Hi all, I'd like to propose a self-criticism game with our dear but old daoism. Don't you think parts of what is considered as daoism are proved wrong ? More importantly what did the 2000+ years that happened since the early books have schooled us ? I'll start with waidan (external alchemy). As -to my knowledge- nobody never became immortal in the physical world (except Duncan McLeod and co, but they ain't daoists) and that branch of daoist alchemy seems extinct to me. I may take some time to bring up some pieces of healthy doubt to us all. That'd be my pleasure to try. The unhidden goal is to deconstruct daoism and separate Dao from ism, as any ism have been proved wrong in history. I mean wrong as an entire, monolithic truth as they (dogma) are supposed to be. I would find very curious (not to say dubious) that it isn't the same about daoism.
