Jünger and Max Stirner

I would like to mention that Jünger was talking about NPCs before it was cool.
>During these past years, solipsism has emerged as a particularly difficult hurdle in the evolution of my thought. This is not only a product of isolation, it is also related to a temptation to embrace misanthropy, a trait that one cannot resist strongly enough in oneself. When surrounded by these crowds who have renounced free will, I feel more and more alienated, and sometimes it seems as if these people were not even there or that they were merely specious outlines constructed of half-demonic, half-mechanical materials.
He goes on more about solipsism:
>Active solipsism: the power that lets us dream the world. We dream ourselves into health or death; if we could dream more powerfully, we would become immortal. That is seductive, yet you always have to think of the dangers…
from A German Officer in Occupied Paris (p. 94)

Evola actually wrote an entire book on Jünger (L'Operaio nel pensiero di Ernst Jünger) in 1960, with enough ancillary material to form another essay essay collection a few years ago (Ernst Jünger: Il combattente, l'operaio, l'anarca). It's important here to distinguish, as Evola did, between Jünger's ideas before and after WW2 - the former, especially The Worker, being an influence on Ride the Tiger, the latter being rejected as 'liberal' and 'humanistic' (qv Path of Cinnabar).
