I'm not so familiar with anarchist thinking, so it kind of surprised me to learn about Stirner's "egoist" worldview and philosophy. He takes it to its logical conclusion, which is to be free of any morals and consideration for others, to serve one's self interest as a goal in itself. In a way it's refreshing to hear it expressed so directly, because it does seem like an attitude that's fairly common, maybe even as animal instinct. It helps to contrast and understand my own values and perhaps wishful thinking that humanity can grow beyond it to a holistic philosophy of living together.
