>I’m like very personal moral project oriented right now

It's been a while, but I recall the main point was to drop 'social morals' and adopt personal virtues. Supporting why you should do this and some benefits is covered in detail.

​

Regarding the bigger question "Why we don't see the other's point of view": I think we assume the other wants what we want out of the relationship. Meanwhile, men and women are different so want different things. Example: The whole 'female social matrix' is just not a male concept, like at all. Men don't take this into account, not really. And the woman gets mad that the guy doesn't 'just get' how every social outing is important.

Genders are weird.

There’s a bit to unpack here, but this sounds mostly like a laid back guy in a fucked up world that has let that world rob his confidence. Here is a little secret that not many will tell you - forget the propaganda and “the greater good”. Your happiness and your life should come first to you. Anyone that is truly happy lives this way.Take control of your time, don’t do shit you don’t want to do to make others happy. I’m not saying to be a dick, but stop being so quick to do what you are told and start doing what you want.

Here’s a book suggestion: Book

> your reasoning opens a can of worms, which leads to much deeper issues than the ones you described.

I'm always game to get to the root.

> This applies to absolutely everything, including the concept of private property - and it is one of the primary objections communists make to capitalism. They state that private property is an abstract concept existing only in human minds, and that by default nothing belongs to anyone, so everyone is free to take whatever they want.

...

>In anarcho-capitalism, what legitimises the concept of private property? Nothing, really,

...



>My point is, absolutely any concept concerning human interaction has to be grounded on some abstract, unjustified truth.


I've never heard a commie make that argument, but it is position taken by egoists which I (provisionally) am. I will see if I can find a post where I outlined my views of property that got me banned from a centrist political sub.... Here. I think that addresses most of your comment.

> As such, while I see where you are coming from, I don't think your criticism is exclusive to statism; it applies to virtually all models of societal organisation,

Stirner called them spooks and tried to rid his thinking of them. I'm interested to hear your challenges.

> except for the pure "animal kingdom" anarchy, which eliminates the concept of "legitimacy" altogether. One could say hence that the "animal kingdom" anarchy is the most authentic and objectively-grounded system, but it is probably not the best one for the average human to be in.

That is a decent introduction to Stirner's egoism and a decent imitation of the tone that his opponents take against him. If you want a practical guide to egoism consider reading Harry Browne's How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World. Amazon.com

Michael Malice has made references to Stirner and seems to be an embodiment of his spirit.
