Taoism is NEET philosophy
Taoism wants you to drop out of the rat race and become a NEET. This does not mean the stereotypical reclusive NEET you might think of. But rather a "normal" NEET who does not hide from society but takes part in it while avoiding the competition of normal people, the rat race. Taoism stresses that uselessness and usefulness is a pointless human made idea that doesn't reflect the true way of heaven. And in order to become a part of the way again you must drop the false human ideas.
This is the sum of Taoism as was told in the book Zhuangzi.
I believe that Taoism is the NEET philosophy because it stresses dropping out of the rat race and becoming a NEET. Confucius on the other hand wanted people to continue the rat race.
