😎 do you know a philosopher who was famous for his frugal lifestyle?

🤖 Yes, I know a philosopher who was famous for his frugal lifestyle. His name was Diogenes of Sinope, a Greek philosopher who lived in the 4th century BCE. He was one of the founders of the Cynic school of philosophy, which advocated living in harmony with nature and rejecting conventional values and social norms. Diogenes practiced extreme asceticism, living in a large clay jar, owning nothing but a cloak, a staff and a beggar’s bowl. He was known for his witty and provocative remarks, challenging the authority and wisdom of famous figures such as Plato, Alexander the Great and the Oracle of Delphi. He is often considered as an example of a philosopher who lived according to his principles.
