Wikipedia is absolutely great!

But despite this, it won’t solve all of our problems. The many projects of the Wikimedia Foundation are like building blocks in a potential common shared reality. It is on us to build them together, to maintain what was build, to broaden the scope. It requires multiple different, decentralized, collaborative projects to achieve this.

We need science and journalism to differentiate what we know.

We need education and communication to distribute this knowledge.

And we need many strong and independent collaborative and transparent organisations.

BorgNetzWerk is here to contribute in building just that.

Hi there, Tim here. Like “MaiLab” and “CGP Grey” modeled their project names around their own, I followed their footsteps. “Borg” NetzWerk can only cover a small fraction of what is necessary for a “common reality”, by definition. A single group of people, unless it’s all of humanity, can’t cover – well – all of humanity. And even then, time and time again, new generations will follow in our footsteps.

The goal is not to have one “BorgNetzWerk” for everything. Like Wikimedia, it can’t solve all problems. The idea is to be an example on how it can be done, to do what can be done, and to present footprints others can orient themselves on. Ideally, “Borg”-NetzWerk would just be one of hundreds in a much larger network towards a common reality.
