Jake is currently thinking about ideal agents, such as the spirit-person (shénrén 神人), in the Lǎozǐ (老子) and Zhuāngzǐ (莊子). He focuses on their agency, perception, cognition, emotion, sensation, and behaviour. Jake foregrounds the agentive and psychological implications of praxes such as fasting the heart-mind (xīn zhāi 心齋) and sitting and forgetting (zuò wàng 坐忘).
