# Diogenes
*"The most beautiful thing in the world is freedom of speech."* --Diogenes
*"The most beautiful thing in the world is [freedom of speech](free_speech.md)."* --Diogenes
Diogenes (412 BC - 323 BC, not to be confused with the other Diogenes that recorded his life) was one of the biggest, most significant ancient Greek [philosophers](philosophy.md), the best known proponent of [Cynicism](cynicism.md) and one of the absolutely most [based](based.md) men in [history](history.md) as by his philosophy he practiced extreme life [minimalism](minimalism.md) (he lived in a barrel), [asceticism](asceticism.md), self-sufficiency, nonconformism, he refused to [work](work.md), [refused all authority](anarchism.md), criticized absolutely everything and was always extremely [logically](logic.md) consistent and behaved in accordance to what he taught, which is really what makes all his critics -- mostly just big [hypocrite](hypocrisy.md) pussies -- so greatly pissed; the philosophy of Diogenes is quite close to [our own ideals](less_retarded_society.md). The word "cynic" itself comes from a word for "[dog](dog.md)" and indeed, Diogenes lived as one, he just roamed the streets barefoot with a stick, he wore a robe that at night he used to cover himself ([two in one](two_in_one.md)), he didn't give a [shit](shit.md) about anything, preached his [wisdom](wisdom.md), he basically didn't own anything as he believed possession only enslaves us and that everything we need is already there in the nature. He didn't seek [popularity](hero_culture.md), approval, wealth or power, he desired [freedom](freedom.md), spiritual and moral purity, he wanted to let go of absolutely all [bullshit](bullshit.md). The man was also pretty [funny](fun.md), reading about him is really on the level of [4chan](4chan.md) humor, more than 2000 years ahead of his time -- Socrates, Plato and Aristotle wrote pages and pages of boring, serious as fuck walls of text; Diogenes overshadowed them all just with a third party record of his existence. Diogenes wrote some stuff, most famously his *Republic* describing an ideal society, however none of his writings sadly survived, we now only know what others have written about him (there are possibly some recounts of the works who have read them). Let's remember we shouldn't call him a [hero](hero_culture.md), that would itself contradict both his and our philosophy, but if we are to see anyone as a good inspiration and moral example, Diogenes is among the best (well, at least in most things, it goes without saying we can't absolutely embrace everything someone ever did).
