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.
