If you re-lived your life could you get by on only learning from Wikipedia? And reach the same level you're at now?
Can you stare a Global South kid in the face and tell them they have not been disinherited by the Global North + South Elite? That they (or their family) are poor because of 'bad choices'?

At the same time, I agree with you about how the internet and technology have changed and continue to change. I agree that too much knowledge is still vaulted away, that a few companies have established large monopoly positions in tech, that they are destroying the egalitarian dream of the early internet.
