It's ironic that Digenes's fanboys (like the fanboys of stoicism), use his example as a model to better integrate, cope, and succeed in postmodern late-capital society.

Modeling one's self after Digenes without being homeless is like modeling oneself after Michael Jackson without being able to dance.

Digenes looks down from eternity and invites these posers to get fucking wrecked.
