So Morphis is both a distributed data store and the ultimate solution to human suffering?

"MORPHiS is a global encrypted distributed datastore"

...

"It's about all of us, working together to create the world we want to live in, free from corruption, slavery, evil and manipulation; a vision many have thought impossible, until now."

I'd love to try out Morphis' anti-corruption and anti-manipulation features. Is there an API for these?

Seriously though, the project sounds interesting. It's cool to have a grandiose vision like this, but as the reader, I just don't see how it relates back to the project.

The end goal of my life's work of which MORPHiS is only the beginning is The World Brain. That is, humanity linked together as a unified conciousness. No matrix style needed; a keyboard is enough. An uncensorable high performance internet with an inherent web of trust acting as the synapses and our brains acting as the individual super neurons of that then neural net.

Read H.G. Well's essay by that name: https://sherlock.ischool.berkeley.edu/wells/world_brain.html

Wells is not talking about a centralized wikipedia. He is talking about a decentralized (even mentions Iceland as a safe harbour) and unified human conciousness.

Humanity can then determine its own destiny instead of having to use the stone-age system of paper ballots and inherenlty corrupt elected representatives who's representation has absolutely zero correlation with what the people they are claiming to represent actually want.

See the Princeton study that proved that: http://scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/fil...

For the World Brain to function, it needs a ultra high performance and non-kill-switch able distributed datastore to operate upon. Thus, MORPHiS is the foundational layer for that end. Of course such a layer also inherently is a better file sharing app than BitTorrent, a better communication platform than Email (See Dmail, already working great!), Etc., a better comment system than Disqus, a better Forum than HN. Expect the Disqus deprecating implementation out by the end of this month is my estimate.

When the Disqus/HN deprecating layer is out later this month hopefully, the community can move onto MORPHiS itself as well :)
