The ancient story of trying to change anything on Wikipedia. The ancient story of how stubs are improved.


"It is rather like politics or policing: those who most enjoy the work are often those who should not be doing it." Sheri S. Tepper, The Fresco


"...how, from earliest times, human beings have with "bewildering optimism" amassed collections of books and created buildings to put them in; how they have striven to assemble, encompass, and contain the materials on which the world's knowledge is recorded in the vain but determined hope that they will somehow, ultimately, be able to gather it all into one coherent, ordered space." Alice Crawford, The Meaning of the Library


"Freedom is the absence of unnecessary involuntary constraint. Zeno's Laughter


Ethnicity and nationality: "A creation of the human will, it is impervious to mere rational disproof." Patrick J. Geary, The Myth of Nations


"Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire." Gustav Mahler (1860-1911)


"Do you think Pavlov thought about feeding his dog every time he heard a bell ring?" Jeremy Parish's nephew


"Science is a haphazard collection of institutions, norms, customs, and traditions that have developed by trial and error over the past several centuries." Carl Bergstrom & Jevin West, Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World (2020)
