What do you know? How much can you possibly learn? If you read, studied, and mastered one Wikipedia article each weekday, then after about eleven- and one-half years you would have studied 3,000 articles. There are now more than 6 million English-language articles in Wikipedia, and the list is growing rapidly. After these years of effort, assuming you could remember all that you read, you would have learned 0.05% of the material in Wikipedia. But Wikipedia contains only the information that the editors have been able to collect, edit, and present so far. It is not all that is known, and it certainly does not include what is not yet known. But after this long-term study effort you would be about 99.95% ignorant of what is in Wikipedia. Perhaps another approach is needed.
