Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Fun but silly and reductionist. Daoism could be any of the four colors depending on how you think about it.

The Way is just the way, soft-supernatural determinism, life is without inherent meaning.

Or, The Way is the objectively correct way for things to be, and they suffer when they deviate from that, which they are allowed to do. Objective, probably supernatural too to make sense.

Fully supernatural, one could view the Way as descriptive of the flow of the mystic energy, split into Yin and Yang, whose combined interplay forms the universe, and "flowing" with that energy is the Way, which is also the meaning of life.

Or, The Way cannot be told because each being has it's own Way which can only be found through experience. The Way is Subjective, but still True.
