Diogenes Walks Away

"where are you going??" Diogenes, who is said to have walked away upon hearing a philosophical argument denying the existence of motion, intending to prove without utterance that motion does indeed exist.

A minimalist comic shows a bearded, laurel-crowned depiction of Diogenes walking away while a Wojak-like figure asks, “where are you going??” The caption explains that Diogenes supposedly walked away from a philosophical argument denying motion to prove through action that motion exists. It is used as an absurd philosophical reaction to someone making an argument that contradicts observable reality.
