Among the most impactful inventions of humanity such as the wheel, semiconductors or the wing were the invention of writing and advent of mass printing. Use of printing press made possible wide spread of ideas and knowledge. This burst increased the number of educated people and in its turn people started the Age of Enlightenment and shaped modern civilization.
Why printing provoked such dramatic changes in society?
Sane beings and knowledge live in a natural symbiosis:knowledge are fruiting and growing while circulated among people and people do the same. We may even note that complexity of human civilization, its achievements and technological progress during all its history have been correlated with the amount of accumulated knowledge and possibility to share and navigate through it.
Last advances in knowledge management has been brought by modern machines together with AI. It empowered our skills of storing and searching through huge amounts of information to the very high. Today, machines are able to understand all data we've stored in digital form, derive new knowledge, find out inconsistencies in our researches and reveal hidden gems in researches. Today, machines are able to help us to reach the [technological singularity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity).
However, there is one remaining issue:knowledge is usurped by large publishers, corporations such as Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, T&F etc. Held by copyright, the knowledge remains out of reach for many researchers and for many enterprises that could launch the new Age of Enlightenment.
Knowledge is not just usurped, an entire system has been built which is putting in chains researchers, academia and readers:
- Large publishers promote and lobby approaches that encourage evaluation of researchers using the number of published articles in journals having high-impact
- Publishers make authors to pay for publishing tax-funded researches, then readers to pay for access to published tax-funded researches, while peer-reviewing is done for free by other researchers and this activity is considered as "honorable" in academia
- Publishers such as Elsevier repeatedly carried and carry campaigns against open access
Publishers managed to own knowledge at a time when anything could be owned. Afterwards, they ignored the advent of the Internet that made copying and mass reading free and went on collecting tribute. Since that times, modern publishers like Elsevier, Springer and others did nothing to spread knowledge but have only built paywalls for keeping knowledge away from those who cannot pay.
The world is obviously lagging behind modern state of the technologies. The copyrights on scientific publications should have been canceled decades ago but publishers' lobbying and mere slowness of political systems made us to live in the world where almost all researchers are using tools to bypass paywalls.
Why exactly knowledge and information cannot be a subject of property rights? There are three reasons.
Firstly, unlike material things, knowledge can be spread without costs. Every bit of knowledge increases prosperity of the entire society in a much greater degree than it takes from its author.
Paywalls built by copyright holders are making access unreasonably expensive and it deals a huge damage to our future:
- Doctors can't learn new medicine protocols that may save lives of our children.
- Engineers can't learn new approaches to build reliable and safe machines.
- Students can't learn how to build fair and modern society.
- Your neighbour will remain an ignorant person denying vaccines and supporting wars
Finally, what is knowledge? The preexistent order of things, it may be discovered by explorers but not changed or owned. Knowledge has no master.
Our goals, includes but not limited by:
- Cancelling any restrictions on spread of knowledge
- Making knowledge replicated reliably, available and navigable for every person on our pale blue dot
- Bridging AI and accumulated knowledge
- Promoting continuous education and building the cult of knowledge

**Navigation**
I can help to navigate through references and journals. There are multiple links and buttons
on view screen:
- Tags are clickable. Tap them. Particular versions of Telegram requires to tap appeared button `Start` after the tap on links.
- 📰 button opens articles from the same journal
- 🔗 button opens articles referring the currently opened one
Contact @the_superpirate or [Nexus community](https://t.me/joinchat/SKgGpCnrzMdkMRxJ) if you wish to share institutional access to libraries. We are looking for persons who are able to provide:
- VPS (low-grade, located in UK/US/Singapore) in Oracle / Digital Ocean / GitHub
- University VPNs credentials without 2FA
- One computer inside your university network for deploying safe v2ray server
**Becomea seeder**
Books and articles should not be stored in a single place. For these purposes, databases are replicated by torrents and [IPFS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_File_System). You can easily become a participant and use your drive and network to replicate data. Every piece you seed increases overall reliability and makes knowledge available for more people.
Just click at /seed to learn how to become a seeder
**Donatemoney**
Donations will be spent for:
- Development of the Nexus and making as much knowledge searchable as possible for everybody.
- Maintaining servers. Building and serving the index and using machine learning is a heavy computational task requiring a lot of GPUs, CPUs and disks.
- Learn [how to launch and use IPFS](https://docs.ipfs.tech/how-to/command-line-quick-start) in terminal
Then, request from the bot what you want to seed. It can be done by the following commands
**Seed**
Return books ordered by their update date:
```/seed <offset> <limit>
<query>?```
For example
```/seed 0 500
javascript```
returns 500 books of JavaScript
```/seed 500 500
javascript```
returns next 500 books
**RandomSeed**
Return random set of books every time
```/rseed <limit>
<query>?```
For example
```/rseed 1000```
returns random 1000 books. Had sent it multiple times you'll get different sets of books that could intersects with each other.
In response to both commands you'll get a file containing `md5`, `ipfs_multihashes` and `doi` for requested books.
You need to save this file to any directory, i.e. let it be `/home/reader/javascript-0-1000-1000.cid.txt`. Then you can start seeding by the following command in your terminal:
Now you have stored files on your PC and made them available for thousands of other people. Thank you!
Also, the bot now allows you to do a reverse-lookup. You can quest him `ipfs_multihashes:<hash>` and it returns you file metadata. Useful if you need to find out what exact file you pinned.
Passed in free form, I'm clear enough to understand various options
**Queries**
Set as in the search. Remember that all queries by default returns documents that contains at least one word from the query.
If you pass `fetal hemoglobin` documents containing only `fetal` or only `hemoglobin` will be accounted too. It might be not what you meant.
Restrict query to `+fetal +hemoglobin`. This query returns only documents which contain both words.
**Examples**
Physics of fluids vs. molecular biology
```/trends 2000 to 2020
+physics +fluids
"molecular biology"
```
Communism vs. memes
```/trends 2017 to 2022-08
communism
memes
```
