Why did something so obvious take so long to come to our rescue? 📍 The scorpion and the frog is a fable that purports to teach us a lesson about the inevitability of human nature. What happens in the fable and why is it controversial? 📍 Finally in this episode, we look at the origin of the peace symbol. You might be surprised to learn of how it came about.
