Practical in principle, but it only works if both parties are at that concenus. Unfortunately, with MAGA and the far right, the answer is no 😢😢😢😢😢

What you’re seeing and hearing is basically pure Taoism as a talk. They even mention Alan Watts. Neither left nor right wing. I’m happy someone’s listening to this talk for the first time. It’s like 4,000 years old. That’s awesome, because the world really needs to hear this stuff!!!

It is left wing. Taoism and conservatism are in direct contradiction to each other. That is my understanding from the doa dejing. It was written as a political commentary on powerhungry people. It was also written in a time where you could not openly comment on those things, so theyve hidden it. I find it very concerning that you try to say its not political.
@halovsbionicle

Personally I’d concede that everything is political, but thats also cuz politicians always want more control, regardless of which side theyre sitting on
Additionally in a vaccum taoism seems conservative… until you contrast it with its contemporary of confusionism. From my own research confusionism seems to preach, above all, ones duty to their fellows and the community
I think its a hard ask to get people to believe that anything can be more right winf than confusianism
I could be wrong though

Really appreciated this conversation as I’m ‘Wintering’ the loss of my Mother. Along this path I encountered how difficult it was for a few people to just express condolences, sympathy & basic human support for naturally grieving.
People are numb and on auto pilot and afraid to listen, be present and vulnerable. Thank you for sharing your lives & wisdom🙏🌟🫶

So important! Empathy in hard conversations isn’t about fixing or avoiding—it’s about presence. When we hold space without judgment, we give others the safety to heal and the courage to keep going. 💖

Everything gets easier when you take the viewpoint of a disinterested obaerver of your own suffering. Any problem looks smaller if you look at it from further away. Zoom out. The universe is beautiful. 😊
