I think that reality exists and that it's knowable.

The Supreme Court has held that code is speech. And it doesn't matter that it's done on a computer or done face to face or done in a newspaper, reporting the facts of the world is protected speech.

My being some kind of celebrity - not a real celebrity, isn't a welcome part of the job.

Dialing down is not an option for me.

Frankly, and let me be blunt, Wikipedia as a readable product is not for us. It's for them. It's for that girl in Africa who can save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around her, but only if she's empowered with the knowledge to do so.

When you consider the magnitude of how many people use Wikipedia globally, there is a potential here for really creating some noise and getting some attention in the U.S.

I spent lots of time reading the encyclopedia and really kind of an eclectic approach to learning things - not very structured.
