The above title, of course, is my subversion of a quote from George Orwell.

Everyone is looking for the truth, or thinks that they are in full possession of it already (and market themselves or their venture as if they have more of it than the last “authority”). Personally, I don’t believe in truth, and I question the truth whenever I can.
Why?

Because I think that truth requires belief, and that belief requires faith. And faith leads us to go batsh*t religious/fanboyish, with no regard for any other alternative answer or solution.

And that holds all of us back, IMO.

So my description of Wikipedia is not as a repository of universal truth, but as a growing repository of every lie and truth ever recorded, as long as it has cited sources. To me, that’s a good thing; it keeps us from drinking too much of any particular flavor of Kool-Aid.
