>Alexander went in person to see him; and he found him lying in the sun. Diogenes raised himself up a little when he saw so many people coming towards him, and fixed his eyes upon Alexander. And when that monarch addressed him with greetings, and asked if he wanted anything, "Yes," said Diogenes, "stand a little out of my sun." It is said that Alexander was so struck by this, and admired so much the haughtiness and grandeur of the man who had nothing but scorn for him, that he said to his followers, who were laughing and jesting about the philosopher as they went away, "But truly, if I were not Alexander, I wish I were Diogenes." and Diogenes replied "If I wasn't Diogenes, I would be wishing to be Diogenes too."

Why do every edgy teenager find it based ?
He was just literally like a dog, like an animal. An animal can't understand majesty, even when he is in front of it. And no one can deny Alexander was great. But the animal only care about his lower earthly passions.
So mediocrity is based ?

Also the antique story of Alexander the Great and the Brahmin is far better.

I don't know how to explain it to you as you probably prefer cheap rant like diogen did.
But to start : I am not pro-war, I don't like complex civilizations (while society is necessary, unless you are an ermit but still here you came from a society), I don't care about the wars of Alexander (he just had superior humans capabilities and as such these are respectable),...
But complex thoughts is not for cynics.
Of course everyone has a wisdom, even people that masturbate in public or alcoholic people. Even the dogs have their wisdom.
What I don't like is when someone start telling me an alcoholic is a philosopher worthy of it when all he does is sticking to a low wisdom even child's have.
The book I recommended is Alexander being "destroyed" but from a good perspective : i.e. smart (worthy of human language and rationality and of Alexander genius and time he gave to find this wisdom).
Because if Alexander find a philosopher isn't it natural for the latter to actually answer this need of knowledge an to get to his level ?

Tl:Dr : Diogen is a retard with natural instincts leftists like because he permits them to think acting like a child and anarchy is philosophy.

>The Epicurean has the same point of view as the cynic; there is usually only a difference of temperament between them. Then the Epicurean makes use of his higher culture to render himself independent of prevailing opinions, he raises himself above them, whilst the cynic only remains negative. He walks, as it were, in wind protected, well sheltered, half-dark paths, whilst over him, in the wind, the tops of the trees rustle and show him how violently agitated is the world out there. The cynic, on the contrary, goes, as it were, naked into the rushing of the wind and hardens himself to the point of insensibility.

Eh
Sorry for angering you, I'm too brutal and not pedagogical enough, even if it is a part of what I reproch to Diogenes.
Sorry for the typo, I am french.
I talked about masturbation because :
>He even rejected normal ideas about human decency. Diogenes is said to have eaten in the marketplace,[48] urinated on some people who insulted him,[49] defecated in the theatre,[50] and masturbated in public.
>On the indecency of his masturbating in public he would say, "If only it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing my belly."[51][52]
It seems like you didn't know about it, did you act out of ignorance ?
I called him a child in regard to the story in the OP, but ok *Diogenes is even worst than a child, more like a dog.
>The name Cynic derives from Ancient Greek kυνιkός (kynikos), meaning 'dog-like', and kύων (kyôn), meaning 'dog' (genitive: kynos).
>It seems certain, however, that the word dog was also thrown at the first Cynics as an insult for their shameless rejection of conventional manners, and their decision to live on the streets.
Your barking I might sadly have caused is really worthy of the cynics.

Diogenes can be said as Plato did as :
"a Socrates gone mad."

You think i didn't know about Diogenes shitting in theaters and pissing on people? Are you retarded? Where was that insinuated? Passive aggressive frog eating fuck.
Now that you got called out for the "diogenes is a child" bullshit you were spewing you backtrack and go into wikipedia and remember that he's literally nicknamed "the dog"...Then insinuate that, because of this he is "even ""worst"" than a child"
What does that even mean? A dog is inherently inferior to a child? I'm willing to disagree with that one, bagguette boy. I see a lot more retarded children (e.g: YOU) than i've seen dogs. Then you state (or rather, copy) that Diogenes was nicknamed the dog because of his rejection of conventional manners and societal norms, etc... Yes. And? Why is that bad?
>Seriously, put the fact i am stupid aside and reconsider what we talked about please.
See, that's the problem here, buddy. I can't put the fact that you're stupid aside, because that's quite literally the only thing worth mentioning in your posts. You speak no original ideas, you copy from wikipedia and you state your opinion that Diogenes is bad and validate it by saying that he jacked off in a street corner. Again....We all know this.

A)A small horde of gay, out of shape, pudgy french merde de putains who obviously take an unhealthy amount of time perfecting their image as lowlife thugs walking their dogs on chains.
B)An ascetic old man that doesn't shave because he doesn't see the point maintaining any image rejecting society, due to his contempt for it and it's artificiality walking around the marketplace jacking off and telling people how gay they are while a band of dogs follow him of their own volition.
If you can't see the difference, get some fucking glasses. The faggots in your image have NOT rejected society just because they spent an hour fashioning their hair and buying some pseudo-biker outfits. I honestly have sat here for a good 10 minutes thinking of what the fuck you even meant with this "analogy". Did you skim through Diogenes' wikipedia page and saw the words "PUBLIC MASTURBATION" and immediately settle on an opinion on him? Because you're forgetting half of his philosophy. Cynicism doesn't tell you to reject society as some sort of political statement, but recommends a life of self-sufficiency away from societal norms because of how unhealthy they are. All of the stress and the bullshit problems that arise from living in a civilized world are completely man made and artificial and there is no reason why getting away from all of them is bad. The philosophy states that man running away from his roots in nature is only corrupting himself. You can disagree, but don't go touting about how you'd find Diogenes in a pride parade or a fucking antifa rally, you dishonest pseud.

For the FINAL TIME i will tell you, this: Diogenes was a philosopher at heart. The most honest one that has ever walked on the wide green earth. Again...YES..he jacked off in public. Horrible, i know. Yes...He ate...god forbid...IN THE MARKETPLACE. Shocking. Brutal. Scary. That's the entire point of his fucking philosophy you dense fucking shit. CYNICS REJECT SOCIETY (500th time i say this to you, faggot) They hate it. They think it is a regressive, artificial and in the end a completely pointless system, this civilization of ours that brings us unnecessary stress, anxiety and frustration. Man should return to his roots in nature. He is nicknamed "THE DOG" because he finds virtue in an animal that sees no reason why relieving himself on the street corner will cause an issue (because it won't) He does not have worries for his grandiose future or his great conquest of the world, the dog lives in the moment perfectly and naturally he embraces the simple pleasures of life, he has no anxiety, he lives in perfect honesty and does not hide his intentions like a civilized human being does. Dogs do not stab each other in the back, unlike the men who created and continue our civilization. Our society is built on vindictive backstabbing and playing each other....

There is an instinctive truth to say existence is shit, rules are shit,... And it talks to me as well.
But at the same time in order to overcame these rules you must play with them.
You are born in an existence full of rules forced into you, be it by nature, society, family (micro-society), inter-individual relations,...
When there is an alterity there is that goes with them. Going against these rules (learned from yourself or from others advices) would be going against all alterity.
Since there is alterity, since you are not an isolated cell totally indeed from all the world surrounding you, you must follows rules. Even animals follow rules.
Wisdom is knowing how to play with rules and going above them (like being above formalities with someone you love, but at the same time there have been an art to formulate words and of discussion to approach this alterity of a friend or of a women).
In the case of Diogenes I think he should have been more decent and civil, that is one thing I reproched. You can't reject society as soon as you are born from someone else, a mother, and as soon as you are fruit of the love of a man and a woman. Diogenese's philosophy is damaging to relations and fail to find good spontaneity, pissing on an opponent is really stupid. Like I was stupid to be smug with you even if that was my instinct. (I don't even think animal piss on others like that).

And then you come along, completely deaf to the culture and purpose of this forum, and essentially insist that people acknowledge you. Look at me. Look at my name and be influenced. Look how different and special and unique I am. Rather than engaging with arguments purely on the basis of their own merits, you, intentionally or not, attempt to appeal to ethos.

Yes, there is certainly a part of wisdom in him. But I will say it like Plato : he was a Socrates gone mad. A poor life doesn't make you wise, or else all ermits would have been. Instead wisdom and madness are often nearby one from another.
I explained in others posts why he was mad. Because public masturbation, urination on opponents,... He was not self sufficient, he was uncivil (in the sense of inhuman). Also the story with Alexander the great isn't good because it sounds most likely like tramp being yelling at Alexander than like a philosopher. Instead the story I recommended is far better in all regards, that is a real ascetic refusing Alexander gifts and really redpilling him.

>In one instance, after Plato had given Socrates’ definition of man as a “featherless biped” and was very much praised for that definition. Diogenes plucked a chicken and brought it into Plato’s Academy, and said, “Behold! I’ve brought you a man.” After that incident, “with broad flat nails” was added to Plato’s definition.

>Diogenes was knee deep in a stream washing vegetables. Coming up to him, Plato said, "My good Diogenes, if you knew how to pay court to Dionysius, you wouldn't have to wash vegetables." "And," replied Diogenes, "If you knew how to wash vegetables, you wouldn't have to pay court to Dionysius."
