Moderation, avoiding extremes, yin and yang etc are core ideas in a lot of philosophies. I am well aware of that. While I can not be completely exhaustive in HN comment, I did point out that my issue is with having a philosophy that predetermines in a generalized way where that golden middle way is. And the difference between seeing it in hindsight and trying to predict it. I do not find philosophies useless, just not recipes for living your life like the author of the article tries.
