Weekend Check-In: Back To Basics
from The Modern Taoist Hosted by Kit Mann
This Is Not Just a Philosophy Podcast A lot of people listen to shows like this one the same way they read books they find interesting. They take something in, find it resonant, think about it for a while, and then go back to their lives more or less unchanged. The ideas join the collection of other interesting ideas and none of them do very much. Kit Mann is not interested in that. In this weekend check-in, Kit makes the case that Taoism is not a philosophy to be appreciated. It is a way of moving through an ordinary day. And the ordinary day is the test. Not the podcast. Not the meditation cushion. The Tuesday morning when something goes wrong and the reaction rises before the response has a chance to form. The conversation that starts to become an argument. The moment you realize you have been somewhere else for the last twenty minutes while the person in front of you was still talking. The question this weekend is not whether you find Taoism interesting. The question is whether it is changing anything. Follow The Modern Taoist so you don't miss the full Tuesday episodes. And if you know someone who finds this interesting but hasn't made it personal yet, send this one their way.
