have you ever felt like Diogenes from Sinope?

Migrated topic.
He begged for a living and slept in a tub in the marketplace. He became notorious for his philosophical stunts such as carrying a lamp in the daytime, claiming to be looking for an honest man. He publicly mocked Alexander and lived. He embarrassed Plato, disputed his interpretation of Socrates and sabotaged his lectures.

After being captured by pirates and sold into slavery, Diogenes eventually settled in Corinth

well... I can certainly relate. Sounds like I will be adopting this lifestyle. Thanks for the reference :)
 
I'd love to live in a smaller scale society for some time - the picture below made me feel nostalgic for some reason. Reincarnation makes sense when you consider a soul as some bored hyper-dimensional being with infinite time on it's hands... I'd gladly sign up for some amount of hyper-time entering various states of being, forgetting myself for a while... kind of like a drug. We could be using drugs within a drug, within a drug, within a drug...

Off topic, but what topic should it? Nonsense mensis...
