Jimmy Wales, of Objectivist background and Wikipedia fame, is asking for contributions for Wikipedia. I've always liked Jimmy, and Wikipedia too. I'm just scratching my head over this:
"This is a radical strike at the heart of an increasingly shallow, proprietary and anti-intellectual culture."
Is it true that culture is becoming more proprietary? Has someone patented Western Civilization? Have Shakespeare's works been taken out of the public domain?
Give me the rights to Othello,
And I'll be a wealthy fellow.
