It’s ironic that Digenes’s fanboys (like the fanboys of stoicism), use his example as a model to better integrate, cope, and succeed in postmodern late-capital society.
Modeling one’s self after Digenes without being homeless is like modeling oneself after Michael Jackson without being able to dance.
Digenes looks down from eternity and invites these posers to get fucking wrecked.
I think about, “behold, man” when anyone mentions Diogenes.
According to Diogenes Laërtius’ third-century Lives and Opinions of the Eminent Philosophers, Plato was applauded for his definition of man as a featherless biped, so Diogenes the Cynic “plucked the feathers from a cock, brought it to Plato’s school, and said, ‘Here is Plato’s man.’ ” When asked about the origin of his epithet, cynic deriving from the Greek word for dog, Diogenes replied that it was given to him because he “fawns upon those who give him anything and barks at those who give him nothing.”

Everybody acting like if he existed today he wouldn’t be villified for his actions
One day when a few people were throwing bones at Diogenes as they would to a dog, he got up and urinated on them like a dog.

Noone mentions Sam O’Nella Academy’s introduction to Diogenes?

Remember when base meant vulgar?
Pepperidge farm remembers.
I have no idea what it’s supposed to mean now?
Being unapologetically genuine. Not necessarily rude, but honest with your beliefs despite what others might think.
