Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales: Why trust creates knowledge | Sternstunde Philosophie | SRF Kultur

Who isn't familiar with Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia with over 60 million articles in more than 300 languages? It promises to collect the knowledge of humanity in a neutral and objective manner. Not everyone believes in this promise.
