Taoists dont believe in non action, they believe in not acting before nature. Its such a varied religion with so many different sects and beliefs that its hard to nail down

Nah, taoists do stuff, they just try to act in harmony with nature.

Zen Buddhists are the OG NEETS, they literally sit in their parents basement doing nothing.

A lot of present day NEETs are not NEET through choice.

To compare the two is completely stupid and short-sighted.

I dunno, the Wudang Monastery involves a lot of training & studying of the Tao.

NEET means Not in Employment/Education/Training remember?

But yeah, The Conservative Confucian Scholarly classes tend to see Taoists (and Buddhist Monks) that way. Whenever Taoist Mystics aren't leading silly cult revolts that is.
