Anyhow, if you have ever wondered how horrible a Metafilter post about the Tao te Ching would be, it turns out just about this horrible.

EDIT: Actually, after I posted this the thread resolved itself into a dew, or something, and now everyone is understanding everyone else. I suspect tachyons.

I am going to continue to post here (just remember, fitfully!) so here is my full disclosure: scholarship is NOT what I’m doing here. This is about my personal, fuzzy, squishy, wet human experiences. If this fills you with a crazy rage, please go play some racquetball or something and for all our sakes, don’t read my blog.
