A cosmic joke or pre-determined? Enjoyed a concise and fascinating overview of our shared history presented by Tim Coulson at #OxfordLiteraryFestival. On this #AprilFoolsDay I ask not only why "we" exist but how "all of us" might continue existing? #GlobalResponsibility

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...
