As skeptical as many philosophers were, not many were willing to openly mock societal decorum as Diogenes did

A person like that today would be labeled crazy, wildlike, anti-social, & asocial. Also condemned as a dangerous non-conformist if they begin 2 encourage others, then thrown in an asylum/prison or even as.sasinated- just like the famous ppl who preach peace & harmony were a.ssasinated.

He somewhat reminds of of that "dirtiest man in the world" in Iran who had just recently passed away. I was reading an article and I could not help but see him as the modern Diogenes, though without the philosophy.
