I don't think I was born this way, just deprived and stunted of socialization. But does something like Stirner's union of egoists appeal to you too?
For me the saddest part is that I have a pocket universe of experiences inside me, and I recognize others do as well, but at best we remain at recognition and respect as fellow universes, maybe some overlaps, never achieve true and full understanding and sharing of those experiences.
I see the pocket universe in you, see its complex majesty. You are a world of infinite diversity, and one day someone will discover you, and both of you will be acknowledged and seen.
When that happens, tell me how you managed it, cuz I'm in the same boat.
But does something like Stirner's union of egoists appeal to you too?
Not particularly, although I don't have a great grasp of it. I don't understand human interaction in general. My ideal life would be as a hermit interacting wordlessly with forest spirits, either real or imagined, as I performed my duties. I see human interaction as an insect-like intelligence dressed up very well. Something governed by chemical impulses just filtered through the ego in order to interact with society. I don't see people hanging and having a good time. I see insect-intelligences forming packs and engaging in bonding rituals. Completely unaware of course, sometimes to the detriment of those insect like goals of survival, but still the same nonetheless.
You shouldn't listen to me though, I'm probably going to have a mental break in a few years. I'm just at the stage of mental deterioration in which the symbols and concepts I use to understand the world are starting to break down in interesting ways.
