There is a lot of truth in this post. At least, it really describes how our search for ‘knowledge and understanding’ is evolving. However, what remains an open question is to what extent this really will be the better approach in the long run.

In theory, it should.

However, whatever we might think about it, reality is that today’s ‘Crap Detection’ still is largely done by individuals who were educated, trained and, if you want, conditioned ‘the old way’. Apparently, even combined with today’s crappy tools for the identification of relevancy, reputation, influence, etc. this still seems to deliver a ‘better’ result.

However, can we simply assume that this still will be the case once the knowledge scene has been replaced by the new generation of ‘collective sense-makers’?

Not so sure about that.
