Wes Cecil on Max Stirner

Cecil, in his Youtube video on Stirner claims rightly that freedom for Stirner is not asking permission to do what one wants to do. Freedom is not an abstraction, permission given from outside the subjective individual.

I mostly agree, but as an objective individualist, I would argue that freedom is mostly self-willed, a mixture of following personally held values, personal preference , societal laws, and objective moral dictates stemming from God. This freedom is mostly but not entirely absolute, and mostly is without external qualification, but not entirely.
