Being an old-fangled Peirce-James-Dewey pragmatist, I strongly believe in a life of learning by doing.
And what I see the Common 87% Man doing and learning in Wikiputia is more than anything else an unexamined life of moral and intellectual cowardice.
Whether it's by nature or by accident I don't really care, but I can hardly help but rejoice that any fraction of humanity is spared that manner of learning by doing.
