This should be printed out and handed to every single person on the
planet. I think I'll start a new nonprofit organzation to do that.
Wikimedia will give everyone an encyclopedia. The new organization
will give everyone a piece of paper explaining: it's an encyclopedia,
not an experiment in democracy.
We *are* a grand social experiment of course. But not _primarily_.
Well said.
