About this listen
Rigidity, Influence, Tribalism, Nostalgia, and Finding Taoism in Real Life
This Ask Me Anything episode answers listener questions from around the world, each one pointing to a deeper human tension beneath modern life.
We explore what the Tao Te Ching says about rigidity and death, and why flexibility is treated as a sign of life itself. We talk honestly about social media influencing, where it helps, where it harms, and what happens when identity becomes performance.
We look at why everything feels politicized now, how tribalism forms, and what Taoism offers as an alternative to hardening into sides. We also address the quiet loneliness of practicing Taoism in places where belief systems feel polarized, and how to find real connection without labels.
Finally, we explore nostalgia and memory. How Taoists hold the past without living inside it, and how remembrance becomes grounding instead of restrictive.
These are not abstract answers. They are human ones. Grounded, lived, and meant to be carried into daily life.
