The Self

Understanding What and Who We Are

When we look in the mirror, make plans, and think about anything there is always an inner understanding that we are a being. This understanding of being, or self, is extremely important for everything in life and not every animal is capable of such understanding. Lets explore what the self is and how it is developed.

Corruption of Wikipedia

http://knol.google.com/k/carl-hewitt-httpcarlhewittinfo/corruption-of-wikipedia/pcxtp4rx7g1t/5


Summary

Wikipedia's business model is generating Web traffic (primarily from search engines) for articles on conventional wisdom that are tightly controlled by a commune of mostly anonymous Administrators to motivate (financial) contributions.

However, according to Correa, Correa and Askanas:
"in Wikipedia, ultimate decisions about what constitutes 'encyclopedic fact' and what constitutes 'vandalism' devolve to a cadre of Internet bureaucrats with no other qualifications than their devotion to Wikipedianism... One of the main problems stems precisely from the fact that Wikipedia's de-facto arbiters of what constitutes 'science', 'information', 'fact', 'knowledge' - those who make it into the ranks of Wikipedia administrators ... are Internet technobureaucrats without any actual love of knowledge or any respect for those who spend their life fighting for it."

The purpose of this article is to explore issues regarding the corruption of Wikipedia. It does not address other Wikipedia issues.
