a lot recommendations here are good.
But also "Entertaining Ourselves to Death" is great for the intellectual decline.

Not OP. I hate having unfinished books laying around. Better to skim them and train yourself to speed read.
'Start with the greeks' might be academically sound but getting into Aristotle's are really slow going. Homer, Virgil, Ovid, are also a departure from modern formats, but once you get into a focused rhythym with them, they can be very enjoyable. I like going through two books at once, one for whatever is conducive to work and another to relax before bed with.

>How do political artists deal with this conundrum, that the people who are actually receptive to their politicized art are the people who already agree with them, and those who are of the opposite conviction dismiss their works out of hand? I've had this theory myself that political art is more of a way to signal one's "virtue" and loyalty to one's ideological comrades, a way to strengthen in-group camaraderie, rather than a way to convince anyone despite being, on the surface, targeted "outwards", but I'm curious if you guys have a different understanding of the matter than I do.

that´s ideology for you

Why not? It’s sensible.
> May the powerful win.
Rather, may the most persuasive in this sensibility win.

>Read the damn book.
The book doesnt say anything about being able to rape or not. In fact Stirner's ideas are in favor of rape as long as you enjoy it and dont feel like its a sacred obligation just as anything else. Thats the true liberating affect of Stirner.


>Sexually motivated assault is bad for everyone involved.
Not for the person who rapes.
>Maladjusted sociopaths should be treated and prevented in sane society.
People already kill eachother for sport and animals in cold blood while never being diagnosed for sociopaths, even in a "sane society" all it takes is a guy with having a psychosis to eventually rape some woman.
>That you’re uncertain about this is certainly troubling.
For you.

>Reading 20th century philosophy

The bourgeoisie are simply acting in their own economic self interest, just as it in the economic self interest of the proletariat to oppose the former. Each class works in its own self interest, there is no reason to hate them for it. But that does not mean you should stop working in your own self interest as a class.

Marx himself said this.

then why Nietzsche never acknowledge the influence Stirner had on him?
