The Nexus is the Gutenberg press x1000. I've made some parts of Chaol's quote below bold.
Here's an interesting blog about how there is an internet "reformation" happening now, at [

Some choice quotes:
"The Gutenberg press
allowed readers to examine source material by making the sources available. This was the revolutionary act. The Renaissance emphasized conclusions derived from that fundamental inspiration. The Reformation in its way emphasized sources too."

The Gutenberg press allowed the general public to examine source material far more easily.
Blockchain does the same. It makes some information about transactions public. However, in the Nexus it will allow people to more closely examine the 'source' of their reality. e.g., where does this aspect of my perception come from?
The Chinese actually invented the printing press some
one thousand years before Gutenberg. But the Chinese alphabet has over 10,000 common characters, which made it impractical to use for printing.
In effect, the Chinese didn't
tokenize their alphabet to make more efficient representations. The English alphabet, consisting of only a few tokens, made the printing press practical.
The Gutenberg press was the force behind the European Renaissance.
The Nexus will be the force behind the Human Renaissance. It will allow anyone to "publish" their reality (or parts of it) and share it with anyone else, perform intra-reality transactions, and more.
