Our guest today is Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia.  He is currently organizing teaching videos on WatchKnowLearn.org .  He is a also a philosopher,  who has taught philosophy at Ohio State University and applies some of his philosophical ideas to building new things which solve problems in new ways.

We’re going to find out about some of the big ideas Larry has learned about organizing content in ways that engage people and some of his experiences bringing people together and creating communities.  We will also learn about how he sees technology changing the relationship between the individual and society.
