"''Doctor''? No other title? A ''scholar''? And he rates above the civil authority?"

"Why, certainly," replied Hardin, amiably. "We're all scholars more or less. After all, we're not so much a world as a scientific foundation—under the direct control of the Emperor."

this is funny i was talking about wikipedia to some east coast small towner guy from an old job who was picking up some weed off methat it seems inspired at least in part by the asimov idea of encyclopedia galactica and the indexers etc. then i go through some shit about ikipedia and low and behold a text describing how wiki content works uses an exerpt from the foundation to illustrate the differances between html and wiki content. this seems highly coincidental any information that seems to corroborate will confirm my suspicion in that point, cool. sci fi writing the future, how do they make those wonderful predictions?
