      Published my quotes/notes/excerpts/etc from Rene Girard's "A Theatre of Envy" about the concept of mimetic desire. My intent was to make a digestible version of the book. I AM NOT MAKING MONEY ON THIS.https://medium.com/@jordantsack/a-theatre-of-envy-essentials-4204b308e16b …

      This was a difficult one to do as it's a commentary on another book.. so it's 90% direct excerpts from the book. The concept mimetic desire is absolutely worth learning about. Let me know if you like these short book summaries, and I'll keep doing it.

      Published my notes/excerpts from C.E. Shannon's "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" This was another very difficult one to do, however, it is beneficial to get these ideas out there.https://medium.com/jordan-t-sack/a-mathematical-theory-of-communication-notes-edc1b08ee489 …

      This post contains excerpts, notes, from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching". This book changed the way that I view the world in many ways. If you don't have time to sit down with the whole book, these excerpts meant the most to me. #philosophy #buddhismhttps://medium.com/jordan-t-sack

      Laozi is Taoism. Zen is Taoism mixed with Buddhism, which is why you see some weird contradictions in Zen. The good parts are Taoist.

      Personally I find zen at times hollow, whereas Taoism has a sort of appreciation of the grandeur I find refreshing. I think all 3 contain wonderful lessons.

      Zen is identical to Taoism. Except the parts where it pays lip service to Buddhism for political reasons.

      Would you put Suzuki and Laozi under the same umbrella?

          Shunryu. They're very similar, but they (Zen, Taoism) seem quite distinct to me.. maybe its just the tone of the koans they use. I definitely feel a different understanding between Lao/Shunryu. Where do you see zen paying lip service for political reasons? (Genuinely curious)

          Tao of Zen is a must read regarding the history of Zen and how it emerged from Taoism.https://twitter.com/MimeticValue/status/999118179434680320 …

          Buddhism was known as Neo-Taoism when it first came to China. Everyone thought that Bodhidharma was a student of Laozi, who disappeared to the West. See Tao of Zen and the Intro to certain translations of Zhuangzi and Tao Te Ching. https://amzn.to/2rZ5wYI

          Then, starting in the late 1800s, Zen and other forms of Buddhism were "modernized", which meant combination with Christianity, Progressivism, and Secularism. This is also a must read on that topic:https://vividness.live/2011/06/16/the-making-of-buddhist-modernism/ …

          What people think of as Zen or Tao in the West, it's about as authentic as Chinese food in America. It's orange chicken, broccoli & beef, and other things that you wouldn't see in Asia and weren't practiced as such traditionally.

          But that's not to say the traditional way was better, not that there was even a singular tradition. There were a lot of weird superstitions and authoritarian control, and sectarian conflicts prior to the modernization as well. Things were very complicated.

          The Suzukis were Buddhist Modernists. Look at koans attributed to Ikkyu or Joshu. Also read Zhuangzi. Each has their own distinct styles, but they point to the same thing.

          Will check out. As a western reader, can't help but feel lots is lost in the translation of characters, as Japanese contains many embedded philosophical concepts. This is true in Spanish to English as well (to a lesser extent). Considering taking up Chinese, Japanese.
