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 pona | the real thing is good knowledge |
| ijo lon li toki pona | the real thing is good discussion |
| ijo lon li utala pona tawa ijo suli | the real thing is good struggle about important things |
