> Apart from implementation details of hardware platforms and runtimes

The platform described to share all this knowledge and code is beyond what humanity can build today. The manifesto described that we share "All cells exist in a single, globally shared hierarchy". The trust problem has many forms, from trusted medical info on Wikipedia, Facebook fake news filtering, to open Github code with hidden backdoors.

That's an awesome list, thanks. There seem to be two concept intermingled here though. First is decentralization which I'm a big fan of not only for social and humanitarian reason but also because I'm convinced that it's the better design. And while there are many problems still unsolved, there are also very promising approaches. The other one is trust which is required in centralized and decentralized networks but has a very different taste in both and I think it might be actually easier so solve in an open, decentralized environment. Lastly, I wanted to point out that while all cells exist in a single address space, that doesn't mean that every cell is accessible to everyone.

We went to the moon. A lot of people said that was beyond what humanity could build then, too.
