What Wikipedia Did
What Wikipedia did is close to a miracle.<p>Others used web technology to create vast noise chambers of nothingness, deceit and paranoia.<p>Wikipedia shows that having a bit of faith in moral principles and affinity for the good side of humanity can readily turn technology into a force for good.<p>This puts to shame and exposes the shallowness and enormous wastefulness of most all other tech efforts out there.<p>Ofcourse with such dramatic success there are emergent challenges. Developing ground truth on divisive issues that tear humanity apart is highly non-trivial.<p>But the miracle stands and is asking from all of us to turn faith into science, find ways to replicate the essence of Wikipedia across all domains.
