Philosophy I disagree with 2J about ego death

[Tabula Rasa]

I don't really have a negative perception about the ego or believe it something to be killed. On the contrary, it's something I place great importance in. Over the years I've becoming increasingly grounded in my own individuality as I slowly disengaged from society and other people.

Without the ego you lose a lot of your self-identity and a way to differentiate yourself from others. You'd be just another cell amongst the mass of humanity.

I think @TenzenT would agree with me here.

I think that we are all confusing terms here, and that's why I would like to clarify things. My "ego-deaths" should be better called "seeing through the illusion of a centralized-self or soul that is in charge of everything with supposedly absolute free-will", which confirms for me the grounds of psychoanalysis; we are indeed split subjects. The ego is just a part of this system, and it is of course you! It is a part of you, you are that! This set of experiences is what makes you unique; no other human being has the same genetic configuration nor has gone through the exact same experiences as you, I mean, the probability for that to happen must be very low. Therefore you are unique!

In fact, one of my most viewed threads says:

Essay - Self-love is the best kind of love there exists. [INCELS AND EVERYONE, GET THE FUCK IN NOW!]

"Why?! Why dear men?! Why to love an ungrateful and unsensitive bitch out there when you can love yourself?! Why?! Why dear men?! Why to give the world to some ungrateful and unsensitive bitch out there when you could give the world to yourself?!" Preface Even if you're chad:chad:, I ask the...

Connect with people who resonate with you no matter who they are, where they are, no matter how, but connect with them.

Let your heart and mind lead you to those who are truly worthwhile.

Go towards those things that your heart and mind have always wanted to go.

Why is it necessary to write a book on self-love?

To masturbate our ego into thinking we are doing something important.

FOLLOW YOUR NATURE.
If your nature is to chase women, chase women. If it’s to be a celibate hermit, be a hermit. If it’s to be a successful entrepreneur, engineer, or doctor—so be it. Be as you are. Rest in the 'I AM.'

You can't "kill" the ego, better said, you see through the illusion of self to observe that it is a part of you! It is not the complete package in other words. It doesn't have to define you completely. This story that you tell yourself about who you are, even though it is a part of you, it shouldn't have the power to define who you are to become or what you should do. This is the only key difference, it isn't the end of all, but the start of something new.nI say this because sometimes self-identity gets into the way of happiness maximization, and that's why a re-evaluation of beliefs is necessary.

Further expanding myself on this point. You cannot kill Ego, you can only "transform" it, as its main function is as a survival mechanism for the body-mind system as a identity carrier. There is just transformation of psychological identity. "Detachment" is the last thing the mind-body system wants, as it represents the psychological death of the system that is supposed to keep the body surviving by the construction of a story based on experience. There can only be transformation of the psychological story in order to maximize happiness and fulfillment by removing all of the psychological neurosis caused by thought and past experience.
