Read it /philosophy/. Especially if you've also read Stirner and other pessimistic works such as Schopenhauer, Cioran, etc. It also would be helpful to have knowledge of evolutionary theory.
It makes me cry tbh. But probably the best 21st century philosophy book I've read.

Oink oink. We're animals, porkies that aimlessly scatter, eating, eating, eating.. with no point to it. All of us, glorified pigs. Now, aren't we, aren't you, such a porky?

I wouldn't say Stirner is a pessimist. Rather, he'd have to be a very naïve optimist to think his brand of philosophy would ever work anywhere but inside his own mind. And the milkshop tale associated with him very much corroborates this.

Reading it now after seeing this post.
Very good book. It's a nice coalescence and breakdown of ancient and modern philosophical thought in regards to the progression of the pervasive thought that humans are different from other animals.
