in todays lecture at cambridge by Professor Toyin Falola on Margnal Identities in Africa, Falola touched upon the subject of Dignity, Price is what we put on Goods and services and DIGNITY what we place on Human Beings.
-- and this brings me to the subject of Mbutu as raised by Prof Falola I understood Mbutu better thriough QUANTUM PHYSICS on reading Professor Carlo rovelli, the famed theoretical physicist in the "new scientist of march 13 2021".
mbutu simply means i am because you are or a person is a person through another person
rovelli stated that things exist only in relation to other things. it then occured to me he was stating what we already know in Africa.
Could Africans have been the first to make this discovery. .well i wrote on my linkedin page and fired an email to professor rovelli but there vvwas no response.
much later on out of curiosity i just googled MBUTU ROVELLI and in found two journalists had thrown the Mbutu question at him. could my write up have gone viral? I would not know
