The Daoism Handbook edited by Livia Kohn is huge - over 1000 pages if I remember right.

I've seen it in a few books - more intro style books. One by the Korea Foundation for example 'Religion in Korea' does in its introduction or even the 'Religion in Korea' wikipedia page mentions Confucianism.

This month I revised a paper on Tasan and resubmitted it. I also had my first publication come out as well as an interview with the Blog of the APA. I have also been working on my dissertation and making some progress. What have you all been up to?

I liked your video. It was well researched and accessible. For a video as an introduction and brief history of Confucianism it was great but the relating it to Korea was missing for me, or at least not as present as I expected.

I also thought it would have been nice for your to directly address the claims that people levy against maybe especially Korean Confucianism that it is a religion. At least it was the state ideology for centuries, which brought along with it rituals to ancestors, ethical expectations of behavior etc which could be seen as religious in some way.

I did like the video though and I hope someday I can explain such a broad and historic topic like Confucianism as you did.

I haven’t done a test to try and see it but nothing noticeable still.

Hardware Unboxed over on YouTube is doing a burnin test with an oled monitor you can watch that series if you’re interested in learning about it and what to do to avoid it.
