I am sure by the year 2047 our world and data
will look vastly different. This site would have never
seen the light of day if it were not for those who believe
our future exists only if we acknowledge the unknown.
And especially for our Dogon Ancestors from Mali,
who left us with their ancestral spirits and cosmic
knowledge of how to protect our planet and those
yet to be discovered.
