Gah!

I don't know about scavenger hunts, but clearly I should /not/ write papers after doing so much math--this is all coming out as a logical argument, but using the comfortable mathematical expository style I like, and I keep having to change "we" to "one"...

or I could attain the Way and my paper will spontaneously generate itself?

Seriously, which is harder, 取道 or to write something comprehensible about the 道德经?

In a way, it feels kind of like missing the point to write something comprehensible about the 道德经...

So even if I could read Chinese characters they don't show up on my computer...but I'm guessing ??? is the Daodejing?

[pastwatcher]

Right--though the "jing" seems not to have come out on my computer as it should have. You probably /can/ see it if you view the page with the character encoding "Unicode" or some Chinese simplified or something, though.

Exactly!!!

What's wrong with "we"?

[pastwatcher]

It doesn't seem right in a humanities paper...
