Hey /His, I just got into Diogenes, can you guys tell me a little about him? It seems like he was a brilliant man that didn't give a shit about social norms and just did as he pleased.
Can we have a circklejerk on Diogenes here? I just got a new job and I'm prettty comfy right now, :)

Why didn't Alexander just kill this asshole when he had the chance?
>>3266446
You don't kill your Idorus anon, poor form
>>3266446
>"If I weren't Alexander, I would wish to be Diogenes."
badly translates into "I want to murder this arrogant old cunt"

>Plato & Diogenes talking about the concepts of things
>Plato says that before any object existed, the concept of the object preceded it
>for example, before the cup in front of them was made, it's 'cupiness' preceded it
>Diogenes says it sounds like a crock of shit, Plato just says he's stupid
>then Diogenes said that since the cup was empty, how did the concept of emptiness originate?
>before Plato could answer, Diogenes reached over and tapped Plato's head
>"Found it"
How will Plato ever recover?
>>3266463
Plato absolutely BTFO
>When someone thinks diogenes is "le stick it to the man meme man" because they've never read the cynics.

he is the definition of "le stick it to the man". I'd honestly like you to explain how he isnt. His whole thing was "Im not going to suck these fine nobleman dicks just for some comforts, plato is a tool of the establishment peddling nonsense, this is what a real philosopher that lives by his words looks like."
