The Wikipedia paradox: nothing you can read about on Wikipedia is as interesting as the fact that Wikipedia exists
I think if you grabbed any famous thinker from centuries ago and showed them Wikipedia and told them it was free for anyone to access, they would say it is humanity's crowning achievement and would be indifferent to the moon landings, modern medicine, flight, or anything else you showed them

The US importing stuff from other countries is "ripping off" America. Therefore, the minerals deal just signed with Ukraine is ripping off America.
