@lisacrost @tophtucker Parts of Wikipedia do seem to have that as a major goal. Wikipedia as a whole, probably not. Same for many books

@lisacrost @tophtucker It's a question of definitions, but at least as I think of it, Max is in the news business.

@tophtucker @lisacrost How do you think Vox (etc) have succeeded? And failed? What else could they have tried?

@lisacrost @tophtucker It's hard for me to believe I won't like it. The title & cover alone are almost worth it. Great coffee-table book!

@tophtucker @lisacrost Vox looks to me like punditry with a data veneer. 538 is much better, and ourworldindata is much better still.
