 Everyone has an agenda
Such a provocative statement makes me wonder two things:
1) What is the agenda of whoever it is at wikipedia that wrote the medical errors article, specifically, are they part of the wikipedia clique that Jaron Lanier (correctly) accuses of digital Maoism and hatred of any kind of "authority" whether it be right or wrong?
2) What is your agenda in writing this article?
I am also interested that in the list of dismissals you packed into the first section that you did not point the finger at academics. Was that an oversight, or should we ignore such sources as the Mount Sinai School of Medicine as well?
We do live in an era of data that has been wrongly labeled as an information age, but whether it be information, or the less useful data that we are inundated with, knowledge still consists of being able to discern what is useful in it, and wholesale rejection is not discernment. |
