Bio

Revolt against the docile morality the calcified remnants of bygone philosophers contrict us. Demand back your chains and live not for such intellectual indoctrination but for what you know is true, your individual and egocentric experience.

Favourite Philosopher

Nietzsche, Max Stirner

Favourite Quotations

"Against that positivism which stops before phenomena, saying "there are only facts," I should say: no, it is precisely facts that do not exist, only interpretations..." - Friedrich Nietzsche

"Where the world comes in my way - and it comes in my way everywhere - I consume it to quiet the hunger of my egoism. For me you are nothing but - my food, even as I too am fed upon and turned to use by you. We have only one relation to each other, that of usableness, of utility, of use." - Max Stirner
