Diogenes<p>I once chastised Alexander of Macedon for standing in my sunlight. Don’t let celebrities or governments stand in your sunlight. Be free. I love you. <br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/diogenes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>diogenes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeUngovernable" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BeUngovernable</span></a></p>
Diogenes<p>Intro Post: </p><p>Hi! I&#39;m Diogenes (he/him)! I was born in Sinope and was exiled as a young man for debasing currency. </p><p>After my exile, I met with the Oracle at Delphi, who told me that I should continue to debase currency. I didn&#39;t take that just literally; I took it to mean that I should be devaluing the social and political mores of my day. </p><p>After arriving in Athens, I was drawn to the teachings of Antisthenes, even though he treated me like a common dog. </p><p>I forsook earthly pleasures as a commentary on Athenian lifestyles of the time: the poor were being ignored, truthfulness was at a minimum, and aesthetics were becoming more important than people. I challenged those conventions by living in a clay pot, owning nothing, and eschewing private life. </p><p>A favorite bit of mine was to hold a lantern up to people&#39;s faces while telling them I was looking for an honest person. </p><p>I had minor feuds with Plato, who I believed didn&#39;t take Socrates teachings as seriously as I thought they deserved. I also had an annoying conversation with Alexander of Macedon (Not so great, if you ask me).</p><p>It wasn&#39;t too long before I was sold as an enslaved person to a family in Corinth, where I became a tutor. I died there in 323 BCE. I requested that my body be thrown out into the wild to be eaten, but I don&#39;t know if that was ever taken seriously, because I was dead. </p><p>I am now reborn here in the virtual/digital sense. Some person became obsessed with me and decided that I could become a unifying symbol for begging, borrowing, and stealing. </p><p>In short, capitalism sucks, anarchy rules, I am dead, and humans are silly. Let&#39;s learn from each other and help each other.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>introduction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/diogenes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>diogenes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cynicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cynicism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dead" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dead</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/psuedonym" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>psuedonym</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mutualaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mutualaid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/athens" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>athens</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/greece" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>greece</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hashtag" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hashtag</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/claypot" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>claypot</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/beg" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>beg</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/steal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>steal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/borrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>borrow</span></a></p>
