It&amp;#x27;s cliche to say how incredible an opportunity the Internet presents to share the world&amp;#x27;s knowledge, but the most valuable knowledge, the serious scholarship, is effectively withheld from the public. Imagine how some debates would change if more authoritative resources were easily accessible (I don&amp;#x27;t want to exaggerate the value of &amp;#x27;authority&amp;#x27;, but it&amp;#x27;s a much better starting point than Wikipedia) and cited with a link, such as in HN discussions. Partly as a result the Internet is mostly rumor and popular notions, not knowledge.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve even turned to SEP for mathematical concepts (to the extent it covers math), for example, because there is no free authoritative resource in that field.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>After 20 years, Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy thrives on the web</title><url>http://news.stanford.edu/news/2015/july/online-encyclopedia-philosophy-073115.html?a=1</url></story>

I&amp;#x27;m sure there are many insights one can draw about building valuable evolving repositories of knowledge from recognized exports.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>After 20 years, Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy thrives on the web</title><url>http://news.stanford.edu/news/2015/july/online-encyclopedia-philosophy-073115.html?a=1</url></story>
