https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiogenesHands down, my biggest inspiration, and many more that don't even realize it. I highly recommend learning more about him.
He rejected the wormworld, dabbed on plato and socrates and made every one look like a fucking idiot. He was the original shit poster.
Diogenes Sitting in His Tub by Jean-Léon Gérôme
When Plato gave Socrates’s definition of man as “featherless bipeds” and was much praised for the definition, Diogenes plucked a chicken and brought it into Plato’s Academy, saying, “Behold! I’ve brought you a man.” After this incident, “with broad flat nails” was added to Plato’s definition.
Diogenes was knee deep in a stream washing vegetables. Coming up to him, Plato said, “My good Diogenes, if you knew how to pay court to Dionysius, you wouldn’t have to wash vegetables.” “And,” replied Diogenes, “If you knew how to wash vegetables, you wouldn’t have to pay court to Dionysius.”
