The idea of a group of elders is that, in past civilizations, they have linked worlds; the other world was also present in this one. There is also the argument that elders have "experience."

What we are facing tomorrow requires the force of imagination, not wisdom from yesterday.

In the deep space of the sea I have found my moon
