>what is ghostmodernism to you?
A realization that we are surrounded by spooks: people obsessed with things like race, gender, nationality, religion, as a means of avoiding the responsibility thrust upon all of us to see people as more than artificial identity groups: to see people as human beings with thoughts, personalities, families, hobbies, etc.

>caring about "community"

>The opposite end of this, the only outwardly atheist person who I graduated with was caught masturbating in the back of the class at age 17. He was a straight white male and got a full academic scholarship to Brown. But we remember him as the dude who cranked one out in class.

/lit/ got me into literature in the first place years ago and taught me a lot then. Don't really learn anything from this place now, just come for fun.

>Theodor Adorno once admitted to his inner circle that it was Stirner alone who had "let the cat out of the bag". However, he took care to avoid arguing such ideas or even mentioning Stirner's name.
>penguin takes all mention of Stirner out of Camus' Rebel
>Nietzsche's closest friends and other people near to him were perplexed. No one could remember ever having heard the name of Stirner from Nietzsche's mouth. There are dozens of letters in the archives that bear witness to the confusion of his friends. They understood well enough why Nietzsche had been publicly silent about Stirner, but why did he, given his "habitual communicativeness" (Overbeck), never mention him even in the most familiar circles? Only Overbeck's wife Ida remembered in 1899 a discussion she had with Nietzsche about twenty years earlier, during which he unintentionally let escape the remark that he felt a mental kinship to Stirner. "This was accompanied by a solemn facial expression. While I attentively observed his features, these changed again, and he made something like a dispelling, dismissive movement with his hand, and spoke under breath: 'Well, now I have told you, even though I did not want to speak of it. Forget about it. They would talk about a plagiarism, but you will not do that, I'm sure.
>Edmund Husserl does not name him in any of his texts, letters etc.; this, however, not on grounds that he did not know Stirner's ideas or that he considered them insignificant. No, the intrinsic reason, which was passed down probably by accident, was that he wanted to protect his students (and perhaps himself?) against their "temptational power"
>Another case is that of Carl Schmitt, who was ready to disclose something of his secretive relationship to Stirner, kept since his youth, only after being detained in 1946 in a prison of the Allies

What's the big conspiracy of trying to hide Stirner from the public? Why are people so reluctant to name him? Is it because they can't actually argue against his ideas?

I know copyright is a spook but how does it work? For example, is the name Snape copyrighted so that no one else can ever use it?

Why is it important to know that everything is a spook? How does that benefit my life in any way? It's just as useless as nihilism.

>Why is it wrong to seek profit?
Not him but: it isn't. But too often seeking profit is the first goal, even before what should be the prime directive of an organization. Witness this in commercial news industry that sells sensationalism over honest information, to the detriment of the people and the state. Or in healthcare, which is hyperinflated by government sanction to the detriment of the people and the state.

Mental illness is the thing these days.

I got myself a schizoid badge and live the comfy NEETbux hermit lifestyle. Haven't done any slave labour since summer 2012. It's great.

What's the most appropriate philosophical system for a typical ADD-inflicted, talentless 4chan user with no life perspective?

Started writing last November for the first time since middleschool, mostly just sub-25k word smut & romance for the Kindle Store. I finished a 110k word Soft Sci-fi Wish Fulfillment Story that I'm pretty happy with and in the process of editing. I'm trying not to think about how it'll sell so I can't be disappointed.
