Summary

This quote is a clever analogy that suggests that despite the vastness and complexity of the universe, our understanding and knowledge of it is limited. It implies that there is so much more to explore and discover beyond what we currently comprehend. Just as hiding one's head in a vast cosmic hole would offer limited escape or awareness of the surroundings, our human understanding is limited, and there could be infinite possibilities outside our knowledge.

I'm not a prophet I can only use historical reality to come to a view of the future, and my view is that Africa will return to being African and not European. The advent of colonialism was foreign to the country itself, but it will return to what it was before the Europeans arrived.
