We don't write shit down 169 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: because we have the evolutionary experience coming from dinosaurs to 170 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 2: know that it could get all wiped away by a meteor. 171 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: So live in the now, man, But you humans are 172 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 2: told from academia or the comments section that even though 173 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: you use it all the time, you should never use it. 174 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 2: Don't quote it, go to it cited in the sources. 175 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 2: It's almost a felony to mention that's where you learned 176 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: about something. Yet it's the ninth most visited website in 177 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 2: the world according to Wikipedia, so you know it's gotta 178 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 2: be a little true because you think they gas themselves 179 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: up to number three or something. And it's easy to use, 180 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,599 Speaker 2: it's easy to learn, and by that I mean you 181 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: don't have to learn anything. You just Wikipedia the thing 182 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: and there's your answer. Kind of, I guess, But what 183 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 2: is it? Lest you think I'm asking, put your hands down, 184 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 2: because I already did it. And by that I mean 185 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: I Wikipedia. What is Wikipedia? Which makes this whole moment ironic. Surprise, chumps, 186 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 2: we're doing irony. We're getting complicated. You didn't think we 187 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 2: were gonna take a slow ride at the beginning of 188 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 2: this fucking year, did you you remember last year? You 189 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: need a Gandolf to drag your stoned asses into the 190 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: sun because they're shit to do. Times are hard, hobbits, 191 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: so sober up, nut up and dig fuckers there's no 192 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: place for lazy intellectualizing. Nay, tough times call for the truth. 193 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 2: And the truth is, according to Wikipedia, quote, the property 194 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,599 Speaker 2: of being in accord with factor reality. Reality, according to 195 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: said Wikipedia is quote the state of everything that exists, 196 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 2: not how they might be imagined. Existence, according to aforementioned 197 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: previously stated of Wikipedia, is is the state of having 198 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 2: being or reality, in contrast to non existence and non beings. 199 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 2: So basically truth is being in reality according to Wikipedia. 200 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 2: So according to Wikipedia, it's like a college professor you 201 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 2: know and can smell a super baked midday quote. Truth 202 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: is what it is man, and Wikipedia has been a 203 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: part of your reality since two thousand and one, turning 204 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 2: twenty five years on January fifteenth, twenty twenty six, which 205 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 2: in reality is today. The tale begins back in October 206 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 2: of nineteen ninety nine, according to Wikipedia, where formal financial 207 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: trader and Internet entrepreneur Jim Donald Jimble Wales began thinking 208 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 2: about online encyclopedia built by volunteer citation needed. He was 209 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: super into the open source movement, which was super into 210 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 2: volunteer group Thinkage, and in January of two thousand he 211 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 2: brought a lot philosopher Larry Sanger, who was super into epistemology, 212 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: which corn to Wikipedia is quote the branch of philosophy 213 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: that examines the nature, origin, and limits of knowledge. Because 214 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 2: if you're gonna start thinking about group thinking, you're gonna 215 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: need a guy who's good at thinking about thinking. I 216 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: tried going deeper into pistemology, but it started a pisting 217 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: me off, so I climbed back out of that Google 218 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 2: hole and back into Wikipedia. Those two started New Pedia, 219 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 2: which was corn to Wikipedia, a multi language online encyclopedia 220 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 2: whose articles were written by volunteer contributors with relevant subject 221 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 2: matter expertise, reviewed by expert editors before publication, and license 222 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: as free content. And it died in two thousand and 223 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: three because yawn. But in its first year, Wales and 224 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: Sanger began messing around with a New Pedia way to 225 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 2: aggregate the information, edit and correct it, involving something called wikis. Now, 226 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: at first I thought maybe you humans had made contact 227 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: with an underground world of fraggle like intellectuals that were 228 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: super good at proofreading. Turns out now reality is where 229 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: we live. Wikis are core ina Wikipedia a form of 230 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 2: hypertext publication on the Internet which is collaboratively edited and 231 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 2: managed by its audience directly through a web browser, which 232 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: means it's a website text written together by a group, 233 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 2: editable in real time. Basically, it's the wall near the 234 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 2: pisser in a gas station bathroom. Anyone can write on 235 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: it and it'll usually be something racist, but on occasion 236 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: you'll see something piffy while you're pissing. It's called a 237 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 2: wiki after the first user editable website, Wiki Wiki Web, 238 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 2: which was not created by Will Smith. I know. I 239 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: checked Wikipedia. It's the Hawaiian word for quick, and that 240 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 2: tracks because you can edit in real time if you 241 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 2: know what you're doing. But I don't. I had to 242 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: look it up on Wikipedia. Speak it out. Jim Wells 243 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: and Larry Sanger found that using wikis for new Pedia 244 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: helps speed up the process of creating a free encyclopedia, 245 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 2: because if you want experts, you gotta pay for them. 246 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: But as anyone who's ever used the Internet to voice 247 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: an idea knows, if you put it out there on 248 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 2: its own, eventually the experts can't help themselves, and they're 249 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 2: gonna correct you anyway. Sanger is credited, according to Wikipedia, 250 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: for coining the term Wikipedia, and according to Sanger, according 251 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 2: to Wikipedia, it was quote a silly name for what 252 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: was at first a very silly project. But that silly 253 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 2: only lasted so long. The goal of a publicly editable 254 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 2: encyclopedia has merged with the world of the wiki and 255 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: the Promethean flame raged and from the depth of a 256 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: hypertext chain maintained by volunteers under the core pillars of neutrality, respect, free, encyclopedia, 257 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 2: no rules. It's called to quote, be bold, but not 258 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: reckless in updating articles echoed throughout the Internet, as well 259 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 2: as its nurturing hand held out to thinking humans a 260 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: warmth in the cold realm of reality, where the haunting 261 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 2: mother wish quote and do not agonize over making mistakes. 262 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 2: They can be corrected easily because every past version of 263 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: each article is saved. Wikipedia was launched January fifteenth, twenty 264 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: five years ago to the day right now. And how 265 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: do I know all of this because it was according 266 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: to Wikipedia itself. Rejoice and well actually, for on this 267 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 2: day it has begun reality, creating its own history in 268 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: its own time, according to itself. So, students, when I 269 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: ask what is Wikipedia, I'm asking what are we? What 270 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: are you? Are you? Wikipedia? Is it in the room 271 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: with us, or is it the room itself? Nay, for 272 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: it is us editing our reality together, crafting truth, collectively, 273 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: finding errors and building what is and ever shall be. 274 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: You and I are the we Wikipedia and the admin 275 00:15:53,480 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: said it was good citation needed, and sure there's gonna 276 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: be anti Wikipedias trolls in the wickedom heretics of the 277 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: Wiki Patican conserved with the wiki how and the wiki 278 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 2: why and the wiki wild, Wiki Wiki Wild. There's always 279 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 2: gonna be someone in the comments crossing out the words 280 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 2: with a sharpie on the wall the gas station bathroom, 281 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 2: adding the punctuation on the various usages of your well. Actually, 282 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: Negatorians have been around forever since the origins. I'm sure, 283 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: I'm sure there was some douce you want to Socrates 284 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 2: solo shows. It was like, hey, so great's she ot 285 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 2: she rate your balls? But in the original Ancient Attic 286 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 2: Greek Socrates would have spoken according to Wikipedia students, class, 287 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: my dear hobbits, times are tough. There is no place 288 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: for lazy intellectualizing. Nay, tough times call for the truth. 289 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 2: And the truth is Wikipedia is not the truth. Wikipedia 290 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: is not your exist at. Wikipedia might not even be 291 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 2: reality at least according to the Wikipedia article, which has 292 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 2: a warning on the article about reality that a quote 293 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 2: needs additional citations for verification. Wikipedia like a new year 294 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: is a beginning. It is a place to start. Scroll down, 295 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 2: check the citations because the journey to the truth is long. 296 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: And need it now more than ever. So pack out 297 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 2: your opinions, grab your stick, and get to walk in 298 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 2: because we need it now more than we ever have 299 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: needed it in the years since Wikipedia began twenty five 300 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 2: years ago.
