Comment by Eric Covert (eric-covert) on What Do We Mean By "Rationality"? · 2023-09-18T03:05:31.990Z · LW · GW

This is a reference to Taoism (the tao = the Way). I believe it is a different approach to the tenet I've heard expressed as "The Tao that can be explained is not the true Tao". I believe the reference is meant to remind us that the point here is to end up performing less wrong rational thinking, not just talking about it.
