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?)

what about an infinity gauntlet of 5 proof points, all of which combined suffice:
- humanity (video verification)
- uniqueness (biometric)
- behavior (usage patterns)
- reputation (community-driven)
- location (gps)

downside is if thanos steals them he is now me fair and square

There is a large chasm between a human identity and the humans's consent to its use. Tech exploited this in the last decade chasing marketing dollars, governments will continue exploiting this because "safety".
