I have just been given $60M in seed funding and 34 BTC in funding to make this a reality. Huge thank you to Softbank, YCombinator, and Jordan Peterson, who will be on the advisory board

To people saying "the list would be really long", it's true, but advances in technology give us the ability to store the entire list in the cloud. This is a good example of a counterintuitive reality that people's imaginations outside tech are struggling to catch up with.
