Abstractions And Stirner

Stirner ordered that we follow no abstractions, and that all ideas that we think up, should be devoured by us after we think of them, or have no further use for them. The purpose of this was to destroy them before they became a monster, an ism, a cause outside of us that we end up worshiping.

Stirner was too extreme an individualist. I cannot accept that the individual is to worship himself and is the center of all things. I want people to live and maverize, but not by self-worship, but still think, abstract, socialize, join some institutions and some group-living.

Abstractions and aristotelian logic are useful if they are not converted into some sacred cause that we obsess over as groupist extemists, maddened and dangerous towards dissidents and unbelievers.
