He was a philo/math major and was reeeeeeeally into math, and pretty good at it (not a genius but he could handle all the courses at a hard university). He also taught himself Ruby and Rails and all that stuff, and now works in IT after doing a masters for it.

he tried to teach me math a few times but he was approaching it from the angle of someone who 'gets' it

find a gf?

I'm either picky about who I date or not picky at all, depends on the day. I think as long as I find the person somewhat attractive and they find me somewhat attractive it's fine, but I don't really know what that's like. The most important thing is that they are enthusiastic about dating me. The second most important thing is that they don't take life so fucking seriously, which is actually tied for first.

I usually put a low wage under the impression they will be more likely to hire me if they have to spend less. It... Doesn't work like that.

What's min wage in your area? Maybe a dollar or two more. College food places usually pay a little more than you can get from other places.

Well spooks are higher concept than activities. Playing poker, even if that makes you a Poker Player, isn't a spook. Spooks are abstractions that people cede power to by believing in them.

Ironically, if someone body lived their life while being constantly preoccupied with avoiding possible 'spooks', to the detriment of their own happiness, that person would be under the influence of a spook.

Spooks are problematic when our believing them causes us to do irrational things that harm or limit us.

Private property is a spook because because there's no magic force or derive-able proof showing that someone has an immutable claim of owning something because they found it first or bought it. Stirner would say that in reality property is enforced afterwards with force, either personally or on your behalf by the state (ie police come if someone's vandalizing your cornfield or snatch your purse). But that doesn't mean it's a good idea to start stealing corn from people when you're hungry, because the state's violence is real whether or not it's spooky.

Identifying spooks is meant to be liberating rather than limiting, Stirner is just encouraging you to see the world through material consequences and not abstracted ideas.
Ok, so activities are separate from spooks.

Stirner obviously believes reason is an element of the Self since he is already thinking at a social level, and implying that we can do things like behave irrationally. Any philosophy that says we can do things rationally or irrationally is already predicating reason of humanity, so how is that not a spook? But I guess that only matters if it's a bad spook, whatever.

Stirner has the idea that the "self" is indescribable, it can't be dissected. "Spooks" are constructions in the world by people that attempt to define individuals but instead just limit, diminish or control them. The ultimate spook is the idea of society itself.
I see, it might be a bit hard to participate in anything if you view everything as a limitation- I don't see that there would be any worthwhile activities for Stirner since anything you do ultimately just limits the Self. I imagine he has a list of things that aren't spooks, maybe? Other than the self. Given the title of the book, and what I remember from lit, I guess he also talks about property or something like that.

280 pages is a lot >_>

Yeah same.

Yeah I kind of joined the socratic society back in undergrad but ultimately it wasn't very fun. More of a social club than an intellectual group. That's probably different at a more serious university though
oh wow is that a thing? we had a program called The Socrates Project which let undergrads be TA for lower years, in addition to some conferences and stuff. My grades were way too low for me to be in it though, cryinglol.

Granbelm is a mecha anime that aired in Summer 2019 and also aligns with Marth's taste of liking anime that have casts filled with cute girls, so it might be Granbelm. If the recommendation actually came 3 years ago though, then it can't be that. In that case, it might be SSSS.Gridman as someone else mentioned.
yeah it's this, thanks a bunch. and it's on crunchyroll too!
