Alternate History: What would have happened if Diogenes moved

>>1783508
Alexander becomes a massive pussy.

>>1783508
End of the world.

So was Diogenes really so famous that Alexander specifically went looking for him? Or did they meet purely by coincidence?

He was basically rival to the most influential thinker since Socrates. We can't understand his exact influence because none of his works managed to survive the ages. But the fact that we remember him anyway is a testament to how much of a hot shit Diogenes would have been in his time.

this begs the question

What if Alexander sought to meet Socrates instead of Diogenes

would Socrates have told him to gtfo his sun -- what would HE say?

>>1784390
He would say "Can you move a little to the right? The sun's fucking with my eyes again."

>Socrates, I conquered a lot of shit. Give me a good quote for my facebook page.
>Why do you seek conquest?

I imagine Alexander would leave in a similar state of frustration, just a bit later.

>>1784390
I like where you are going in your thought friend.

What do you think he said?

What if Alexander met Sigmund Freud?

>>1784424

>Freud finally gets one right

>>1784424
>You want a bigger empire to compensate for something MUCH smaller.
>Hey, fuck off old man

>>1784434
>You want to fuck your mother and usurp your father
>Yeah, and I did, so what?

>>1784390
Socrates was fucking dead at the time.

>>1784390
Probably tell him to put his corpse back in the fucking ground.
