Jimmy Wales — The Sum of All Human Knowledge

from On Being · host On Being Studios

In the 15 years since its inception, Wikipedia has become as much a global community as a business venture - a living organism with a mission statement to make “the sum of all human knowledge available to every person in the world.” And a conversation with co-founder Jimmy Wales - one of the architects of that philosophy and the world-changing project that has grown up around it - is full of surprises. What Wikipedia is learning has resonance for our wider public life - about the imperfect but gratifying work of navigating truth amidst difference, ongoing learning, and dynamic belonging.
