  • Good question. Is he homeless because in our sense of the word he doesn't own or belong to any house or particular dwelling?

    Or is he not homeless because he chooses to live in the streets near the market in a barrel like the stray dogs he praises?

  • There's no real way to prove the wine barrel part but it's safe to assume he probably sheltered somewhere when it rained. Wine barrels were common and waterproof, so I would assume Diogenes watched a stray dog take shelter in an empty wine barrel and did the same based on his praise of dogs living by instinct combined with the simple practicality of finding shelter rather than making or paying for it.

  • Diogenes didn't exactly tell him to fuck off, it was more that he made a request for him to move over as if Alexander was literally any other man on Earth. An equal. Which arguably is more insulting as I'm sure Alexander's enemies often told him to fuck off, but this was the first time he was requested to stand aside by a dude known to publically masturbate.

    Later, Alexander found Diogenes picking at the bones of a long dead servant, and when Alexander inquired as to what Diogenes was doing, Diogenes replied that he was trying find the difference between these bones and the bones of Alexander's father. Zero fucks given because in the end we are all bones.

  • Also, a lot of them are paying for spaces that aren't getting utilized to full capacity. I've noticed here in the states that many companies are clearing out whole floors and starting to rent them out to smaller companies to even out the cost a bit since they can't seem to convince anyone that the office is better.
