The empirical possibility of being possessed by spooks.

Why shouldn’t one become an ideological fanatic if it is pleasurable and possible? Egoism is obsolete in the face of a state that can incarcerate you. Viewing incarceration as a result of moral failure or viewing it as a result of power dynamics is fundamentally irrelevant, for both the moralist and the egoist can and will be oppressed.

The material permissibility of all actions.

If there is no physical impediment to all the deeds that we oppose, will the whole domain of ethical inquiry not be rendered obsolete?
