RE: New Libertarian Political Compass
How do you like my interpretation of taoism being pretty much the same thing as utilitarian voluntarism?

Hi @samupaha, very nice article. I'm not sure whether we can call Daoism utilitarian. Daoists, to me, seem to me to be negating the conception of utility - or at least, utility for society in general. This is well exemplified in the story of the tree and the carpenter.
