I thought this article was somewhat interesting... I suppose I didn't realize that the philosophy of information discussions over Wikipedia in a certain sense originate with the passion (here, 'fundamentalism') if its founder.
Preview: Wikipedia was partially designed by this demi-celebrity who is an Objectivist (ie. believes in an objective, knowable reality). Many critics claim that Wikipedia is essentially relativist, a sort of meeting-point for different realities. This co-founder disagrees, claiming that it is a process working towards a consensus about reality. If philosophy of knowledge and cyber-politics interests you, then you should read the whole article. Oh, and it talks about Ayn Rand a lot.
