- I thought this was an interesting take on Taoism in technology.
- Western tech takes a reductionist approach to efficiency.[er]
- How fast/cheap/direct can you get from point a to point b.
- Taoists also value efficiency highly, but instead of blasting through things with force and will, seek to flow around and through obstacles by attuning to the specifics of what's in front of them.
