Wikipedia basically resembles what its real world equivalent would be - a 'community' of human beings which has had barely a decade to figure out how to properly motivate, reward, control, police and protect its citizens, as they go about their notional common cause of expanding/improving their knowledge hoard, and/or pursue their individual personal goals, namely that of using their assistance in the expansion/improvement of Wikipedia as a cheap hobby that doesn't sound as lame as playing fantasy football or updating your Facebook status fifty times a day. The learning time, and the culture shocks they would need to go through, simply aren't available to them in their digital world. They will fail, they will be overtaken by the world, they are destined to become an archived junk pile, quickly forgotten, except as a curiosity for historians to marvel at the stupidity of our ancestors.<br /><br />There's lots to be written about the true nature of Wikipedia, in ways that would be understood by those poor saps who keep funding it, even though it would be unpalatable to them at first. Some fools however, continue to insist this task requires the involvement and assistance of people who suck at it. Move bitches, get out the way.<br /><br /><br />The Dark Knight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
