Long before the Web, Lewis Mumford predicted that the explosion of information could "bring about a state of intellectual enervation and depletion hardly to be distinguished from massive ignorance." Not only would lots of information fail to make us smarter; it would actually make us dumber by overwhelming us. The solution, he thought, was not to be found in technology alone but in "a reassertion of human selectivity and moral self-discipline, leading to continent productivity." In these days of information incontinence, in order to be part of the solution rather than the problem, I think it is important to remember this. --Dale Hoiberg, editor in chief of Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Wikipedia's policy and structure are an anarcho-tyranny: “law without order, a constant busybodying about behavior that does not at all derive from a shared moral consensus." As Thomas Fleming also noted, "a world made safe for democracy is a world in which no one dares to raise his voice for fear that mommy will put you away some place where you can be re-educated."

Wikipedia’s systemic bias is toward decadent postmodernity, technocracy, and a half-educated New Class universalism. An editor is a nameless, atomized individual, stripped of dignity and honour, but held together by petty tolerance, superficial fairness and false decency. He is expected to be without any authority or principles outside himself, save for occasional high-flown humanitarian sentiments.

Without the moral, cultural and spiritual means to process knowledge, this disconnected volunteer marches under a banner of false tolerance, contrived decency, and shallow dilettantism, He donates his effort to a hypocritical parliament of parasitic pseudo-elites, who efforts subtly point the masses toward nihilism, dedicated consumerism, and irrational scientism, all under the flag of freedom, technology and community. Shape without form, shade without colour, paralysed force, gesture without motion.
