Episode Synopsis

Episode 1-138 — Nature, Illusion, and Truth
What if your search for truth started with the forest—not the feed?
In this quietly provocative episode, Master Steenrod examines nature as a Daoist testing ground for reality, and contrasts it with the illusion cycles of modern social media. From ancient practices like Biguan to the digital age’s disorienting effects, this conversation weaves timeless Daoist insights with present-day relevance.
We explore:
Why nature is considered a manifestation of the Dao

How illusion thrives where truth has no feedback loop

Daoist views on death—and why they still chase immortality

The emotional damage of living in purely social constructs

Whether modern minds are even capable of using technology wisely


A vital episode for those feeling disoriented in today’s noise—this one’s about finding clarity in the unchanging rhythm of the natural world.
