A #shorts analysis of the 'me- my soul" memes depicting the soul as an anime girl. I relate this meme to Jung's Anima concept, or the psychology of the feminine soul.

What is the Tao of the Boomer? A look at the connection between Boomers and the Tao. Taoism relates to Boomer memes in several surprising ways, a fixation on energy, comfort, a powerful inaction. We take a look at the Tao te Ching and see how Boomers have become enlightened, while Doomers are left nihilistic life deniers and Bloomers remain misguided busybodies. Go beyond OK Boomer, see why the Boomer says OK. The Vinegar Tasters The vinegar tasters is a classic motif in Eastern religious art, it depicts the three great Wise men from the East, Confucius, Buddha, and Lao Tzu, each tasting vinegar from a bowl. Confucius frowns, for the bitterness of the vinegar does not please him, he thinks it should be sweet. Buddha is expressionless, realizing that the bitterness of the vinegar is just a part of life’s suffering. Lao Tzu smiles, realizing the Vinegar tastes exactly how it should. Wu Wei Wu wei, or “do not do” is the divine inaction of Taoist sages, this also tends to be the role of the boomer in memes, essentially disinterested in the problems of the world. "Heaven and Earth are not humane. They regard all things as straw dogs. The sage is not humane. He regards all people as straw dogs. How Heaven and Earth are like a bellows. While vacuous, it is never exhausted. When active, it produces even more. Much talk will of course come to a dead end. It is better to keep to the centre." - Translated by Chan Wing-Tsit, 1963, Chapter 5 "Heavy is the root of light. Stillness is the master of impatience. Thus the wise man travels all day, but does not leave his wagon. Although there are glorious sights, he is relaxed and proper. Why should the Lord of 10,000 chariots conduct himself lightly under Heaven? Lightness leads to loss of roots. Impatience leads to loss of control." - Translated by Karl Kromal, 2002, Chapter 26 Our Discord: https://discord.gg/C2HUXcB Our Subreddit: https://reddit.com/r/MemeAnalysis/ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MemeAnalysis Instagram: @thegoddisk + @snazzio ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGU5btB40nI
