In the New York Times interview "The Culture Wars Came for Wikipedia" Jimmy Wales comments thoughtfully:

... All the noise in the world and all these people ranting, that’s not the real thing. The real thing is genuine human knowledge, genuine discourse, genuinely grappling with the difficult issues of our day. That’s actually super-valuable. ...

... in Toki Pona, perhaps something like:

ijo lon li sona pona
ijo lon li toki pona
ijo lon li utala pona tawa ijo suli

toki pona rough translation
ijo lon li sona ponathe real thing is good knowledge
ijo lon li toki ponathe real thing is good discussion
ijo lon li utala pona tawa ijo sulithe real thing is good struggle about important things
