But isn't that dude all about ending suffering? The Daoists are the ones who actually like suffering and pursue living naturally. Like the Stoics, or a hardy Christian. And Calvinists, don't get me started on Calvinists. Those guys are freaks. That's a whole other thing.

Perhaps I should have stated that these examples like what comes with suffering, or that they are not trying with all of their might to avoid or reduce it, to be clear. Buddhism is a shitcoin in my opinion.

That's useful for reducing suffering and for surviving with it for sure. But then what? I love the original joke btw, "I like my suffering RAW" well said lol
