Mencius: Emperor Trump and His Mandarins

I've rewritten a blog post from 2017 based on my series reading Mencius. It discusses something that I'd say involves the 'dao of government'. What do you think?

I'm adding the link in a comment to prevent the post from getting bounced by an bot moderator. Unfortunately, there's no way for me to pin the first comment in a subreddit, so you may have to hunt around to find the link.

What is a Hermit?

People sometimes find it odd that I call myself a hermit even though I live in the city, have a wife, etc. Here's an old post from my previous blog that explains what's going on. I'll put the link in the first comment so the moderators won't bounce the post.

Dao, Li, Dharma, and Eusociality

I just posted a recycled article from my old Daoist Hermit blog. In it I talk about the similarities I find between modern biology and Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. I'll post the link in the comments section so I don't get dumped by the moderators.

Liezi, Mental Bandwidth, and the Patriarchy

I just published an article on my blog where I discuss a passage from the Zhuangzi about a key part of Liezi's realization as a man of Dao. I'm not going to post a link on this post, because it appears that the automoderation on Reddit is deleting posts with links. Instead, I'm going to post the link on a comment. Here's the promotional image:
