The Free"), and whom historians have subsequently categorized as the Young Hegelians. Some of the best known names in 19th century literature and philosophy were involved with this discussion group, including Bruno Bauer, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Arnold Ruge. Stirner would often prowl the streets of Berlin jumping out to scare unsuspecting victims. Bauer once commented that on one night "[Stirner] leaped infront of an old lady, nearly scaring her to death! She shat her knickers! Once he'd [Stirner] finished reveling in his accomplishment he beat the lady to a pulp!"

Spooky..

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.

>Stirner planned and financed (with Marie's inheritance) an attempt by some Young Hegelians to own and operate a milk-shop on co-operative principles. This enterprise failed partly because the dairy farmers were suspicious of these well-dressed intellectuals. The milk shop was also so well decorated that most of the potential customers felt too poorly dressed to buy their milk there.

Does anyone really know anything about Evola's personal life? Nigga was mysterious as fuck.

[Anonymous No.6650768]

>>6650738

He served in WWI as an artillery officer. He almost got his PHD in engineering but quit because he didn't want a "bourgeois title". Mussolini thought he had magic powers, and he used to walk around Italy with body guards because he openly called himself an anti-fascist. He decided to go walking during an allied air raid so to "test his fate" and was paralyzed from the waist down when a bomb landed near him. As he died he made his disciples stand him up so he could die on his feet. He may have also been a virgin, it is hard to tell because in the Metaphysics of Sex he says something that could mean either A. he had no first hand experience in sex to use for the book at all, or B. due to being in a wheelchair he couldn't go do research while he was writing the book.

Considering the near certainty of sexual dysfunction among people paralyzed by spinal trauma, I'd be inclined to think that was Evola's problem.

The whole virgin thing is probably just more recent people adding to the myth of Evola as this ultimate traditionalist ascetic mystic.

[Anonymous No.6650926]

>>6650792

He was in some occult research group funded by Himmler, I forget the name.

Well women weren't quite as loose back then, the guy was never married, and never bought into any social trends or kept company that women would flock to. So I can see it being possible, but chances are he banged some prostitutes during the first world war.
