Yeah, it feels like an accurate and succinct description of what hippies are (anecdote: my grandfather was at Woodstock and he’s pretty cool). Not saying I endorse it, but there are certainly some good aspects.
I’m not sure and it would be interesting to find out if being a hippy seriously messes up a fraction of people who try it and we just don’t hear about it due to selection bias. My guess is that this happens, especially with drugs.
I like the description of hippies as people who iterate really fast on psychological practices!
So, “move fast and break things”, but with your own mind?
