Biometrics are public keys you can’t throw away or hide. 

That’s why recognizing them can be the basis for tractable and sybil-resistant federated blocking (eg no-fly lists, Face ID).

AI can be trained to recognize these. Only non-AI alt is monopolistic unique identifiers like passports.

There’s something here that feels like it rhymes with the idea that the state is that which has a monopoly on violence.

A centralized (controlled?) system is that which has the ability to block/exclude?

(That’s not it, but maybe something in that general direction?)
