Why You Should Listen to Diogenes Goes to Washington
What happens when an ancient cynic philosopher shows up in Washington with nothing but a barrel and a lantern? He finds the same thing you already suspect: truth doesn’t live here.
This essay is dark comedy with teeth. You’ll see Diogenes live-tweeting his way through Capitol Hill, TSA agents trying to confiscate his lantern, lobbyists begging to slap corporate logos on it, and a President who can’t laugh off being told he isn’t honest.
Listen to it because sometimes satire says what straight outrage cannot. Listen to it because a man dragging a barrel through the marble halls exposes our collapse more clearly than a thousand editorials.
And maybe listen to it because if we stop laughing at the absurdity, we’ll start drowning in it.
