I don't understand it, but you have no worthwhile arguments against Egoism

>>23017801
I don’t need an argument I just believe whatever I want.

>t.

>>23017771
looks like a pretty obvious joke poking fun at arguments about perfection

>>23017824
No, he’s saying some existentialist shit about the self being created by the self, hence the last line about being both the creator and the creature in one.

>>23017846
it looks more like
>the self is assumed for the recognition of self to be possible
rather than some literal
>i am creator
which is why I said it reads like a joke about arguments about perfection

>>23017858
Fucking poes law right here

>>23017858
No, he’s saying that he’s creating himself every time he exists.

>>23017861
He explicitly called his work a big joke you fucking retatd

>>23018182
Jokes can be true too. It's even funnier that way.

If I understood correctly:
I assume that I am ("start from an assumption in assuming myself").
For that I need to be capable of assuming, which for that I need to "be"("...and exist only by consuming it" "but that I consume myself means only that I am").
Thus I create "myself" by assuming that ("because in each moment I am really setting up or creating myself for the first time", " I am creator and creature in one.")

He's just saying that by assuming that he is, he can validate his existence.

It's Jewish art.

>>23019561
But then he says
>I do not assume myself, because in each moment I am really setting up or creating myself for the first time, and am only I, not by being assumed, but by being set up, and again set up only in the moment when I set myself up;

Self-consciousness that is fully in possession of itself as Spirit is absolutely its own and for its own self and nothing beside. It has only to seek out and syndicate with others that are/have this property of being in fact. The partial and beknighted Other of 'insufficient reason' is beyond consideration much less 'recognition'. One is a holos, the many other are aggregates such as require The State and 'historical development' to drag them towards the finish line by the whip hand of Absolute Spirit.

So, a penis. Why are Jews so gay?

>>23018745
The statue’s existence preceded its essence.
