169: How To Be Mysteriously Virtuous [Tao Te Ching Ch.10]

About this episode

The episode discusses the teachings of Lao Tzu on virtuous living as presented in chapter 10 of the Tao Te Ching.

Mostly straightforward advice from our sages is hard to come by. Whether Lao Tzu can be called straightforward is hard to say, but chapter 10 is pretty clear on offering best practices for virtuous living, depending on the translation. Filtered through two socks, we gain a whole other layer of perspective in another empowering episode of Meta-Cosmos! …Hosted by Bartleby and Artemus Neehi. …Produced by Isaac Bluefoot. …Theme Music by Royal Jelly
