DIOGENES OF SINOPE
c. 412–323 BCE
The Cynic (The Holy Fool)
Diogenes lived in a tub, masturbated in the agora, and asked Alexander to step out of the sun. CoCA's Rite of the Holy Fool (Notice of Proprietary Dominion §III) is Diogenes given a tax exemption. The shamelessness is the doctrine; the doctrine is protected by the First Amendment. To the secular eye, it appears as performance; to the initiated, it is a Cynic teaching, delivered with paperwork.
