WTF?  Is that an accurate quote?  I didn't think Jimmy had such a
negative outlook on humanity, nor on the project.

I'd juxtapose this with the view of Larry Sanger, who has spent a lot
of effort trying to create an organization that humans can't screw up.

I'll assume good faith, and that Jimmy was misquoted or at least
quoted out of context.  I'd like to hear a clarification, though.
