These guys push it to far. They have this idea and they take it beyond its practical limit.
But most have an idea that is still worthwhile understanding and is useful. IMHO-
I’m a fan of the band RUSH. I have no doubt that Neil Peart read Diogenes work. One of my favorites songs is “Cygnus X1-Part 2, Hemispheres”. It starts off with everyone living in the cities and being productive. But that wears off, so somebody guides them out into nature where they can live free and follow their hearts. That turns out poorly.
The summary of the song is balance between the heart and mind
“Armed with sense and liberty
With the Heart and Mind united
In a single perfect sphere.”
