What if wisdom meant laughing at the universe — and yourself? In this episode, we wander into Zhuangzi, the ancient Daoist classic that turns philosophy into play. Written over two thousand years ago, it's filled with talking trees, dreaming butterflies, and paradoxes that make even logic smile. Through humor and wonder, Zhuangzi teaches that freedom isn't about control — it's about letting go, flowing with life's endless transformations, and seeing the world without rigid boundaries. Whether he's poking fun at Confucians or questioning what's real, Zhuangzi reminds us that truth can't be caged by words. It's not a lecture — it's a cosmic laugh that echoes through eternity.
