    The Fr*nch bastardized the concept of wuwei and called it laissez-faire. Wuwei has personal, social, and political dimensions to it while laissez-faire is just capitalists whining about having to pay taxes.

    Western Libertarianism: 1) Destroy all government 2) Effectively legalise murder 3) Accidentally revert to feudalism 4) Whoops

    Eastern Wu wei: 1) Organise self-sustaining governance structure 2) World collapses around you 3) Win?

    Heaven is eternal, earth is everlasting.
    The reason they can be eternal and everlasting
    is that they do not foster themselves;
    that is why they can live forever.
    For this reason sages put themselves last,
    and they were first;
    they excluded themselves,
    and they survived.
    Was it not by their very selflessness
    that they managed to fulfill themselves?

    …

    Very great leaders in their domains
    are only known to exist.
    Those next best are beloved and praised.
    The lesser are feared and despised.
    Therefore when faith is insufficient
    and there is disbelief,
    it is from the high value placed on words.
    Works are accomplished, tasks are completed,
    and ordinary folk all say
    they are acting spontaneously.
