S2. Chapter 2: Solving for X in the Algorithm of Empire
Lloyd Dobler reads the Tao Te Ching, Chapter 2, and muses on letting go, fascism’s feedback loop, and why even your trauma has a subscription plan.
Lloyd Dobler returns with Chapter 2 of the Tao Te Ching and asks what it means to let go in the age of algorithmic empire. From Overton windows that can’t see healthcare but can see ICE signing bonuses, to the strange calm of wu wei in a world built to monetize trauma—this episode drifts between meditation, rebellion, and satire.
Part spiritual transmission, part mixtape rant, part guided non-meditation for people who meditate badly.
So sit still. Or don’t.
Either way, you’re one paradox closer to peace.
