Was Diogenes of Sinope the most based philosopher of Hellenic times, or just a beta contrarian?
>Lived in a clay tub, exposed to the elements with dogs
>Cast aside all his material belongings
>Would frequently eat in the marketplace despite it being against custom
>Masturbated in public
>Defecated in the theatre when he didn't like the play
>Pissed on people that displeased him
>Frequently trolled Plato and his pupils, the dominant philosophers of the time in Athens
>Walked around in the daytime with a lit lantern, looking "for an honest man"
>Might have even talked shit to Alexander the Great
The stories about certainly are amusing, to say the least.

That part always made me wonder, why did the Athenians and Corinthians never do anything about him? Was he viewed as harmless and not deserving of any punishment for his deeds?
