I'm a big advocate of freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought.
If it isn't on Google, it doesn't exist.
Things work well when a group of people know each other, and things break down when it's a bunch of random people interacting.
I have always viewed the mission of Wikipedia to be much bigger than just creating a killer website. We're doing that of course, and having a lot of fun doing it, but a big part of what motivates us is our larger mission to affect the world in a positive way.
While I'm optimistic about the direction the world is headed, generally, I think there is a need for constant vigilance and pressure on repressive governments.
