Answer: Ancient Cynic
Explanation:
An Ancient Cynic, as embodied by Diogenes the Cynic, thinks poorly of humankind, considering people to be vain, lazy and ignorant. This is a characteristic that prevails in modern cynism.
However, Ancient Cynism was not pessimistic about life as modern cynism. People were considered capable of changing their lives to achieve freedom, self-sufficiency, and happiness.
