I have been staying away from purely political posts but the attack on Wikipedia is more than I can bear. Wikipedia is the most valuable intellectual resource of the internet era. The MAGA crowd is not just against science, it is against knowledge.

Some years ago I wrote a blog post in which I used, or coined, the phrase Sophophobia, a fear of knowledge or expertise. It seems I was a few years too early.
There was talk a whike so that they wanted to go after the editors on a personal basis - making them too scared to work on Wiki. Maybe this is part of the process.
Oh boy did Ed Martin write another wacky memo? My advice is to ignore that corrupt dumb dumb and his ridiculous "threats." My prediction is not only will he not be approved by the senate (he's still interim) but he will also be disbarred.

Seems like Martin got Wiki confused with the likes of Fuckerberg's hell hole or the other place's pit of disinformation.
Any source of learning that rejects financial and political influence must be crushed.
That's why the TV networks are fine, because they can be coerced.
