Your Backyard is the Secret to Living Peacefully
Just like any ol’ teenager in the 21st century, I love an excellent quantum walk. (OK maybe not generalizable to teenagers, but the recent quantum hype is real).
Quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, heck — even quantum-blockchain.
What’s better than slapping quantum onto anything? Slapping it onto philosophy! Specifically Daoism.
This morning as I was taking my dog out for a (not quantum) walk, she wouldn’t move! Contrary to literally any other dog, she was not up for a walk. At first, I was like, “ugh, dog, let’s skedaddle, I don’t have all day.”
But then, I remembered the teachings of Daoism. It was a powerful moment. I became one with my dog, and she began to walk. So, if you wanna learn how to walk your dog, or if you just want to become enlightened, let’s learn about Quantum Daoism…☀️
A hasty explanation of Daoism 🏃♂️
Ancient Chinese philosophers (or simply, old Chinese dudes with long white beards that hopped around ancient china on buffalos) were ahead of the curve when it comes to being connected to nature.
Specifically, Laozi (he’s also called Lao Tzu, Lao Tse, and heck we might as well also call him Rick) was the father of Daoism (to make it more confusing, sometimes it’s called Taoism).
