I've read The unique and it's property but I'm still not sure what ownership actually feels like in everyday life.

For those who identify as egoists, what does ownership feel like to you? Is it a mindset or something else?

DISCLAIMER: I AM AN AMATEUR IN BOTH SUBJECTS PRESENTED IN THIS POST.

So Buddhism would likely be considered a spook in an egoist framework, but I've been thinking lately about the concept of Anatta, or "no-self". On the surface, the idea that there isn't a fundamental self may seem incompatible with egoism as well. But some secular Buddhists consider this to mean that there is no *permanent* self, that "who we are" is a construct affected by things like our environment and even deliberate efforts to train ourselves--a conclusion that is supported by neuroscientific evidence. So under this framework, while there's no permanence to our identity, we can still be motivated by our desires (either descriptively or prescriptively), and furthermore, we can change ourselves to better fit our own desires. This, to me, is reflective of a Stirner quote;

“I am not nothing in the sense of emptiness, but I am the creative nothing, the nothing out of which I myself as creator create everything.”

In (my understanding of) Buddhism, people are led astray by the stories we tell about ourselves--our identity, our attachment to which we must overcome. In an egoist framework, people are also led astray by stories--or rather, justifications for why we do what we do. To me, this implies the Buddhist notion of Anatta is compatible with egoism--one might suggest that identity itself is a spook! And meditation as a practical exercise for psychological and physical benefits is almost certainly compatible as well. What are your thoughts?
