Paul Panda Farnana M'Fumu (1888 – 12 May 1930) was a Congolese agronomist and expatriate who lived in Europe in the first decades of the 1900s. He has been considered to be the first (post-colonization) Congolese intellectual.
He actively criticized Belgian colonial practices, arguing that the ban on forced labour in the Congo was not being consistently applied and education for the native population was inadequate. He also called for the Congolese to be granted political rights.
Because of his activism, Belgium forbade any further Congolese from studying in Belgium following his death.

Paul Otlet had a vision of an system that could search all the information ever created, from anywhere in the world, at the touch of a button… Too bad the most advanced technologies at his disposal were index cards.

Key sources for this episode include Alex Wright’s Cataloging the World: Paul Otlet and the Birth of the Information Age; Françoise Levie’s L’homme qui voulait classer le monde: Paul Otlet et le Mundaneum; Paul Otlet’s Traité de documentation: Le livre sur le livre; Paul Otlet, Fondateur du Mundaneum, Architecte du savoir, Artisan de paix; and the newspaper archive of the KBR.
Presented by #42 (Alex Baumans). Pathologically interested in anything unusual and obscure. Closet goth, armchair general and amateur theologian. Favorite animals are ducks, octopodes and pigs. You will also find me surprisingly knowledgable about K-Pop girl groups.
