What if. . .

. . .we knew the murderer in Edwin Drood because Dickens did actually tell his illustrator: “I must have the double necktie! It is necessary, for Jasper strangles Edwin Drood with it”;

. . .Henri Bergson were the sole example of a philosopher having an unprecedented impact on everyday life, as he’s said to have caused the first Broadway traffic jam in New York City;

. . .Shakespeare should be criticized because he failed to mention that poor people, not just kings, have trouble sleeping (Henry IV, Part 2, act III, scene 1);

. . .the 175 – 200 million workers in China’s factories, mines and construction industry weren’t the world’s largest proletariat;

. . .the only genuine political project were setting tax rates on the rich and emergency management were primarily a matter of “it can’t happen here’; and

. . .”don’t give a man a fish, but teach him how to fish” is now: If one has to fish, ensure the ecosystem bounces back nevertheless.
