I've just been reading some philosophy on the side for some years and would like perspectives on how the future could look like. Maybe to find a good way of creating meaning.
I won some coding competitions for blockchain stuff and it naturally relates. I'm also always looking or projects. I also dropped Land a line at one point but not much came from that.

I'd actually say one can always start by reading the first 3 pages of a chapter, then the last 3 where he always summarizes his strongest points, and then go read the full chapter.
Mind you, he wrote this 170 years ago in a non-existing German state as we know it today, before all left- and right movements as we know them today. I find his ramblings on the state and communism and socialism too long winded. Would be cool if there was a real Stirnerian today with modern context.
Moreover, good parts of the work - e.g. the beginning with the human evolution, young man, old man, eastern men, western men - that's making sort of fun of Hegel and stuff, so if one doesn't know that, that will fly over ones head. Of course, a 170 year old text that's written as casually as Stirners book will probably contain hundreds of references to things back then that are completely lost on any of us. Sad, really.
