Interesting post. I agree with some of these values. Not being stupid or a herd animal in particular I would say I believe in

I will say Anton seems to fundamentally misunderstand solipsism. A solipsist would not project onto others and assume they are similar, they regard anything outside the self, including other people as potentially figments of their imagination. A solipsist makes NO assumptions as to the nature of other people, not even assuming they actually exist outside of your mind.

Did you just.... quote wikipedia like socks did????? YOU MUST BE A SOCKS ALT!

I think it just goes to say that everyone can make things up or interpret things the way THEY see and preach it hard enough unto others and they'll follow, nevertheless rather fascinating things he's written and done, if I can get hold of any of his works.

I'd say that's one of the sins I do not fully understand and don't believe in because it didn't make sense to me and still is a concept I've yet to get better grasp of.

Nah that was my own quote, I really do read philosophy all the time, I just wanted to link to something so people can see I am not just making this up

If you wan't to better understand Lavey's philosophy, I recommend looking at the sources he cobbled it together from.

This particular work, Might is Right, by Ragnar Redbeard was particularly influential. (its short, like 100 pages)

He was also influenced by some occultist figures, but I am much more familiar with the philosophical sources he borrowed from

Well now I have another book to set out on a journey to find in my country because I like physical books.

Yeah me too, but I'd have to spend a ton of money to replicate my online library with physical books, maybe someday i'll complete it. I commend you on your physical library collecting
