Cringe. What a shit article. Also it's propaganda that reiterates the myth that there are too many human beings on this earth. Also, I wonder what Diogenes would have thought about the modern-day, progressive version of cosmopolitanism. It seems rather hasty that the author equates those two.

And their ecological legacy lives on, too, not only in the likes of Francis, Schumacher, and Hardin (who, incidentally, had four children), but also philosophers like Friedrich Nietzsche and Henry David Thoreau (both life-long bachelors), as well as the Depression-era back-to-the-land couple Scott and Helen Nearing, the Crates and Hipparchia of my native Vermont.

I feel like he could've included Isaac Newton and Baruch de Spinoza here. Newton was a life-long bachelor, and Spinoza lived a simple lifestyle and subsisted on very little food.
