Fichie’s comments from the Pewdiepie Book Review 2025 group.

Reading the introduction by Robert Wilkinson helpt me alot with situating the verses!
Especially, quote: "The text is in philosophical terms a summary of conclusions. The arguments on which they are based must be sought elsewhere."

These chapters are so highly condenced, only pure beauty remains! So there indeed is alot to unpack.

Would it be somthing to make some topics under the January Discussion here in this group? Are there people intrested in going a bit more in depth on the contents of Toa Te Ching? I would love to see how other people interpret the concept of Toa for example. Because it's so abstract right? It's just, "the most nothing nothing can be, the Path".
So amazing to see that concept giving birth to so many ideas that contest their own existance in a way.

In all honesty, I went for the paperback with the prettiest cover I could find.

There's a lot of fun to be had in comparing versions and it might help with the collective understanding of the transcript.
Looking forward to read everyone's opinion and ideas on the matter ^^
