This was discussed under "Bootstrapping of trust" in the same article. Getting new ID requires money+people who vouch for you, both of which you can't access without having access to them. It's circular dependencies all the way down.
- basisword 4y agoAh, I glossed over it and missed that. I guess the point of this is that it's an absolute worst case scenario, which is highly unlikely for anyone. Most people will have an out (e.g. in reality you probably can find someone to vouch for you - doctor, priest, lawyer, if not friends that live close by and if you can find a friend nearby asking for a lend of $50 for ID application in your time of need will probably be successful).
