Everyone once in awhile someone sends me a link to an article on wikipedia saying I would find it interesting… and as a matter of fact, I found it especially interesting: I wrote it!
Or, I added a quote to Daniel Kahneman’s page that has since appeared in almost every bio of Kahneman that I’ve seen since. For example, David Brooks wrote a column on Kahneman a few months ago and used the same exact quote I added, so that’s millions of people indirectly.
Silver lining: in the long run, there’s a decent chance more people will read what you wrote on Wikipedia than if you put it in a book.
Vastly, vastly more likely.

Boggles the mind, really.
