the passages dragging Confucius and denigrating him in comparison to Lao Dan are very funny, as is chapter 10 (if this were published as a contemporary essay, the title would probably be ‘Against Sages’ or ‘Against the Pursuit of Wisdom’)

life-changing footnote on page 143 (it’s the one commenting on the parable about whether it’s possible for a person to understand the happiness of fish, and more generally if one’s own subjectivity/perspective makes it possible to understand other people’s perspectives)

I know this seems like an embarrassingly minute update, but I did make it past the (thoroughly entertaining and poetically written) 37 pages of translator’s notes
