Guys, I've managed to set aside all dogma and ideology. My mind is unspooked, whatever you want to call it. What did you do next? I feel like my desire for guidance and a code / life philosophy is a weakess. No code could possibly tell you what to do in all situations. Even desires seem like some sort of socially constructed straitjacket.

I trust my tastes and intuitons but you never know whether or not the modern world is set up to take advantage of you for this, even if you are aware of it. I don't eat every bit of carb filled chocolate in sight to plan for starvation but I still worry about this.

What did you do after being fully unspooked?

lived my life unspooked.

It might help to try and figure out what your values are though. Not rules just in general.

"Just be urself" was good advice but it didn't come with Stirners 300 page book

Either you havent or you might want to word express your thoughts differently.

>What did you do next?
Ask yourself what are your genuinue interests and needs and set about pursuing them being conscious that these might change with time

you have only killed your father - heidegger's external 'they-self.' it is time to fuck your mother - lacan's objectified ego. will there be a subject at the bottom backstopping it all? you'll have to try yourself to find out.

You are not unspooked. The idea of rigorously setting aside all ideology to rid yourself of spooks is itself a spook.

Nice post

But do u really think the objectified ego is equated to fucking your mother? Is the mother the object of desire and not the object cause of desire? Wouldn't it be more accurate to "kill your father"?

Sorry dude, you are still down the rabbit hole. This is not the answer. Don't worry, I am still in the rabbit hole with you, just not quite as deep.

The statements that you should look at most critically:
>I've managed to set aside all dogma and ideology.
>I feel like my desire for guidance and a code / life philosophy is a weakness.

These statements are not some kind of answer and also contain a contradiction. You go from the false claim that you "set aside...", to the more uncertain and true confession that you "feel..." The question you ask "What did you do next?" and "What did you do after...?"-- that's you looking to us to give you yet another code to run through or an ideology to ground you.

Your conception of the world is also sort of problematic. Bluntly, it feels like you are talking about the world the same way that high school Great Gatsby essays talk about "society" without really understanding it. The guy in this thread who hinted at Heidegger was right. I recommend you look to Heidegger for a bit.

Good luck on your journey, you are not as far as you think you are, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It is a worthwhile journey.
