The Tao says: “The Great Mother is empty yet inexhaustible.”
Lloyd Dobler says: Cool, but try telling that to the Algorithm in a long swinging red tie.
In this chapter, Lloyd reads Chapter 6 of the Tao Te Ching and wrestles with what it means to let go in an age where everything is engineered to keep you holding on. From AI hype and Trump-era theatrics to the quiet rebellion of washing one dish instead of arguing about it online, this episode finds softness in the absurd.
It’s part satire, part guided meditation, part Gen X therapy session for life at the edge of empire.
From the edge of empire and the center of self—this is The Tao of Lloyd.
