He was a character for sure, thanks for posting. A couple of things I find thought provoking about Alexander, is firstly his famous exchange with Diogenes, when Diogenes asked him simply to move out of the way of "his light", in response to Alexander offering to give him whatever he asked. This was about the same time as Greece was starting to use rooftop water heaters as a way of putting solar power to human use, it might just be that Diogenes was onto the economic implications of that, like we see now far more clearly that using the free energy of the sun actually directly manifests as wealth, which as yet has to be formally recognised by issue of money, and that this ends all power of capital. It might be Diogenes and Alexander discussed this in detail, and that might have had a lifelong effect on Alexander, changing his view of the meaning of real wealth, it can't be possesed, and maybe that helped influence Alexander's interesting request to ensure his hands were open in death, to show they were holding nothing, apparently to demonstrate symbolically that there was nothing of the riches of his vast empire that he could take with him.
Would folk documenting such an exchange even try to understand what they were talking about, I am not sure, it would be typical to just record the cryptic somewhat comical statement "He asked Alexander to just stand out of his light", and be done with it, I think.
