Wikipedia And The Death Of The Expert
So long as we believe that there is such a thing as an expert rather than a fellow-investigator, then that person’s views just by magic will be worth more than our own, no matter how much or how often actual events have shown this not to be the case.
Wikipedia is a sign of the opening up of knowledge. Experts in a field are now becoming people who can help guide us more rather than holders of unreachable secrets. Wonderful article.
