"The special trait making me an Anarch is that I live in a world which I ultimately do not take seriously. This increases my freedom; I serve as a temporary volunteer."

Ernst Jünger, Eumeswil (1977)

The question is only where one draws the line between what is ultimately "my business" and "none of my business" (as Max Stirner, one of Jünger's models in Eumeswil for the figure of the anarch, might have put it.)
