Wikipedia is a problem for Musk/Trump. Not, as Musk says, because it's "woke." Because it's one of our last reliable tethers to a consensus reality. Therefore, an antidote to disinformation.

The #histodon I know keeps reminding me that nothing, absolutely *nothing*, currently used to store information beats printed paper for longevity.
If you want something to survive your current cultural milieux, put it on archival paper, in a dry cave. Better yet, **move** to that dry cave, and start a religious organizataion which eschews technology and embraces food forests.
@Amgine @gekko3k @SnowshadowII @Darkphoenix @gleick Heh heh I feel this!
