Grammar slight => Banks reference

Just a quickie!: A Boing Boing post drew this to my attention:

"Wales said censorship was ' antithetical to the philosophy of Wikipedia. We occupy a position in the culture that I wish Google would take up, which is that we stand for the freedom for information..."

Is this a slip by Wikipedia originator extrodinaire Jimmy Wales?; Does he already consider global society to be "the Culture" (alt. link) as described by Banks? Hehe, yay! + Yay for not being the Chinese government's bitches (which is what the quote is talking about).

  1. hmmm,... you never know! He may have defined the usage of the term earlier as something more general like: the culture that is created beyond geography etc, as in The Internet Culture which is being defined as the internet almost becomes a different plane of existence! But as I say,.. you never know!
