Zelligism is the self-insert political and philosophical ideology of [[User:ZelligLover109]]
Zelligism is a form of [[File:Philan.png]] philosophical anarchism that emphasizes [[File:Indiv.png]] natural individualism, the [[File:Immorality.png]] non-existence of social ideals, [[File:Anego.png]] the prioritization of oneself, [[File:Post-an.png]] the freedom one already has, [[File:Darwinist.png]] and the natural process of Darwinism's application to humanity evolutionarily and behaviorally.

==Theory==

===[[File:Existentialist Anarchism.png]] Existentialism's Applications to Egoism [[File:Anego.png]]===

Zelligism takes the applications of [[File:Stirner.png]] Stirner's concept of "phantasms", and goes as far to say that they are not only immaterial concepts that unnaturally change human behavior, but also completely non-existent. This belief comes from the idea that concepts like [[File:Morality.png]] morals, [[File:Virtue ethics icon.png]] ethics, [[File:Krit.png]] justice, [[File:Property.png]] private property, [[File:Statist.png]] the state, etc. can all be dictated by documents that certify them or expectations that society upholds, but in the truest form of reality they are nothing but fiction made in the minds of man. Zelligism pushes its narrative so far, that even basic fundamentals in modern society like language, scripture, physics, and mathematics are fictional to the existential egoist. In the grand scheme of everything, no language, math equation, or book truly says anything except to those who understand it. It's like showing an infant that has not learned a single word, written or spoken, a dictionary. The baby does not understand the scripture, therefore the meaning of the scripture does not exist. (Physics is a strange exception, as while the reality of physics is present in our universe through physical means, it is not existent in the terms we use to understand it through equations.)

[[FIle:Nihil.png]] Nihilism fits into this since none of the universe has any inherent meaning with no significant cause. As a result, it can also be concluded that such concepts like morals, ethics, writing, etc. are meaningless. Nothing in the universe has any sort of inherent meaning, and believing that any sort of writing or morals has an objective code or understanding is absurd.

Existential egoism finds the concept of an Earth-centered universe that most religions idealize as appalling. Zelligism takes a more exo-Earthly approach, and focuses on how the universe is not based on Earth solely. To an existential egoist, there is no reason to believe that such concepts like morals are truly an important aspect of life when no such concepts can truly exist anywhere else. Our conscious minds are not an excuse to come up with concepts that can restrict one of their natural universal freedoms.

[[File:Morality.png]] Moralism has no place in existential egoism, as there is no such thing as objective morality or even the existence of morality. In an alternate universe, [[File:Psychopathy.png]] murder could be deemed as an acceptable act, while in our current existence it is deplorable. If these ideas can be existentially imagined, it is easy to conclude this means morality is a figment of man's imagination, and therefore unreal.

Do language, math, etc. shape the human mind like morals do in existential egoism? Yes. They do. Language may allow humans to articulate their thoughts, but they can still be shut down if their words are deemed unacceptable by society's (inconsistent) standards. Additionally, it has its limitations that prohibit certain ideas and create positive or negative connotations in the human mind that should not exist. On the other hand, math has allowed people to understand the universe as we know it, at least according to our (not) existing rules, but it still confines the nature of the universe to a watered-down "routine". On top of that, if a concept in physics, for example, does not meet these set standards, it becomes an "un-explainable" exception that needs to be discovered and the rules need to be mended. The universe was meant to function the way it does, and was not meant to be adapted for the human mind to satisfy its own desires, so there is no reason to adjust it for ourselves.

===[[File:Evolutionist.png]] How Darwinist Theory Can Be Applied to Humanity [[File:Darwin.png]]===
Existential egoism follows the philosophy of [[File:Deepe.png]] Deep Ecology that humans are no better than any other species. Humans believe that they are inherently superior on many aspects because of their sentience, intellectual advancement, infrastructure, etc., but in reality, humans are just like any other species. As such, due to their imagined superiority, humans are inclined to believe they are "morally" above other species, as they care for each other if one is weaker than the other. Not only is this false, but also flawed. [[File:Welf.png]] Welfare creates a world where people simply feed off of life with no value, and can even sometimes prolong the suffering of those who are behind [[File:Evolutionist.png]] evolutionarily. Those whose existences are prolonged and given a chance to "survive" end up hardly, if at all, contributing anything to the natural cycle. Individuals have the given choice to assist another person who may be behind themselves, but it isn't a moral obligation, and welfare should not be present to keep those who are too far gone. There is too much interference with the natural evolutionary and reproductive ways of life, simply because we think it is "morally superior" to allow anyone to survive no matter how disadvantaged they are.

For another perspective that communicates these points (probably better than I ever could), see the Darwinism and Deep Ecology sections on {{SchumaIcons}}

===[[File:Atheism.png]] Irreverence Toward Religion [[File:AntiTheism.png]]===
Existential egoism is a firm believer that [[File:Theocrat.png]] religion is a manipulative, untruthful, and unreal phenomenon that unfairly prohibits one of their natural self-interest and desires. The existential egoist has no reason to believe religion is a factual aspect of reality as all written scriptures dictating religion as a "word of the deity" were simply written by man and are nothing but written mythology that plagues modern society thousands of years later. Religion is used to enforce morals on the individual, attempting to prohibit one of their natural desires and ideas, and if anyone has a "wrong" thought or desire that goes against that code, not only will those in the religion shun them and wish upon them eternal damnation, but that person will be disgusted with themselves as well. Even them, the morals and ideas of religion itself are inconsistent, as many people who advocate for beliefs like [[File:Christy.png]] Christianity will have different ideas of what is right and wrong. Along with that, there are all sorts of religions with all sorts of different truths, that it would be heavily unlikely for any of them to be objectively correct if they were all accounted for. The morals established by all of these religions are simply imagined, which loops back to the [[File:Existentialist Anarchism.png]] existentialist section. Religion also entails an Earth-central universe, which as previously mentioned, is not possible and an appalling thought to believe, as the universe was not created for the sole purpose of satisfying Earthly needs.

===[[File:Post-an.png]] How We Are Already Free [[File:Existentialist Anarchism.png]]===
Branching off of the [[File:Existentialist Anarchism.png]] existentialist section, zelligism believes that aside from ideas like morals and property, the [[File:Statist.png]] state, [[File:Sec.png]] law, and [[File:PolState.png]] police don't truly exist except to those who believe in such ideas. In the grand scheme of the universe, none of these concepts truly exist either, and there is no deeply encoded script in the universe that truly dictates these ideas are outside of the human mind, like morals. As a result, existential egoism is not only against the state, but also doesn't believe in it. Since the state does not truly exist, it means that people are already free. Other species do not have an established statist system and are as liberated as an individual can become, so it is only reasonable to assume that we humans can be the same. The only limits to the human liberation is how much people will be willing to let these non-existent ideas take a hold of their life and suppress their true desires, which aren't inherently wrong or right whatsoever.
