S2. Chapter 5: The Tao of Lloyd | Does the Center Hold?
Manage episode 517043647 series 3668034
Lloyd Dobler cracks open Chapter 5 of the Tao Te Ching and ends up between Lao Tzu and Yeats, trying to breathe through the noise of late-stage empire. It’s a mixtape meditation on balance, burnout, and what it means to “hold the center” when every voice is a megaphone pointed at itself. From baristas on Adderall to monks in Margaritaville, Lloyd searches for stillness that isn’t performative—and discovers that sometimes the center only holds when you stop trying to own it.
