How do I learn wu wei, chuds?
>>
Perceive the inherent vibe and flow of each situation and just ease into it, bro. Notice when you're swimming upstream and when you're just chilling and riding a wave. Trust your own instincts over hearsay and rationalizations.

Start by eating that animal half-raw in a thin soup

Learn when it's time to act, and when to sit on the sidelines.
When humans have a problem, they think they need to do something. Often this makes it worse. You should only act when good results seem likely.

the wu wei that can be taught is not the true wu wei

Study Confucianism then go from there

Wu wei doesn't mean sitting around on your ass because your fag anxiety would act up if you actually had some skin in the game.

Its effortless action or mastery. It means you've practiced so intensely and trained so rigorously that in the even things seem easy.
It is literally the exact opposite of what you and the other room temps think it means.

Confucius admired Lao Tzu and frequently mentions the philosophical concept of the Dao (道) in his works
>>

>Confucius admired Lao Tzu
There is no evidence of that.

The concept of Dao is not an invention by Lao Tzu

Having said that, Confucius embodied Wu Wei, so reading and understanding him would no doubt help.
