if I mentioned to you something called
it Carla never heard of Encarta okay
Microsoft started a project they put
millions of dollars into dreaming about
that called an era okay and Carter was
willing to be an online encyclopedia it
was going to be better than the world
better than cyclopædia pretend it's
gonna just be up-to-date constantly
updated by the best experts and they
hired the best estimates and they had
project managers and they had deadlines
and they had huge endless Bill
Gates deep pockets funding to make this
project work and then this little
upstart him all called Wikipedia and

bribed to do it because
let's be frank when you have to

the work is not intrinsically valuable
otherwise you come in and do it for free
you'd be doing it on your spare time
like Wikipedia editors with a passion
for it this is the secret motivation do
you have to or do you get to there those
are the two phrases do you have to or do
you get to you get to be part of this
you get to live this type of meaning we
teach our children and if we weren't
taught as children then we teach

a Shem you don't have to you get to
