What does “practice not forcing” mean when empire kicks down the door?
In Chapter 3 of The Tao of Lloyd, Lao Tzu’s wisdom — “The Master acts without doing anything” — collides head-on with the modern empire.
From ICE raids to Steve Bannon’s third-term fantasies, Lloyd Dobler wrestles with what it means to “practice not forcing” in a world addicted to control.
Through the lens of Wu Wei — the Taoist art of letting go — Lloyd examines protest, power, and the woman in the polka-dot dress flipping off a police van.
Along the way, he invokes Rosa Parks, Fred Hampton, Audre Lorde, Greta Thunberg, and Colin Kaepernick as examples of alignment without aggression.
Featuring a guided meditation on composting your ego, Chapter 3 invites you to stop forcing, start flowing, and maybe — just maybe — give fascism a one-way ticket to the trash heap of history.
From the edge of empire and the center of self — this is The Tao of Lloyd.
