Are you saying taoism's longevity comes from the application of superior models of physics?

  I'm saying that it's funny how we're coming back round to something that used to be accepted. That makes materialism the abberation, not idealism. This is metaphysics, not physics. Physics is a set of models about what should happen in response to specific events (modelling cause and effect); metaphysics is about trying to understand the nature of reality.

    Even people coming up with stories about greek gods were "about trying to understand the nature of reality.". That phrase is far too vague to be usefull

      sure, but I'm afraid I'm not skilled enough to explain metaphysics in a short form. Perhaps I should just link to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics
