The Tao of Inception

1. The first example of the Tao in inception is how everybody is absent minded. They concentrate on pursuing the money, so they don't notice the damage that the dreams are causing them. But there´s this girl called Ariadne she doesn't care about money, so she is present in the moment. She pays attention to every detail and is the only character that cares about Cobb´s past. Just like the Tao says a person that is not absent minded is present in the moment. This is one of the ways that the Tao criticizes Confucianism, he says all Confucius followers are absent minded.

2. The next is the Tao of Shawshank Redemption. Andy arrives to Shawshank like all the other inmates hes sad, and wants to go out but only because he has a taste of freedom. But many of the old inmates like Brooks don't want to go out of jail because they forgot what freedom was. They don't have the base to the argument. And that´s what the Ying-Yang says, that to know good you need to know bad.

3. The last example is the Tao of The Prestige. In the prestige there is this magician that wants to create a teleporting machine, so he goes to Tesla and Tesla tells him some things are beyond our understanding. But Mr. Anger doesn't understand this because he is absent minded. Tesla believes in Tao ideas that nature is beyond human understanding.

Paradox

These are two awesome paradoxes in inception (I know they only count as one). These are the famous Penrose steps. I know I could just have posted a picture but its inception so this post will be awesome. The Penrose steps are stairs that go in a cycle. The ladders are always going upwards, or downwards, and somehow the beginning is connected to the end, or the other way around. If you think about it's impossible because to be able to connect the beginning to the end the staircase has to go up and then down, or down and then up. That's why it is a paradox it is logical and illogical.

This is a cube, but it's actually impossible. A normal cube would have the third leg (from left to right) on the back of the cube. But its not and the cube doesn't seem distorted or anything, its normal. But still not normal. A very logical, illogical cube. It's impossible but possible in this picture. 

Take a closer look Mr Ferrebe this is not a normal elephant, it seems to be normal but it has five legs and the legs have no feet and the feet appear from no where. It's a very illogical picture even though when you see it it seems normal. Its a paradox possible but impossible a contradictory statement.
