+**Finding Your Dao**
 
 As we discuss in the book, linear book narratives have a significant disadvantage of forcing every reader down a single learning path.  While the online version avoids this through the extensive use of hyperlinks, those who hold a physical copy will find this more challenging to navigate.  To partially alleviate this problem, we have structured the text in a "circular" manner, where readers can start at a variety of points, read from there and circle back to the "earlier" material at the end.
 
 We recommend in particular that:
 
-- Those with a primarily topical, political or \textbf{current affairs} interest begin at the beginning of the book, with the preface and read straight through.
+- Those with a primarily topical, political or **current affairs** interest begin at the beginning of the book, with the preface and read straight through.
 
-- Those with a more conceptual, theoretical or broadly \textbf{intellectual} interest consider skipping Parts 1 and 2 and beginning in Part 3 
+- Those with a more conceptual, theoretical or broadly **intellectual** interest consider skipping Parts 1 and 2 and beginning in Part 3.
 
-- Those with a more \textbf{technical}, technological or engineering focus consider beginning with Part 4
+- Those with a more **technical**, technological or engineering focus consider beginning with Part 4.
 
-- Those with an interest in concrete technologies and their \textbf{applications} consider beginning with Part 5
+- Those with an interest in concrete technologies and their **applications** consider beginning with Part 5.
 
-- Those with an interest in real-world \textbf{impact} in specific social sectors consider beginning with Part 6
+- Those with an interest in real-world **impact** in specific social sectors consider beginning with Part 6.
 
-- Those with a focus on public \textbf{policy}, government and social mobilization consider beginning with Part 7
+- Those with a focus on public **policy**, government and social mobilization consider beginning with Part 7.
 
 Regardless of stating point, we expect most readers who find value wherever they begin will find it worthwhile to continue reading, looping back and filling in the theoretical frameworks of "later" parts of the book with the the material that comes earlier.

 Yet despite this deep and persistent division that fueled the Sunflower movement, the overlapping consensus between these perspectives is striking:
 
-1. Pluralism: Both the Blue and Green stories share a strong emphasis on pluralism. For Blue, it includes the multiethnic nature of the ROC, while Greens focus on the diverse influences on Taiwan, including indigenous, Japanese, Taigi, Hakka, Western and new immigrants.
+1. Pluralism: Both the Blue and Green stories share a strong emphasis on pluralism. For Blue, it's about fusing both contemporary and traditional culture (exemplified by the National Palace Museum), while highlighting ROC's role as a cultural inheritor and leader; while the Greens focus on the diversity of those who have settled in Taiwan, including the indigenous peoples, Japanese, Hokkien, Hakka, Westerners, and new immigrants.
 2. Diplomatic nuance: To navigate the challenging relationship with the PRC, both have had to embrace range of complex and nuanced public positions around the security posture of the US and other allies, the meaning of ROC and Taiwan, as well as the concept of "independence".
 3. Democratic freedom: The ideas of "democracy" and "freedom" are core to both ideologies. For Greens, these ideas are the core of Taiwan's rallying cries overcoming both the White Terror and PRC authoritarianism. To Blues, these ideas are core to Tridemism and thus, in their eyes, qualities that a ROC leadership must focus on.
 4. Anti-authoritarianism: Both are deeply concerned about growing authoritarianism in the PRC, especially in the last decade with the failure of the "One Country, Two Systems" formula in Hong Kong.
