Is eastern philosophy a meme or real

All philosophy is a meme. You can read it all day long but until you live and learn it the hard way you’re just jerking off.

The Tao Te Ching is not so much a philosophy as it is practical metaphysics, aka magic. A solid grounding in theoretical metaphysics from Kant and Schopenhauer might be necessary as well as a solid translation like Duyvendak's english translation or Waley's.
