Zuby chats with Larry Sanger, philosopher and co-founder of Wikipedia, to discuss the origins and evolution of one of the world’s most influential knowledge platforms. Larry reflects on his role in building Wikipedia and explains why he later became one of its most outspoken critics. The conversation explores how bias appears on Wikipedia, why claims of neutrality often break down in practice, and the cultural and political consequences of centralized information power. They also examine whether true neutrality is even possible and why competition may be the only path forward.
