I’m a Zen glitch in the algorithm of American nostalgia—half koan, half vinyl record spinning in a microwave full of manifest destiny; a Taoist whisper duct-taped to your doomscroll. https://taooflloyd.com/
Lloyd Dobler (yes, that Lloyd) guides you through 7 affirmations and the beautiful chaos of trying to find inner peace while the empire has a very public nervous breakdown.

I’m not saying: tune in, turn on, drop out.
We missed the Summer of Love and came of age in the Winter of Reagan.
We got tuned out, turned down, priced out.
So now?
Let’s quit what’s killing us and find a way forward—with purpose.

Think of this podcast as a punk-rock, Zen-soaked rejection
of the bullshit we’ve been fed since 5th grade—
standing for the pledge of allegiance in husky jeans,
waiting in line for government cheese.

’Cause trying to muscle your way through empire
is like trying to win a mosh pit with a résumé.
I’m not here to fight the machine.
I’m here to unplug it, flip it off, and leave it on the curb with a note that says:
“Do not reincarnate.”

The Tao of Lloyd blends politics, culture, and resistance
into a slow-burn soundtrack for the end of empire.

To fight Trump 2.0, we need strategic disengagement.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Ch. 30:
“Violence, even well intentioned, always rebounds upon oneself.”

And me?
Now middle-aged. Fictional.
Yeah—let’s just say it:
I know I’m not real.
You know I’m not real.
But neither is money.
Or America.
Or your professional identity.
That’s just ego in business-casual.

This moment:
A slow-motion collision between fascist cosplay LARP and a melting popsicle of empire.
And this podcast?
