I think the problem with most let's-call-them laid-back philosophies that emphasize a natural relaxed life, is that we'd most probably be living in a state of nature to this day if we followed them. It's hard to imagine Diogenes being a futurist or transhumanist. We can benefit from their wisdom, but adopting their ideas wholesale will probably halt all progress!
Zeno of Citium
That guy's from the same town I'm from! I expect you to treat him kindly in your future posts! :P
Well not surprisingly Zeno had similar reservations of Diogenes' thinking. Must be something in the water of Kition!
