Yes these are majorly mentioned in Mctb2. I agree that teachers are valuable. Still I believe a person can go a long way on their own.
There’s a lot more information available today than ever before and it’s remarkably easier for a capable mind to move forward than the traditional secretive way of teaching.
I agree there are dangers, but I believe that many people have already started their journeys. (cryptic but leaving this unexplained) also I believe the community members are already overqualified to handle some of the chaos they might encounter.
The no-gain schools are annoying and muddy the goal. If you are not about any gain or progress then why do you call yourself practicing? Obviously there’s some subtle goal you are moving towards. The Taoism schools of “just give up there’s no point” and, the “you are already enlightened” schools, have useful information but that’s not it. No one is done when they first say “yes I am already enlightened”
At the same time I don’t see an ongoing debate about branches of dao being much use here.
