Epictetus talks about him a handful of times. while I haven't read it, Oxford also has a book of quotes and anecdotes of Diogenes' life, so I'm sure that would be chiefly helpful

>>22019959

Diogenes was pretty based but he was also jacking off in public and eating in the market square and didn’t really explain why

>>22019959

become a recluse and learn how to dumpster dive. practice fasting(because you want the food you do have to last as long as possible)

you could probably carry a laptop around but it would eventually get stolen unless you go up into the mountains or into the woods far away from people

you go to city every two weeks to find(two weeks worth of food)

>>22020147
I was with you until you mentioned Bertrand Russel.

>>22021168

thoreau's lifestyle was completely impractical for people who don't have rich friends whose property they can live on

food grows on trees in that part of the world, like... everywhere. also he is invariably depicted keeping the company of dogs, I doubt it was for companionship...

The subtle art of not giving a fuck and the stare of the psychopath( or something like that). And the monk who sold his Ferrari,.
The mainly ideas together forges my egoism.
