>writing as you come up with the story hoping that it will have enough substance to get to around at least 200 pages
I don't have the patience to nurture around the entire idea for another half a year, so I threw the newborn in the ocean for it to learn how to swim by itself
This thing should have stayed a short story

Neither of you ever read Stirner and all your knowledge of Nietzsche can be summarized by his Simple English wikipedia page.

god what a fucking drudge this is but I will not let another hack do it

Life is finite and relatively short. We all have to make decisions as to how we spend our paltry amount of "free" time and it's only rational to apply a conscious selection bias that would result in higher statistical chance of finding something that would be of utility to oneself. For whatever reason women and minorities struggle to produce noteworthy literature in non-negligible quantities and trudging through masses of contemporary literary works at any given time is ardous work of searching for needles in haystacks. So it's entirely unsurprising that people opt for the surest path and there is nothing inherently wrong or immoral about it. Also dilate.

>How can you "annihilate" something that doesn't exist?
lel I 100% knew this was what he was gonna argue but didn't want to spoil it

Yes yes technically ego doesn't even exist in the first place so yes yes technically you can't annihilate it. Thank you for the input, based Buddhism-knower.

>Also don't include Zelazny, it's not very good.
Lord of Light is fine viewed as fantasy

RH Lafferty is when not fully sci-fi closer to tales than fantasy but may fit.
Perhaps Rabelais.
Chretien de Troyes & other arthurian fantasy (T H White's Once and Future King)
Lewis Carroll surely counts?

I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

My sister is trying to read through Freud's entire corpus, which apparently is a massive undertaking. Is there any particular reason for someone to do that today, especially a woman when Freud is so incredibly sexist? She seems to think there's validity in psychoanalysis, but I don't see it.
