“I’ve always been interested in the study of humanity; its past, present, and future. It’s the lens my background as an anthropologist has imbued me with and coloured my view of the world. One of the dimensions of our species’ evolution that has always caught my eye since its early stages of development has been the Informational Technology sector. After all, building the information highway and the global communication infrastructure is like building windows and doorways for humanity to see, listen, and touch more of each other. In short, changing the infrastructure also changes the content of the superstructure. This is where the idea of Wareef was conceived, an extension of my curiosity in our humanity and a participation point in that dialogue and landscape. May the future superstructure of the various cultures of humanity, be increasingly species conscious.”
