Like the Seattle protests, this revolutionary movement will owe much to the Internet as a means to rebuild communities. Accordingly, I see the PI site as a 'place' where people ''should'' feel at home, where the highest standards of collaboration are maintained and where people can finally experience what other projects such as Wikipedia promised, but never delivered. Citizendium was buit upon the "real names policy" as an alternative to the mob rule of Wikipedia; what is needed is more demanding: a real ''person'' policy, whereby we treat fellow members exactly as if they were in front of us. The growing use of Web cams, in Vlogs and Podcasts, for instance, expresses such a need for a real presence to others. + + It is important to recognize philosophy as a practice that can, that is, practised early in life. It might seem 'cliché' to say that children are wiser than we think, and ask questions that we tend to forget to ask. Perhaps less 'cliché' is to say that children often pose the same questions that most of Humanity has asked and still ask... while we, the Enlightened, courageously face the intricacies of a complex, but still mechanistic world[[FootNote(This sentence does not imply that there are some irreducible mysteries. I mostly address the general belief that the intellectual elite has to resist with facts the popular triumph of irrationality)]]. + + I will devote special care to the scientific issues that citizens really want to know about, but are afraid to ask.
