Humans currently speak a different language than our technology. You're moving closer to a human solution by mapping unstable identifiers (private keys, signatures) to human identifiers. At the core, humans want to say "ignore everything that isn't from a friend or family member, unless it's an emergency" Expressing that with technology is hard, especially when people try to solve for identity with technology. Identity is a social construct, it lives outside of cryptographic proof. The systems we build do very little to try and map cryptographic proof back outside the system to identity. School clubs, hospitals, governments, family, names, friends, etc. are all social constructs. Some social constructs are stronger than others (hospitals and governments have a lot of steps involved in making the social construct!) but they're all still social constructs. Identity is fiat. There is no way around it. Spoon boy says it best: > Do not try to bend the spoon. That is impossible. > Instead, only try to realize the truth. > There is no spoon. > Then you'll see it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself
