I don't think HoTT will get anywhere soon. Not sure what I you mean if I got anything. Also depends on your background. I've written down some general ideas here

and then some more concrete on equality directly to Wikipedia

With Stirner, there are some lengthy parts in the middle that I don't care for too much - nobody needs to argue to me about the minuses (and pluses) of this and that political system. As is often that case with philosophers to me, some long dwelling on interpretations on previous peoples words (in particular when they are dissected word for word) seem pointless.
The book is very funny for a philosophical work and if I'm not wrong, parts of it (e.g. the start with the historical "overview") is actually a direct parody of Hegel, and if you don't know about the Young Hegelians (and I know far too little), then the best things might be lost on you.
Indeed, I think there are strong points, and the memeting /lit/ idea of spooks isn't even the strongest one for me. Stirners concept of property is what stands out. Sadly, I don't think you can find two people who agree on what Stirner says and - even harder - you'll not find someone explaining what Stirners opinion is and other people agree 100% that that's the right reading.
But maybe that doesn't matter - I'm pretty much for the post-structurialist death of the author here and I don't necessarily have to know what he meant.
In any case, I'm off to Christmas dinner. Later

So the opposite of being dissociated would be to have some conviction and higher goal?

What I said just mirrors how I see things, but I don't see anything negative in the things I said, as you seem to imply.

I asked this before, but the thread left the catalog and even the archive before I came back to it in the afternoon:

When I use a laptop and I have the option to have the power plugged in, even though it's fully charged, or when I have 80% say,
should I still do it?
For a long battery life, should I let a laptop run down to a low percentage range
(Which? Should I keep it idle between 40% and 80%?)
and only then recharge it, or should I always plug it in when I can and use it?

I have a PhD in physics and I studied physics because I'm interested in physics.
In an ideal world, university is independent of job education (back in the days mostly rich folks would study, it's a privilege).

Fuck the mass being guided by politics for economic reasons.

If someone wants to study painting because he likes painting, then so be it. The argument that it's useless as far as making money is concerned is "too American" for me.

The reason is because mathematics is insufficient.
Beyond that, empiricism itself is insufficient.
It does not and can not expound upon consciousness, but rather it reduces the concept to physical causation, making the assumption that the soul ("soul" in the hebrew, monist thought) is an illusory idea and that we are merely experiencing the side effects of being self-aware.

Of course, when people come to this stop on the railroad they almost invariably think that they have solved the puzzle, religions are all syncretic phenomena that arise as a matter of course in the search for purpose until we grow out of the need for such a purpose and admit that there is no purpose, after which we can either invent our own purpose or become an ubermensch and get on with our lives.

Let me tell you right now that this is not even the beginning of it.
I know that in your own little sphere of industrial and academic groupthought religion is seen as something that has been deprecated, but the truth is that all serious scholars in this area would be having a hearty laugh at you clamoring pencil-neck weenies right now.
