Have the school marms all left? OK, then, kewl! Now we can git down to bidnizz, eh? The thesis here is that Max, he ROCKS, eh!? Here's a lil Q.E.D on that:
"What Stirner proposes is not that concepts should rule people, but that people should rule concepts. The "nothingness" of all truth is rooted in the "nothingness" of the self, because the ego is the criterion of (dogmatic) truth. Again, Stirner seems closely comparable to the
Skeptics in that his radical
epistemology directs us to emphasise
empirical experience (the "unmediated" relationship of mind as world, and world as mind) but leaves only a very limited validity to the category of "truth". When we regard the impressions of the senses with detachment, simply for what they are (e.g., neither good nor evil), we may still correctly assign truth to them. In place of such systems of beliefs, Stirner presents a detached life of non-dogmatic, open-minded engagement with the world "as it is" (unpolluted by "faith" of any kind,
Christian or
humanist), coupled with the awareness that there is no soul, no personal essence of any kind, but that the individual's uniqueness consists solely in its "
creative nothingness" prior to all concepts."

Don't go tellin the commie-*** PC types, er nuthin, but, like, Q.E.D, eh?
The clincher is this here: John Lee Hooker done said the same damn thang, only he didn't use no big-*** words, just tunes.
