Image transcription: a soyjak with a head warped into an almost spoon-like shape. He has text on his T-shirt that reads: "I love Taoism But I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER drink mercury to unlock the alchemical secrets to immortality". The image has a watermark, which is illegible except for an anatomical figure seated in a lotus pose. End transcription.

I read taoism as terrorist at first and was very alarmed

It’s a Chinese belief system based on living through harmony and simplicity. It usually means “going with the flow” and being chill while respecting nature and living beings.

"Taoism or Daoism (/ˈtaʊɪzəm/ ⓘ or /ˈdaʊɪzəm/ ⓘ) is a diverse tradition indigenous to China, variously characterized as both a philosophy and a religion. Taoism emphasizes living in harmony with what is known as the Tao—generally understood as being the impersonal, enigmatic process of transformation ultimately underlying reality." - Wikipedia
