zhuangzi was a fag and so are his fans.
read mencius and zhuangzi side by side. the difference in caliber is obvious. only the lobotomized postmodern westernist who cling to their stupid interpretation of easter thought as a way to feel superior to the rest of the western world can fall for it. it's true that Zhu Xi said that zhuangzi knew the way, but only an enlightened scholar like Zhu Xi is able to separate the good from the bad in zhuangzi. people who lack filial piety should never read him.

“This prophetic prattle imagines that it resides at the center of things, indeed that it is profundity itself, and, viewing determinateness (the ὅρος) with contempt, it intentionally stands aloof from both the concept and from necessity, which it holds to be a type of reflection at home in mere finitude. However, in the way that there is an empty breadth, there is also an empty depth, just as likewise there is an extension of substance which spills over into finite diversity without having the power to keep that diversity together - this is an intensity without content, which, although it makes out as if it were a sheer force without dispersion, is in fact no more than superficiality itself…. While abandoning themselves to the unbounded fermentation of the substance, the proponents of that view suppose that, by throwing a blanket over self-consciousness and by surrendering all understanding, they are God’s very own, that they are those to whom God imparts wisdom in their sleep. What they in fact receive and what they give birth to in their sleep are for that reason also only dreams.”
