The concept “youwei” is the opposite of wuwei.
Youwei means planning, devising, acting, or manipulating. It indicates a desire for achievement and progress.
The word “wei” by itself means “consciousness,” to wuwei and youwei are the two opposite kinds of consciousness (no action versus point of view or action for the sake of society’s goals).
So wuwei means rejecting conditioned behavior and promoting spontaneous (unlearned) behavior.
