Uh.. Alright.. That's a pretty weird thing to say. I came here just to see you, I didn't even know I was blocking your light.

>>17587840
jonah, considering your size it's not just my light you're blocking

>>17587212
Say you're sorry and step aside, it's literally the only thing you can do

"Do it yourself"

why do you need light?

wtf is this shitty painting, alexander is clearly not blocking the sun, since diogenes is covered in the sunlight

>>17588090
Maybe he's figuratively blocking the sunlight.

>>17588095
well, then the "figure" (ie. the painting) should show that, shouldnt it

>>17588095
This. He's saying his negative attitude is disrupting his enjoyment. What he said is merely meant to be understood as get lost you're annoying. Kinda like when you say to your friends stop being an asshole

>>17587212
>painting depicts Diogenes bathed in brilliant sunlight

>>17588122
>Diogenes bathed in brilliant sunlight
>Step aside, you're blocking the sun
He obviously meant he's the sun that people came to see and he's blocking him. That is to say people came to be illuminated with his wisdom.

>>17588122
>>17588128
Note how everything left of Alexander is black and in darkness and everything surrounding Diogenes is basked in sunlight. Alexander is blocking the progress of people from darkness into the sunlight by suppressing the philosophy of Diogenes.

No, this is a complete misinterpretation. Diogenes was simply alluding to the fact that a rudimentary life with simplicity at it's foundation is his philosophy. By asking Alexander to step aside, he's venerating the beauty of natural life, and, an allegory delivered in a suave manner.

>>17588174
>No, this is a complete misinterpretation.
I disagree.

>>17587212

No, this is a complete misinterpretation. Diogenes was simply alluding to the fact that a rudimentary life with simplicity at it's foundation is his philosophy. By asking Alexander to step aside, he's venerating the beauty of natural life, using an allegory delivered in a suave manner. These types of metaphorical phrases and actions were typical of Diogenes, and would never use them for self veneration.

>>17588180
Sorry bro, that ain't a rebuttal. You're gonna have to read about him before spinning a presumptuous web for yourself!

Actually he is asking him to block the sun for his eyes burn with too much light.

>>17588190
>These types of metaphorical phrases and actions were typical of Diogenes, and would never use them for self veneration.
>When invited to the house of Plato, he trampled upon his carpet, saying that he thereby trampled on the vanity of Plato, to which Plato retorted "How much pride you expose to view, Diogenes, by seeming not to be proud."

>>17588198
>You're gonna have to read about him before spinning a presumptuous web for yourself!
That wasn't a commentary on Diogenes himself, but a commentary on the painting and the artist behind it, reddit pseud.

>>17588205
>you're proud by not acting proud
Big think

>>17588199
>tfw when Alexander is old Macedonian for sunglasses, from more common Indo-European root Aleksunblockos meaning the one who blocks the sun

>>17588207
The point is the painting is a incorrect interpretation of the story, backpeddling midwit.

>>17588213
>OMG I'm so not proud, look at me acting proud, guys plz look I'm swear I'm not proud

>>17587212
maybe the painting is showing after alexander steeped out of the way genisu'ss?

You laugh, get out of his sun, and sit down beside him to enjoy it together.

>>17588090
You know when your mother is vacuuming in front of the tv and you're leaning because you don't want to miss out on the programme. That is what Diogenes is doing.

>>17588090

Plato nailed Diogenes by saying, in effect, that the public display of lack of pride is an insidious form of pride.
So a good comeback would be one that suggests it's a philosophical lack of austerity to enjoy sunbathing.

>>17587212
Have him tortured

do you think it was
A) part of his routine, performed multiple times
B) made up later on
bigly thinking on A

>>17590088
You were right on the money and then you said something absolutely retarded.

>>17590320
I think it's hard to say. We know Alexander and Diogenes were both at the same city in 336 so it's very likely that they met up but perhaps the encounter was not exactly as the anecdote.

>>17587212

>>17587212
There isn't a good comeback, the best way to respond would be a hearty and sincere laugh

M-more time

Alexander and Diogenes died the same year. Did they become bros in Hades? Who knows

>”sir, I am the only sun worthy of your attention”

Crush his throat. Philosophers are parasites who subsist on the wealth of nations while blithely criticizing and deconstructing society without providing any acceptable alternatives
Diogenes may be the one exception to the rule but come on, its Alexander the Motherfucking Great. Eat shit and die you public masturbator

>>17588090
This is a few moments after Alexander blocked. Diogenes is shifting himself so he is in the sun. You can see The Great's shadow is on The Dog's right leg.

>>17587212
Incredibly based. Really speaking truth to power. That's why Alexander took a liking to him in the first place because he was the only one with the balls do say something impudent like that to him.
Unfortunately them meeting was most like apocryphal and never happened irl

>>17591206
>because he was the only one with the balls do say something impudent like that to him.
Has nothing to do with balls. Alexander is at the top of the social ladder, while Diogenes has put himself so low that he's lower than a cockroach, and stomping him would be a waste, so in essence he's beyond his scorn.

Yes. When Simeon the Stylite was starting out his life atop a pillar, some monks ordered him to come down, on grounds of obedience. If he refused to, then he'd be placing too much importance on his asceticism, due to pride.
Had Simeon refused, in order to chase some vanity such as being recognized for "never coming down from the pillar", the monks would've forcefully dragged him down. But he immediatly obeyed, so the monks told him to stay put.
