EnTao’ed

Having been made aware of, or given, by the Tao (by the Tao). E.g, writing on the topic of the Disease Diathesis*, Diamond notes “We are Given the desire for the disease – and so the disease. And, at times, if so enTao’ed, the cure in one form or another.”

Commentary: Pronounced “endowed” (Tao being customarily said with an initial d), and partly referencing that word in its conventional sense, the term comes out of Diamond’s fully deterministic worldview: that everything is is the Tao, and that therefore everything that we do, and that happens to us, and that we are given to understand, are all the workings of the Tao. See Determinism*.
