Well, good podcast. I use Wikipedia a lot. Not as a be all end all for information, but as a general overview of a subject or topic that I'm not familiar with. It seems to serve quite well in that regard. As for questioning its accuracy, which seems to be what you guys, especially Josh, seem to ultimately dovetail on repeatedly in your podcast, remember that all sources of information have inaccuracies within their information. Even your own podcast can have a bias or slant in one direction or another. You have your sources, your opinions and they reflect what you say, don't say, and how you present it overall. I like Wikipedia because the information it contains does not come from just two people, but from the whole planet. It is, again, not the fount of all human knowledge, but a reservoir created by all, to be cultivated and nourished by all and, ultimately, to be used by all.

If anybody would like a transcript of this episode, simply insert the term "Wikipedia" on Wikipedia...
Zipperface? I thought that was a Cenobite from Hellraiser. 😂
“Its a good think it works in practice, because it certainly doesn’t work in theory” is my new favorite quote
2020 should have taught us all that no internet news outlet, tv/news media, or mainstream news source can ever be trusted again.
