That is a nice fucking painting.

And just look at that seamless signature at the top.

More like Id'ism. Diogenes was just an unrestrained ID.

Stirner made egoism.

Now we need a philosopher to do Super Egoism and the meme would be complete.

Isn't that just being a huge moralfag?

It would be what you think the all seeing third person thinks is a good person. Disinterested moralism with your own filter as the gatekeeper.

You dummy, the ego stirner talks about is not the same ego Freud talks about

I'm aware Stirner predates Freud and his philosophy was "ego" in the Cartesian sense. I was making a joke since Diog reminds me of an unrestrained ID. I mean he literally jacked off in the street.

Diogenes was the most based human being to ever live.
The core of his cynism (the term has basically nothing to do with what you think "cynism" is now) was that you weren't defined by your wealth, or your role in society, but your OBJECTIVE VALUE OF YOU AS A PERSON, DETACHED FROM YOUR ROLE IN LIFE.

Diogenes would go around with a lamp "seeking for an honest man" but what he meant by "honest" was, a man that wasn't spooked by his place in society, and understood his objective value as a person.
His message was essential, basic, clean in it's simplicity.

To be a cynic you must despook yourself but what despooking yourself actually means, is to look at yourself in the mirror and admit to yourself what kind of man you truly have become.
And if something about yourself doesn't make you happy, you should work on improving it.

Your status in life and your money become accessories that shouldn't define you, but complete the picture of a man that is already happy with himself and would remain happy with himself even if he was homeless, or if any different form of government was estabilished compared to what we currently have.

His "individualism" doesn't mean "fuck everyone else", it's highly focused on self improvement and introspection first and foremost, and learning how to spot other people that are struggling to be honest with themselves and trying to be objectively better people, just like you're trying to do.
