We talk about Wikipedia's growth and how it has been taken over by a certain demographic of users. We talk about possible solutions to biases on Wikipedia. We also talk about Wikipedia's refusal to censor at the behest of governments like the totalitarian state of China. Larry now calls himself an "ex-founder" and has moved onto other projects.

About Fountainhead Forum
From the publisher's feed
The Fountainhead Forum is a show dedicated to discussing many important topics that are key to living a great life. This includes libertarian politics, the values of the Enlightenment, and self-improvement. I may not endorse or agree with every guest on the Forum. However, I do attempt to bring on people who are sincerely looking for understanding and knowledge. This may include guests whose values seem to be polar opposites on the outside, but are very much alike on the inside.
The ideas and opinions expressed by guests appearing on the Fountainhead Forum do not necessarily reflect the ideas and opinions of Chris Baker or any other hosts of the Fountainhead Forum.
