Is there an ulterior motive to the Tau's Greater good?
The Tau's Greater Good, while presented as an altruistic philosophy aimed at uniting various species for mutual benefit, can be seen as having ulterior motives. Critics argue that it serves as a tool for the Tau Empire to expand its influence and control over other races, often through coercion or manipulation. This expansionist agenda raises questions about the true nature of the Greater Good, suggesting that it may prioritize Tau dominance over genuine cooperation. Ultimately, the concept can be interpreted as a veneer for imperialistic ambitions.

Do taoists believe in contraception?
Very interesting question. When Tao was established, there was no contraceptives yet. For Taoists Sex is just a matter of balancing the Yin and Yang. "Yang or element of expansion in them is too much developed. Are they exceedingly irritated? the Yin or opposite element is too much developed. When those elements thus predominate in men, (it is as if) the four seasons were not to come (at their proper times), and the harmony of cold and heat were not to be maintained; would there not result injury to the bodies of men?(4)" So for the true practitioner of Taoism, maybe, they don't use contraceptives, like condoms or spermicides. They rather wait for "safe period". Or maybe they have some natural contraceptives; Papaya seeds perhaps? = Papaya =
Women in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and other parts of the world have long used papaya as a folk remedy for contraception and abortion.[citation needed] Medical research in animals has confirmed the contraceptive and abortifacient capability of papaya, and also found that papaya seeds have contraceptive effects in adult http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papaya

Taoism- following nature
Confucianism- following justice and do all things for the benefit of others
Taoism- no government- it disturbs nature
Confucianism- government is needed to create laws that benefit the people
Taoism- focus on ones inner nature, said to come from the incomprehensible and nameless flow of nature (called Tao) from which all things come and return
Confucianism- focus on righteousness for the sake of righteousness
There is so much difference in these writings. Best thing would be to read the writings to see for yourself- The Tao Te Ching is one of the most popular sacred texts ever written (besides the bible), and the Analects of Confucius are writings by Confucius dealing with all his ideas (hard to read, but worthwhile). Some translations are easier than others- I only began to understand a tiny bit after reading multiple translations (particularly of the Tao te ching).
Taoism was founded by Lao Tzu (Laozi), when he wrote the Tao Te Ching, the first Taoist scriptural work. It is not known precisely when this happened, but it was some time during the fourth, fifth, or sixth centuries BC.
The legend is that Lao Tzu, as an aged man, was leaving the country where he worked to retire. He arrived at the border riding an ox, with a sword strapped to his side. The border guard recognized who he was, and prevailed upon him to write a short text containing the ideas he thought most important. This Lao Tzu did over a period of three days. He then rode off into retirement.
Did Confucianism told people to turn to nature and the tao?
No. Confucius was an avid supporter of bureaucracy and highly structured society. His philosophy emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His beliefs conflicted in many ways with Taoism.
