@@DivideBy0705 it’s literally something he said. I’m just telling some more stories of Diogenes
I don't think you quite managed to capture the pure HYPE of Diogenese kicking down the door of a lecture theatre, holding a plucked chicken above his head, screaming *"BEHOLD A MAN!"*
"Behold Plato's man!"
Please explain
Yes
@@greekfreak0482 Plato said man is a "featherless biped" so Dio the Mano kicked his door in flaunting a, well, featherless chicken.
*PLATO'S MAN, BEHOLD*
Diogenes an intellectual and rarely a gentle type but 100% MAN.
Another Alexander - Diogenes story is this. Diogenes asked Alexander what he was going to do with that big army of his, to which Alexander replied that he was going to conquer the world. So Diogenes then asked, "What will you do after you have conquered the world?" and Alexander replied "I will rest and enjoy my time." To that Diogenes replied "Well, look at me, I am resting and enjoying my time, and I didn't need to conquer the world to do it."
Bro violated the most dangerous man in the world 💀
So many quotes I've never heard
This wasn't diogenes
That’s the lamest quote from Diogenes I have ever heard jesus christ
I don’t care if this is made up by an ai, Blud would say this.
The whole, “Behold! Plato’s Man!” moment is so much funnier when you realise that Diogenes was a malnourished homeless man and Plato was an Olympic Wrestling Champion. Just some skin-and-bones guy throws a limp featherless chicken down in front of one of the most famous celebrities of his time and basically shouts, “FUCK YOU” in front of all his fans.
I love it.
I love the detail that Plato’s response to all that was so weak he just picked some other feature which could also just be ripped from or added to a chicken carcass
like some homeless dude interrupting Dwayne Johnson during an interview 💀
If only he was alive to see these threads.
i have saw some post that claim that there is an occurence where Plato trying to win an argument with someone just by flexing his bicep funny he never try that with Diogenes

Nearly 9000 comments and no one has mentioned this anecdote of Diogenes:
When the city where he lived was about to be attacked by an army, everybody started to panic and ran around aimlessly.
Diogenes saw that, took his barrel and started to push it up a hill. Once he was up, he rolled it down again, and started over.
When people came and asked why he was rolling his barrel up and down the hill he said: "I am just trying to make myself as useful as everybody else here"
i like to think even the soldiers was puzzled enough to halt fighting and look at his shenanigans
I can't tell if this was the inspiration for the boulder-pushing punishment in Greek mythology, or if he heard about that fable and then decided to re-enact it for shits and giggles.
@@CoralCopperHead I am fairly sure that the myth came first, so probably the second one.
Okay but imagine if no one asked him what he was doing. How long would he have kept it up?
Another anecdote about him: He would usually carry a lamp with him during the day wherever he went, and when people asked him why he was carrying a lamp, he would reply that he is in search of an honest man. An “honest man” meaning that the entirety of Athens is corrupt, and nothing like a democracy.
they killed socrates for asking too many questions yet they gave the guy literally pissing and shitting on people a pass 💀
to be fair he smelled like shit and was surrounded by an army of loyal dogs who followed him around everywhere. Yeah a side note people leave out is that he loved dogs and they loved him. So I guess people wanted to get rid of him, but didn't wanna deal with getting a big enough group of people to get close to his small army of dogs, who would absolutely give them the most infected bite wounds that side of the eastern hemisphere.
So what, I see nothing wrong with this.

Man, shame you didn't mention the part about him walking around with a lantern during the day and shining it in peoples faces saying that he was 'looking for an honest man'.
Yeah, that is a good one.
I like how he was actually taken as a slave, and while standing in line to be sold he pointed at one of the potential slave buyers and declared something like "You look like you need a man to run your life for you"... and the guy immediately bought him.
Diogenes then spent a few years running the man's household. Everything from the finances to cleaning.

Surprising how nobody has mentioned when Diogenes was exiled from his city he replied,
"I condemn you to live in this city".
Didn't he get kicked out for debasing and hyperinflating the local currency too?
How can a homeless man hyperinflate a local currency?
@vittoriof.8088 He was the son of the Mintmaster of Sinope and became his father's apprentice. Then he debased the currency (which lead to hyperinflation), was banished and ended up as the homeless man in Athens.
Edit: Found out why he did it: He went to the oracle of Delphi and was told to debase the currency, and after the Sinope incident, decided that the oracle meant the political currency.

When Diogenes was to be sold to slavery, he was asked which task he was best at. He replied, "Being a master."

There was also the one about the Archer that kept missing his target in the archery range. Diogenes then sat next to the target saying "this is the safest spot".
Uh... For that to make sense, shouldn't he be in front of the target? Since, you know, it's the target that's he's missing? If he misses the target, which he will, and the arrow goes to the side he's on, the world would lose its first living meme.

Diogenes' had a student named Menippus who was also a Cynic. Lucian wrote some stories about Menippus going to the Underworld and in one of them Menippus has a conversation with Cerberus and it's basically just him going "gods you're really living the dream as a dog"
Diogenes had an army of dogs, right?
Digenes living till 89 at that time period is insane
It's probably not nearly as insane as we've been misled to believe. We get the message that life was exceedingly miserable and short from the same systems that educated the orphans of genocidal conquests. Central authoritarians have no rational justification for their positions, so it's necessary to instill fears based on lies as the only acceptable common knowledge in order to maintain followers who dutifully perform their services and enlist their children in armies.
I would guess that the average lifespan of hermits who live on berries in the mountains is longer than the average affluent person hustling through life under the baseless and un-perceived oppression of cultural norms of any false society which can't function within the limitations of Dunbar's number.
My theory is that a true human society would result in much higher average lifespans for the tribe. It would, in fact, at the very least remove the burden of cognitive dissonance and afford a better quality of life than any amount of toys, widgets or sideshows could ever provide.
If you got past early childhood, you had a decent enough chance to get to just about the same age as nowadays.

Don’t forget when Alexander the Great asked Diogenes why he was digging through a pile of bones, and Diogenes said, “I was looking for your father, but I can’t dispute his bones with that of a slave.”
Damn I think Alexander got 3rd degree burn from that roast
Olympias would have found that hilarious if she were present
Third degree burns.
Okay why is Diogenes just straight roasting Alexander-is there like, a history or something? Does Diogenes not like the imbalance of power a monarchy has, and insults Alexander as a result?
Edit: Googled it, since after posting this comment, I realized that anything that I can type here can be typed into a URL. Yeah, it was the second one. He disliked Alex's want for power.
Cockroach yup.
That bit where he wanted to be thrown into the wilderness after he died had another part to it. He was discussing this with someone, and they asked why he would allow his body to be torn to shreds. He responded “Well then, I’ll ask them to give me a knife so I can defend myself.” After the obvious “what are you going to do with a knife, you’ll be dead,” he responded with “Then why should I care what happens to me?”
The Greek for when Diogenes told Alexander to move apparently has a double meaning. Alternatively meaning “enlighten me”. Which makes it even more cool
Fun fact, after that whole “blocking the sun” line, Alexander, unfazed, said “if I was not Alexander, I would want to be Diogenes” to which Diogenes responded “if I was not Diogenes, I would still want to be Diogenes.” The madman.
This is the definition of King Shit.

Diogenes is the epidemy of pure logic. Everything he does is just the embodiment of ones simple and unexplicable desires, without all the symbolic bullshit around it. He was living life just for being and existing. By far the most down to earth guy who wasn't afraid of the hard, cold and simple truth. Ever.
You’re so stupid😂
"In a rich man's house, there is no place to spit but in his face."

"Some say He just got tired of living and held his breath until he died " Daaaaaaamn, for some reason it sounds so badass
I heard that's physically impossible as your body would pass out from lack of air and naturally start taking in oxygen again. But I guess it's a lot more likely the older one gets. Either that, or Diogenes just gave a huge middle finger to science itself, meaning that not even it could fully dictate him.

The best thing about Diogenes' death is that he used it as a final lesson. When people protested about throwing his dead body to the forest, diogenes replied "Fine, then strap a sword or stick in my hand so I may fight them off." when people then replied with the obvious fact that he wouldn't be alive nor conscious to fend them off, he fired back "then I suppose I won't conscious enough to CARE what happens to me, will I?"

Diogenes was definitely fringe class.
Diogenes actually said : Through my body outside the walls. And this is the start of an anecdotal conversation ( they told him: the dogs will start biting you. Wouldn't that bother you? Diogenes:.Then give me a bone to get up and scare them away. Others: And how will you do that if you're dead?

Plato: creates theory of knowlege
-it gets debunked by another philosopher
Plato: defines a human
-it gets debunked by homeless man
hhhhhmmmm...
Plato was wrong about a lot of things.
@@RandemFellow| but he did get people to think. His ideas could be way off base, but he died leaving us questions nobody had ever even thought to consider. Philosophy isn't about being right; that would be science. Philosophy is about looking at the world from such a perverted fantastical point of view that it looks different. It is like trying to define a question that is so ambiguous that it has no solution. But in seeking the solution, it moulds our thoughts and changes how we examine the world around us. In this sense, he was still a great philosopher, and deserves the respect his memory has.
@@randoprior4130 Plato has become famous through our times because his writings managed to survive through war, fire and other calamities. Unfortunately, there are dozens of philosophers we know nothing about and never will because their work failed to survive, not because of lack of quality, but by sheer luck. Diogenes left some writings but his own disciples thought the themes were too disturbing and destroyed them. He's supposed to have written a text about canibbalism and poverty and, if we use our imagination a bit, well, let's just say Jonathan swift touched the same topics and ended up with an essay were he defends that in order to end hunger and poverty, we should eat the poor. Just imagine what Diogenes would have done with such a topic...
@@randoprior4130 not true. Chinese philosophers far back already found these theories but didn't attribute names to them and called them 'common sense'
Why not. We can learn from the mistakes of what was once considered to be a wise man. An marvel when he actually gets something right.
Plus, when you're the first superstar of your field, you will be remembered, mistakes and triumphs. Just ask the Beatles. Or Freud.
You missed a bit of sass worth going over where people were horrified about how he wanted to get thrown outside the city and said "Dude, the animals will eat your body" So Diogenes said "Okay, give me a stick so I can beat up the animals when they try to eat me" And the people said "Wait, how are you going to use a stick? You'll be dead." And Diogenes replied "Yeah, I won't have much use for a stick, huh... Or a body, idiots."
I'm paraphrasing a bit but it's another example of just how awesome he was.
My Latin exam in high school was about this story. It was amazing
He was so ahead of his time
This mans
Also lets not forget that after Diogenes did his featherless biped stunt, Plato change his description of a man to "a featherless biped with broad flat nails". This means that Plato, upon seeing Diogenes throw a featherless(an probably dead)chicken in the middle of his lecture, basically said "I mean...he has a point".
"Thereby giving back to the earth what little he took from it" is a Raw Nasty line and its mine now
The Kanye joke aged like fine wine
He came to Plato with a chicken and yelled "BEHOLD! A MAN!". far better than what he reenacted.
Plato also said to Diogenese: "This is a cup, there are many cups in the world, there is only one idea of a cup and this cupness precedes the existence of all particular cups".
"I can see the cup on the table" said Diogenes, "but I can't see the cupness".
"That's because you have the eyes to see the cup," said Plato, "but", tapping his head with his forefingers, " you don't have the intellect with which to comprehend cupness"
Diogenes walked up to the table, examined a cup and looking inside, asked," Is it empty?"
Plato nodded.
"Where is the emptiness which precedes this empty cup?" asked Diogenes.
Plato allowed himself a few moments to collect his thoughts, but Diogenese reached over and tapping Plato's head with his finger said: "I think you will fin here is the emptiness".
Reminds me of Mercutio.
Diogenes didnt need fire to cook his food, he roasted other philosophers daily
THAT THE SICKEST FUCKING BURN I HEARD
It's a wonder this lad wasn't killed. He's amazing.
He was a god among men, holy Diogenes.

89 years in ancient Greece is a fucking lot.
2:11 I get Rick and Morty vibes.
Diogenes did not give a shit
He gave out many in public for what i understood.
+Andrew Francisco You didn't see the "Read more option", did you?
No it wasn't working on my phone, which is where wrote that.
Diogenes didn't give a shit, but he gave a lot of shits on the ground.
So Diogenes is the ancient Rick Sanchez ?

Next thing you know Diogenes is in a cauldron using a hammer to climb a mountain.
Still annoying the crap out of everybody, even after multiple millenia.
nice reference
CLUBSTEP MONSTER
As a person who has to take literal lessons at school about Plato, I deeply appreciate the accuracy in his speech before he got interrupted by Dionedes, about that whole "you have all the knowledge inside you -like literally, everything, all knowledge ever- but when your soul came to inhabit your body it forgot everything and now you need a someone to remind you all of it.
My teacher says he might have been schizophrenic, considering the definition psychologist have given it today.... Guy was seeing things and believed in a world way up in the cloud that was "the real world" and that our world and what we lived was just a reflection of that other world..... I guess calling humans featherless chickens was the closest thing to a normal he had ever said....
Great and brilliant video ❤️🙏🏻
Diogenes really just said: “hey this whole life thing is boring peace”
He saw a ghost and decided his physical form was useless
@@themostbritishpersonalive868 Lol he probobly just held his breath untill he died of lack of oxygen or som shit
Fun fact: Diogenes often liked representing himself as a dog, making him the world's first furry.
Yeah, "Cynicism" derived from κυνικός (kynikos) 'dog-like' or κύων (kyôn) 'dog'.
no
Please delete this.
Thank you very cool
So the first memer was also a furry.............. thats something
This is type of channel I watch all the videos the day I discover it on TH-cam ❤
I love how you are very clearly making a show for a mature audience yet still say “ Hey Kids”
This man clowned on society so fucking hard that we are still talking about it thousands of years later.
Lol Gandalf the Gay
"Oh god dammit not you again"
I get the feeling Plato said that a lot whenever Diogenes was around
It would have been against his principles as the basis of philosophy is argument
Diogenes was such a chad.
1:49 - You floored me with the "or nothing"
and he turned himself into a fatherless biped. Funniest shit I've ever seen
FEATHERless
That too
God damn it.
Yeah, uh, what the fuck?
@@hughesj both fatherless and featherless
"Pee is stored in balls"
