"defacing the currency"¹ became the catchphrase of ancient Cynic philosopher/critics because founder #Diogenes when young was accused and exiled for it, then adopted it as a metaphor for rejecting societal conventions.
¹Ancient Gr: paracharaxon to nomisma. Nomisma = 'coinage' or customary law/usage

#cosmopolitanism, the idea of being a citizen of the world, not just of some locality or community, is a key bequest of the ancient Cynic philosophers, specifically #Diogenes (c. 412–323 BCE) who when asked where he was from, replied "kosmopolítēs eimí — "I am a citizen of the world."

When Alexander the Great met Diogenes (a brilliant philosopher who chose to live on the streets homeless, foregoing all material possessions), Alexander offered him anything his heart desired. Notably, at the time, Alexander was arguably the single most powerful man alive on Earth. Diogenes supposedly replied with: "Yes. Move, you're blocking my sunlight."

Diogenes,
fervent in creativities,
shuffling cards of normality,
bowled a touchdown on civility.

A screenshot from March 27th in The Daily Stoic, with too much text to write here. To summarize: You can buy an expensive mattress for 200,000 dollars, or hire an assassin for 500. People are not rational about such things as market economics. Spending a fortune on trinkets is a bad idea; the good things in life cost what they cost, and the unnecessary things are not worth it at any price. The key is identifying the difference.
A message from Ryan Holliday's The Daily Stoic:
"Diogenes of Sinope said that we sell things of great value for things of very little, and vice versa."
- Diogenes Laertius,
Lives of the Eminent Philosophers, 6.2.35b
Something to think on. Stay safe tomorrow […]
