Wikipedia lacks the habit or tradition of respect for expertise.

God pursues us into whatever dark place we've landed and behind whatever locked door holds us in.

As a cultural-intellectual power and a moral ideal, collectivism died in World War II. If we are still rolling in its direction, it is only by the inertia of a void and the momentum of disintegration.
