If we are purely self-actualizing, transsexuality, suicide, and self-harm are Good in an ultimate sense. There's also no basis on which you can establish harm. If I am the center of my universe, I can't believe in an Other. It requires a transcendent reality to bind individuals together.\n\nOne book I think about constantly is Human Forever by James Poulos, which traces the trajectory of atomistic (progressive) individualism to the ironic outcome of erasure of individuality. It's a sobering logic, and one which anarchists are particularly vulnerable to. This is something I'll be arguing specifically against in the book."}
