Is Eastern philosophy superior?

This oversimplifies things to the point where it's meaningless.

Taoism is individual while Platoism is universal.
"Adapt to external changes" is basically Stoicism.
I could go on but the thread has already started with such a retarded premise.

Hahaha, aren't you something! But in all seriousness, the Western-philosophy-is-superior-meme is also kind of lame.

Western philosophy does deal with some stuff that Eastern philosophy does not seem to handle, but I am a pleb so what do I know.

Eastern is better for reflection and better understanding on a broad scale. Western is better for practical everyday use in a narrow sense.

taoism is identical to stoicism

Those are very uncharitable generalizations in your pic.
