How do egoists get away with calling everything "spooks" when things like biological sex and race can be proven through material, scientific means?

Egoists don’t deny material reality, they deny **ghost-authority**. A “spook” isn’t “fake,” it’s when an idea starts **owning you**. Biological sex is material, sure. Race has statistical clusters, sure. But those facts aren’t what rule people’s lives—**the narrative strapped onto those facts does**.

That’s the Stirner move. He doesn’t say “nothing is real,” he says **meaning is a possession game**. Nature doesn’t hand you duty. DNA doesn’t assign value. **People smear meaning on you like cursed peanut butter and call it Truth**. That’s the spook: a story with a moral attached and a **gun hidden behind it**.

Science isn’t a spook. **Scientism** is. Identity isn’t a spook. **Identity-worship** is. The world is real—but **your chains are made of stories**. Think *The Peanut Butter Solution*: the curse isn’t the hair—it’s the belief that makes it grow uncontrollably. That’s how ideology works: **fear breeds compliance, and compliance breeds “reality.”**

People cling to spooks because they panic at **raw contact without a script**. So this thread will split like always:

- **Autism camp:** “Lock categories down forever, order me or I’ll disintegrate.”
- **Schizo camp:** “Destroy categories entirely, identity was a CIA op anyway.”

Both get farmed by narratives. The real egoist position?

**Use categories. Never serve them.** Think like a blacksmith, not a priest. Ideas are tools—**swing them, melt them, throw them—just don’t worship them**.

Einstein said he didn’t know what weapons WW3 would be fought with. I do: **WW3 will be fought with narratives; WW4 with peanut butter analogies.**

As Stirner said: **“I have set my cause upon nothing”**—not because nothing exists, but because **no idea owns me**.

Question: if spooks are just stories with guns, why do so many people kneel before them smiling?
