Social Interaction

“In reality, we are not autonomous, self-sufficient, purely rational individuals but emotional pack animals, intimately dependent on other human beings at every stage of our lives…This aspect of wu-wei—its dependence on social interaction and shared values—is something that is generally overlooked by modern scientific treatments of spontaneity, and it’s a critical omission.”

~Edward Slingerland, Trying Not to Try: Ancient China, Modern Science, and the Power of Spontaneity
