The Taoists observed that humans tend to act in ways that are counterproductive. And in their attempts to alter the natural way, they only make things worse. All these strivings, rules, ethics, values, surely are invented to benefit humanity. But according to the ancient Taoist sages, we should get rid of them all.

Human creativity and to an extent human social evolution has always been based on the idea of looking at what is deemed unnatural or impossible and figuring out how to do it anyway.
Taoism on the other hand is a hypocritical extrapolation of the idea often expressed as
"If I was meant to fly, I would have been born with wings."
Which is easily countered with
"If you are meant to be a fuckwit, why were you born with a brain?"
