This is a deeply philosophical question that masquerades as a technical one.
There are few shortcuts to go from information to knowledge. “there are no solutions, only tradeoffs.”
But relying on your social graph to get a glimpse of the world is a deeply natural and human approach and can act as the starting point of an unbounded search for truth. Hence one of the first tools I’ll leverage for Wikifreedia.
The Wikipedia approach, on the other hand, is inherently non-voluntary and bounded, fully reliant on consulting an expert/editor for the state of the world.
That’s why it’s finite.
“what’s the best version” becomes a trivial question: the approved one! But all the nuance of reality is fully lost in exactly the same way hidden non-voluntary algorithms deciding what’s relevant to you on Twitter.
