Chapter 3 of the Tao Te Ching says this:  1. Not to value and employ men of superior ability is the way to keep the people from rivalry among themselves; not to prize articles which are difficult to procure is the way to keep them from becoming thieves; not to show them what is likely to excite their desires is the way to keep their minds from disorder.  2. Therefore the sage, in the exercise of his government, empties their minds, fills their bellies, weakens their wills, and strengthens their bones. 3. He constantly (tries to) keep them without knowledge and without desire, and where there are those who have knowledge, to keep them from presuming to act (on it). When there is this abstinence from action, good order is universal. Thesis: Interpret the passage. What does it mean? Is it true? Is it a good way to live?

In “Anger, Gender, Language Shift, and the Politics of Revelation in a Papua New Guinea Village,” Don Kulick describes gendered language practices in the village of Gapun. Suppose that time has stood still there and nothing has changed. Suppose too that a woman has spontaneously—without any training—begun masterfully using ambagaina nam (men’s house talk). For example, instead of speaking through the genre, kros, which is closely associated with women and coarsely emphasizes emotion and conflict, the woman speaks in more refined ways that minimize conflict and underemphasize emotion.   Which keyword below most precisely describes this shift in this fictional woman’s speaking practices?
