U should share. Sounds interesting. Don't know a thing about taoism.
Ppl accuse Buddhism of being a death cult. Butt I think it's misunderstood and warped by malevolent ppl just like any other knowledge or belief system (religious or scientific).
Stick to the 4 noble truths. 8 fold path. And learning different meditation techniques without pressuring urself to fulfill some grandiose cosmic purpose and take a bunch of vows as a shortcut to enlightenment (at least right away) and you'll probably be fine.
If u wanna iceberg Buddhism
This channel is shit butt I like their historical analysis, overview of several traditions. And their overall positive vibe. It could be AI brainrot tho.

Tho he don't really talk about the basics.
What I have gained from Buddhism is actually a longer life. More compassion for myself and others. The ability to find joy amidst great suffering. And a greater tolerance to pain and this chronic illness which is crippling me. Laughed my ass off so hard at just being stuck in bed covered in sweat for weeks. Because that's not even a marathon for me anymore.
I would have offed myself a long time ago if I couldn't find meaningful interaction with others and give a shit about them. I was, am still quite psychotic. Butt the meditation helps keep the lolcow mind in check. I'm even coming to terms with my obsessive attachment to death and annihilation.
Butt like right now...taking the self outa the picture. There's just contentment in being. Absorbing and processing information. And forgetting. And just experiencing. Understanding. Becoming. For *cough*
the me anyway. Or at least as ego less as it gets for now.
P.s. what r thots with dog clickers? Some kinda pavlovian conditioning? U excited the curiosity.
