In Chapter 17 of The Tao of Lloyd, Lloyd Dobler unpacks the Tao Te Ching’s most unsettling insight about leadership: the best leaders are barely noticed—and the worst are despised.
The episode opens with Lloyd still spiritually bruised from last week’s road-rage failure, before pivoting to a chilling news story about members of Congress being threatened for reminding U.S. service members of their legal obligation to refuse unlawful orders. From there, Chapter 17 becomes a meditation on obedience, authority, and the quieter question we avoid: who’s really driving when no one’s officially in charge?
Blending Taoist philosophy, dark humor, political critique, and personal confession, this chapter explores why real leadership doesn’t shout, why habit is a great deadener, and why any meaningful revolution—political or spiritual—has to start internally.
