  1. Starețul Dionisie de la Colciu: Mândria e arma cea mai puternică a satanei Dacă reușește ispititorul să bage în sufletul fiecăruia dintre noi egoismul, de-acum se dă la o parte, căci toate cele rele le faci tu singur. Dar să ne rugăm la Dumnezeu, pentru că „inima smerită Dumnezeu n-o va urgisi” 👉 c.aparatorul.md/6i2ie 👈 #Arma #ceamaiputernicăasatanei #copil #CuvinteDuhovniceşti #Egoism #Inaltare #Inimă #Mândria #mandrie #Părinte #patima #Satana #smerita #...

  2. @AlexanderKingsbury yes that's usually the answer of #rich people: no answer, they just care about themselves X-D and it's exactly this kind of #money induced #egoism that will destroy #mankind X-D

  3. RE: planetearth.social/@aboutzoos/

    #Humans and #evolution are an often debated topic: Do they live for #egoism/#selfishness to maximize their own and their families' #success, and thus are constantly #competing? Does humanity, through its constant drive for #competition, ultimately hinder itself, or is the secret to human success its capacity for #cooperation? It seems to be both, but I fear with a tendency toward the former. But read the essay by J. R. Goodman (2026).

  4. #AynRand’s original introduction to The Virtue of Selfishness is now online--and it directly contradicts most of the claims people make about her #ethics.

    If your picture of Rand comes from social media threads, YouTube rants, or second-hand “hot takes,” this is the text that breaks the spell.

    Let’s clear out the biggest straw men right away:

    • ❌ “Rand said selfishness means hurting people.”


      No. She argues that rational self‑interest forbids coercion, exploitation, and parasitism. Predators aren’t “selfish”—they’re short‑range, self‑destructive, and irrational.

    • ❌ “It’s just an excuse to do whatever you want.”


      She draws a hard boundary between whim and #reason. Her ethics demands long‑range thinking, integrity, and principled action — the opposite of impulse.

    • ❌ “#Objectivism celebrates cruelty.”


      The introduction explicitly rejects cruelty as irrational. Benevolence is not only compatible with #egoism—it’s a natural expression of a rational, confident person.

    • ❌ “Rand denies moral principles.”


      She denies sacrifice as a moral ideal. She does not deny #morality. She argues for a code rooted in reality, reason, and the requirements of human life.

    If you want to understand the argument instead of the mythology, read the primary source--it’s short, sharp, and surprisingly accessible.

    Read more for context on the full book, editions, and themes.

  8. The human concept of self is degrading in an acidic environment. Accumulative hostility toward the concept of self-ownership builds
    brick by brick the tomb of the individual. Rhetoric designed to chisel at our autonomous self-worth is serving only the cause of power - power that is eating its own vascular system: a metaphor for the consumption of the unique self-creating 'I'.

  9. @Fishercat @siderea Vance is #owned by oligarchs, the state of 100% immunity and his own inflated #egoism. His is #dangerous.

  10. Max stirner spoke of spooks to make a point. As a neurodiverse queer person you are expected abide by norms invented by people who aren't you. Be that "no stimming, eye contact, no infodumping, etc" Neurotypical and cishet norms don't work for us. We need a system of norms that works for us! Not them! #queer #neurodiverse #fuckoffpatriarchs #bigotry #maxstirner #egoism #stimpunks

  11. In order to escape coercion you must reject the spooks in your mind. Religion, the state, family, and group mentality impedes you from understanding who you are as the unique. Raise above artifical restraints to become your whole authentic self. ✊️

  12. People demanding trans people to CW their posts for transjoy can go fuck themselves. If you hate trans people, block me and delete your account and go back to /pol/. #trans #lgbtqia #anarchism #egoism #anarchy #leftism #blockme #communism #socialism

  13. "Human nature" arguments against anarchism essentialize humans into robots with cogs. We are not robots. Don't claim you want a state then get mad when the state fucks you over because the "evil human nature" didn't work they way you wanted.
    The problem is the system, not human beings. Please stop blaming humans when you force them to act like this.

  16. I'll probably never put a gender flag in my pfps because I literally feel no sense of gender to the point where I don't even want people to know what gender I was. I want folks to see me as a human being. #agender #transgender #egoism #stirner #anarchism #lgbtqia

  17. Nearly every argument against anarchism can be reduced to human nature or claims of utopia.
    Almost all human nature arguments can be debunked by pointing out how humans aren't greedy mofos who kill everyone all the time.
    Utopian arguments can be debunked by pointing out how assuming that a statist society is necessary is like saying allowing people to be abused is necessary to stop crime.

    In these situations, people are triggered or taught to hate in many ways, such as telling others that they are wrong and seeing our own views as being at odds with alternative views.

    Some other examples include seeing issues as having two sides, placing people into categories, and censoring or "canceling" others.

  21. Why are there so many people who are selfish and lack understanding?

    Why do so many want more and more and more?

    Why do many see the problems but don't tackle them?

    Why are we heading towards an abyss but instead of slowing down we accelerate?

    Just why?

  22. “Arthwait was in the fetters of his own egoism; while he pronounced himself father and grandfather of all spiritual science, in language that would have seemed stilted and archaic to Henry James, or Osric, and presumptuous in the mouth of an archangel … He wanted to evoke the devil, but was terrified lest he should be successful. However, nobody could be more pedantically pious than he in following out the practical prescriptions of these absurd charm-books.”

  23. CW: I made a video on how equality sucks actually

    [alt-text for thumbnail: it is the blue words "commie against equality" on a brown 2d wooden background next to an equality symbol with an ancom red and black circle with line through it over it. ]

  24. Our good friend and #AntiPowerHour co-host Cory Massimino has a *brand new* podcast with @C4SS titled “The Long Library” with influential market anarchist and left-libertarian Roderick T. Long on his various writings spanning over four decades. 🏴

  25. I'm in a mood and desire to get back into #philosophy

    Any recommendations for modern #anarchist #leftist #technology #transhumanist #Marxist #egoism #nature #antifascist #history #historyofideas #epicurean #nuclear #ageofinformation #internet #Christianity #Atheist #computersciene

    Books? I'd really like a modern take on egoism that isn't saturated in fascist/libertarian thought because I personally think it makes more sense in a leftist context than individualist mythos
