Virtue ( Te ). This is of course not the nonsense that is usually meant by that term, but the natural, authentic virtue Lao Tzu described. It is essentially an understanding of Nature and and a willingness to set aside delusion in light of that understanding. It is knowing what Reality is and how to...

Taoist Guy
Alright, I'm the Taoist Guy. Ask me questions, ridicule me, praise me, ignore me, or do whatever you want to do. But expect nothing, and be prepared for anything.

Hey Dan - A Pooh-Poohing of Academics for ya
Here's a thread you might like. After a couple of introductory rants, it lampoons academic philosophy and perhaps makes a few interesting points.

I agree with most skeptical comments about IQ. I do know my own IQ and I used to take considerable pride in it, but I got over it. I know people with higher IQs who are essentially idiots. In the same vein, I also know people with lower IQs who are quite substantial thinkers. Ultimately, I also real...

Spinoza was a good philosopher who had a lot to offer. While I would agree that he was too concerned with speaking the academics' language, his logical precision and commitment to rigorously establishing his premises was admirable.

However, our disability program for the poor is not very generous - I have a feeling that one can do m...

Electrical shocks. Seroquel. Zyprexa. Depakote. Once they have turned you into a medicated, zapped out zo...
