Toyin Falola,Mbtutu, Carlo Rovelli and Dignity

[Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth]

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
