Not just someone, the legendary philosopher Diogenes. One of my favorites stories is that one day he was cleaning veggies in a river or something, when Plato walked up and was like "You know Diogenes, if only you could pay taxes to the king you wouldn't have to wash vegetables." And Diogenes responds, "You know Plato, if only you could wash vegetables you wouldn't have to pay taxes to the king."

I always thought the time span of philosophers existing was so large, none of the famous ones would be alive close enough for them to have had any conversation.

But turns out it is some sort of Marvel Cinematic Universe type of shit where they all lived together.

Now I need a philosopher Avenger team.
