Didn’t Stirner spend his ailing wife’s inheritance on alcohol, cigarettes, and his failed business? He’s one of my favorite writers, but I don’t think he was a great husband. Haha.

I was born into extreme physical disability. There was nothing so crushing to me as when I discovered that not only could I not enjoy the same level of 'autonomy' as the able-bodied, but that it was a deliberate choice on the part of my parents to give birth to me. What's more, the rest of you have this bizarre, hypocritical habit of dismissing me as an individual even as you embrace me as a ward.

@@recurringparadoxmy position is I should never have been born because there is no solution for the life I have been made to live. Whatever autonomy I may have has been given to me by society, the very thing that saw fit to allow me to be born as I am. I despise it but cannot survive without it and am granted 'autonomy' only so long as I fit in the box that has been made for me.

Sounds like he's american--minus "cooperation " and spontaneous change. The mistake Stirner made was his belief that ego-tist life would result in the above--when it results in the very opposite! Stagnation and mindless, ruthless competitiveness. A fractured insect-like society adrift with competitive self-indulgent "individuals " who are completely suited more for War and death--or endless exploitation of the incredulous "ego" !

Cool video, great introduction and elaboration on the subject. For me all this complaining people have done in the past about union not being bound by moral or social laws, rejection of natural rights is the whole point or even a virtue of an egoistic union. Also, did you thought about any discord "union of egoists" server? Or any other community based around your channel?

@@recurringparadox cool, it’s called Leftists Fight Each Other More Than Capitalism. In case you’re interested I help out with the Lucky Black Cat channel and write an occasional script for the Mutual Aid Works channel. Different stuff to you but I’m not a convinced egoist nor have I read Stirner. Most of what I know about him comes from you. I am individualist and libertarian to the marrow though. I’d be interested to know what you think of my essay ‘Reclaiming Libertarianism’ and what similarities it has, if any, with your philosophy. There’s a reading of it on Mutual Aid Works or I could send you a link
