He’d also take the piss out of people all the time. He saw a hopeless archer practicing his shooting and stood next to the target, calling it ‘The safest place’. He also saw a prostitutes child throwing rocks into the crowds and stated ‘Watch out son, you might hit your father’.
The stories of how much Diogenes messed around with Plato get even better when you consider that Plato may have been a wrestler before he became a Philosopher. That's supposedly how he got his name, "Platon", which means broad. If that's true, it means Diogenes is regularly walking up to the buffest Philosopher in town and trolling him and it's an amazing image.
It's fun to think about. You're Plato this massive guy giving a lecture and this malnourished and dirty homeless diogenes comes into your lecture throws a plucked chicken on the ground yelling I've brought you a man and you know you cant stop him
Another tale of Diogenes is when he was in a city (can't remember which) they received word of an army approaching. So the citizens ran around panicking. Diogenes being the smart arse he begins rolling a large vase up a hill and then let it roll down. He repeated this a number of times before the citizens stopped to ask what he is doing. He responded along the lines of "helping as much as all of you at the moment". To which the citizens realised running around panicking wasn't doing much and evacuated.
This is a bit inaccurate!Diogenes as most cinic hated war so while people were preparing for war he was rolling his vase (house) up and forth to show he was "contributing" for the war .
Easily my favorite story about Diogenes is literally any story where he takes the piss out of Plato. One story has it that Plato came across Diogenes while he was washing some vegetables in a river. Plato said to him "Diogenes, if you knew how to pay court to kings you wouldn't have to wash vegetables" Diogenes responded "and if you knew how to wash vegetables you wouldn't have to pay court to kings" Another story has it that Plato was discussing his Platonic forms with Diogenes, and pointed to a bowl on a table nearby. "You see that bowl? There is an essence of 'bowl' that all bowls partake in." Diogenes answered "I do see the bowl, but I also see that it is empty. So where is the essence of emptiness that this empty bowl partakes in?" Before Plato could answer, Diogenes tapped him on the side of the head, and said "there it is"
God i swear back then you could say anything and it would sound smart Plato essentially just said "this bowl is a bowl because all bowls know how to bowl" and Diogenes just replied "ayo thats fucking stupid"
There's another version of Alexander meeting diogenes. Diogenes is digging in a pile of bones Alexander asks in what he's doing Diogenes says, "looking for the bones of your father but I can't tell them apart from the slave bones."
Well, he's lucky Alexander didn't murder him in the face. Alexander was usually pretty quick to reach for a weapon, and not one to take shit from anyone. Not hating, just saying.
Tbh I believe there was a man named diogenes who did many of these things. But I think his exchanges with alexander are myths. He woulda been killed on the spot.
plan A was being a teacher, which fell through like 2 days after i wrote that. plan B still in the works, but plan C is definitely still living in a barrel and not giving a shit.
Actually dogs stare at their owners while they are reliving themselves as a sign of trust as in the wild it is a vulnerable position for them to be in. :)
There's a version of him in a webtoon where he's a homeless gut with a PhD who becomes roommates with Alexander, the youngest chief of police in New Athens history, and spends his days terrorizing Plato and Socrates at the local museum.
I just love to imagine him going to his regular fruit vendor and buying the loudest food, and the guy expecting him to eat it right there going "wait, you're not going to eat that here?" and he goes "No mate, Plato has a lecture today, I'm gonna go eat this as loud as I can, and if I'm lucky I may need to take a shit while he's talking"
I literally have a Diogenes poster on my wall and I'm wearing a Diogenes shirt as I'm watching this, I know the fact I own both these items in a contradiction to his beliefs but he isn't perfect, just an amazing person.
Wow, gee, like totally literally? Really? Yeah, such a complete and total shocker and an amazing, unbelievable and incredible coincidence that someone who likes Diogenes enough to where they would buy a poster and T-shirt with an artist's imagined depiction of what he miiiiight have looked like, would also happen to look up videos about Diogenes on TH-cam. Seriously? Smfh....
That's not the reason they were called cynics. They were called cynics as a slight because people thought they had the demeanour, values and behaviour of dogs.
YOU CAN'T BUY ME HOTDOG MANNNNNNNNN Also, with the Irish thing, Cú Chulainn was the name of a guy who, because he killed someone's guard dog in self defence, offered to take its place and protect this guy until a replacement could be found.
@@InsertUsernameHere_a Zeus didn't just fuck those he also fucked trees which is why certain trees have those holes in them according to Greek mythology.
There's another Diogenes in Corinth story that I've always liked. When Philip II of Macedon marched on Corinth the entire town flew into activity, some forging or repairing weapons and armour, some patching walls, some strengthening battlements, but no one gave Diogenes a job. So he gathered up his rags and began to energetically roll his barrel up and down the square. A passerby asked what he was doing, to which he replied, "I do not want to be thought the only idler in such a busy multitude; I am rolling my tub to be like the rest."
The stories of Diogenes always bring me so much joy, and there are many more, like the time he got kidnapped by pirates. Anyway what's truly charming that as weird as antisocial as he was the people of Corinth respected him and after his death erected a pillar with a marble dog on it :) (which I am sure Diogenes would have thought is pointless and stupid :P )
The original punk! _Paracharattein to nomisma._ "Perhaps no philosopher is closer to the truth than the cynic, for the happiness if the animal, who is, after all, the consummate cynic, provided living proof of the truth of cynicism." -Nietzsche, _On the Utility and Liability of History_
Cynic indeed is a derivative of ''dog' (= κύων in ancient greek), which later became official term. But the nickname stuck to Diogenes, because he preferred to act like a dog, people treated him like one, then he said ''ok then, I'm denying my part in humanity, a dog I am''.
he admired dogs because they're totally honest which no human is. taking the piss once as he often did he went walking around in broad daylight with a lit lantern and said he was looking for an honest man
Diogenes is my favorite person ever in the history of everything. I'm glad he's finally getting his due. His interaction with Alexander the Great is easily the most incredible story in all of history.
Wait. Can man not cry for a Dog? That is imposible, if someone does not cry for a Dog, then i refuse to recognize that someone as neither a human, a person, a man or a life form.
Have the balls to piss off Plato is also something extraordinary. Plato was also a former wrestler, with several golden medals at the olimpics games at the time.
Dearest Karl Bigwood, Thank you for compressing the life of the greatest man who ever existed into less than half an hour. I will be using this video to tell other people how badass Diogenes was.
Over the last week and a bit TH-cam hasn't been giving me notifications for anything even with the bell icon ticked. But this channel is so good even TH-cam doesn't want me to miss it
Side note; it's 1am and I can't sleep suggestions? (Reason for lack of sleep is I don't sleep much and I just got a motorbike so I'm super excited to take it out again)
Why? Everything about him is pathetic. He's one of the biggest hypocrites in history and an utter garbage human. If that's how Greeks are then I hope your country burns to the ground.
A man like Diogenes is incorruptible. Such a man would be considered dangerous. Also very sad that so few even noticed the Reign clip. The underrated of the underrated.
One of the best Diogenes stories was when the town was going to get invaded. While people were running around screaming, Diogenes was rolling his barrel up and down a hill. Someone stopped and asked "what are you doing?" He stopped and said "just making myself as useful as everyone else."
I just recently got into this channel. The presentation feels so authentic and the ideas are so original. I read about Diogenes in National Geographic History Magazine last year. I think he had a good point about what possessions and social constructs mean, but I'm not sure it was a good way to get his point across. I prefer the stoics to the cynics, lol.
You look so freaking young in the picture! X3 And Penny sounds utterly adorably! You should totally just do a video on your many many dogs, for the craic! XD
It's been a couple years since this was posted. But you missed one of Diogenes greatest* exploits. He had a nick name in Greek that translated to "door kicker inner" because he was known to randomly kick in the doors of people's homes and begin lecturing them on ethics all the while the home owners would be yelling at him to GTFO
I lost my dog of 10 years yesterday, and your story about Penny made me smile because my Sadie used to do the same thing right up until the day she passed. Thank you for unintentionally cheering me up.

I haven't been watching for very long (around a week), but I've seen most of the videos on this channel already and I really like the layout and execution of the information given. Really funny and interesting + no idea what your gonna get next 😂👍. Keep it up guys.
Fun fact: the word canine is derived from the latin canis, which in turn is derived from the greek word "κύων". The word cynic (greek: κυνικός), is also derived from the greek word for dog. So yeah, being a cynic pretty much meant you were ''like a dog'', which would mean that it wouldn't be much of a stretch to call Diogenes the first literal cynic to have ever lived.
I just recently, found Fact Fiend, loving this show, the topics are interesting and Karl is a laugh. Thanks for brightening my day's guys, and keep doing what you're doing. Helps kick some depression, can't help but smile and chuckle. Keep it up.
my dog always comes up next to me on the bed, does that walk in a circle thing and then flops on top of me like the people elbow nowhere near where she was circling. cracks me up every time.
I’m so glad that you guys are growing this fast! This channel is one of the best I watch rn and I always enjoy the videos you put out no matter what the topic is. Keep up the great work guys!!
Just realized that in his eyes that small homeless child must of seemed like a genius to him as even a famous philosopher did not think about cupping his hands this making his bowl redundant. A homeless child in his eyes must of been a truly insanely smart person.

Plato: Swole in both body and mind.
It might have helped that both of them were Socrates' students. So at the very least some respect existed between the two.
@@jocosesonata If Diogenes were here, he'd say that Plato was so overly full of muscles that they left little room for wisdom in his head.
@@jocosesonata Swollen? Like, don't debase the language, man. It is the beginning of wisdom to call things by their proper names.
Another tale of Diogenes is when he was in a city (can't remember which) they received word of an army approaching. So the citizens ran around panicking. Diogenes being the smart arse he begins rolling a large vase up a hill and then let it roll down. He repeated this a number of times before the citizens stopped to ask what he is doing. He responded

Lol they got roasted
At the port of Athens Piraeus. But I know that he started mopping the dirt outside of his barrel

Before Plato could answer, Diogenes tapped him on the side of the head, and said "there it is"
Someone should just make a show about the hijinks of Plato and Diogenes.
I want a Spy vs. Spy like series, but with these two being a-holes to each other
Robert Sacher Spy vs. Spy requires both individuals getting the short end of the stick at some point though, and we all know Diogenes takes no Ls.
God i swear back then you could say anything and it would sound smart Plato essentially just said "this bowl is a bowl because all bowls know how to bowl" and Diogenes just replied "ayo thats fucking stupid"
Diogenes had the biggest dick energy.
There's another version of Alexander meeting diogenes.
Diogenes is digging in a pile of bones
Alexander asks in what he's doing
Diogenes says, "looking for the bones of your father but I can't tell them apart from the slave bones."

At which point, the fruit vendor would be morally obligated to give him a discount.
And then would immediately give him another as he bought it

I haven't been watching for very long (around a week), but I've seen most of the videos on this channel already and I really like the layout and execution of the information given. Really funny and interesting + no idea what your gonna get next 😂👍. Keep it up guys.
The one question Dingenes could never answer. "Who's a good boy/girl?"
Out of all channels i accidentally stumbled on this one is the best. Keep up the great videos guys!
Fun fact: the word canine is derived from the latin canis, which in turn is derived from the greek word "κύων". The word cynic (greek: κυνικός), is also derived from the greek word for dog. So yeah, being a cynic pretty much meant you were ''like a dog'', which would mean that it wouldn't be much of a stretch to call Diogenes the first literal cynic to have ever lived.
I just recently, found Fact Fiend, loving this show, the topics are interesting and Karl is a laugh. Thanks for brightening my day's guys, and keep doing what you're doing. Helps kick some depression, can't help but smile and chuckle. Keep it up.
ya like daags?
my dog always comes up next to me on the bed, does that walk in a circle thing and then flops on top of me like the people elbow nowhere near where she was circling. cracks me up every time.
Karl is watching horrible histories again
I’m so glad that you guys are growing this fast! This channel is one of the best I watch rn and I always enjoy the videos you put out no matter what the topic is. Keep up the great work guys!!
This is just from sam o’nellas video on him ?
I love how these videos are just interesting rambles
Karl my man, whats up with the way you say bowl?
Did it sound like bong to you?
Wastelandman Yes it did, I had to do a double take because I thought this philosopher was even more chill
Thank god I'm not the only one who thought he said bong.
Hearing you talk about your dog is the highlight of my day. My dog does similar things but each one really is an individual
So Diogenes is the original troll? :P
Rocks D Boat no, Diogenes is the most successful troll. People know who Diogenes is.
Apparently you guys just hit 100k, and I’m very confused by how fast this happened but also quite happy it did
You sound like you are saying bong. Not bowl lol
Just realized that in his eyes that small homeless child must of seemed like a genius to him as even a famous philosopher did not think about cupping his hands this making his bowl redundant. A homeless child in his eyes must of been a truly insanely smart person.
Diogenes is actually my first name
Good job reaching 100,000 subs!
Eyyy horrible histories
Ayyy 100k congratulations n shiz
