If you want to learn Taoism, study it. Become it.

I know that I don't have an in-depth understanding of Taoism.
Regardless of that, the point that still remains is that Taoism teaches that the fundamental level of reality is characterized by a perfect order, not disorder. You view the opposite to be true (even though you're a Taoist), because you said that the beauty around us is more property existing in a strange and "disorganized pattern." That goes against the teachings of Taoism, the same philosophy that you claim to profess. And you haven't provided a solution nor a clarification to this contradiction yet.
^ You dodged this single point twice, by simply saying that I don't understand Taoism. But I'm predicting that you'll probably dodge this one once again, making it the third time.
You're making a claim based on your understanding of Taoism. If your understanding is wrong, the claim is wrong. Telling you that you don't understand Taoism is addressing the point head on. And you admit you don't understand Taoism. So calling it "dodging" is just an insult and a loaded mischaracterization.
Now fuck off.
