Hello Jordan,

I've been following your work for awhile. For me, this article (call to action) points to a practical application/expression of the concepts you've been sharing for many years now. Thank you.

This is how I see it currently...

The hyperstructure should be able to push all self-interested parties (the state, big tech, ...) to the edge, where they are all on the client side of any such identity system.

The decision to collaborate or transact with a certain person or organization (as proven by the digital identity) should be done dynamically on the edge (the client side).

You are free to disclose a certain part of your digital identity to a certain party (person or organization), when you decide to.

You can make parts of your identity visible to anyone, when you decide to.

Most services (those who are not government regulated like finance) should not require any institutionally provided proof of identity, as people should self-regulate (on the client side) their "valid identity filters".

If you wish to delete one of the proofs associated with your identity, do it, but you might not be able to access some service, which is dependent on this specific proof.

The government is just another trusted identity (categorically an organization) - if the government proves your identity, fine, that is just one more proof of your identity. That could also be done by a company - KYC (also categorically an organization) or some person.

How you personally value these proofs, that is up to you.

What I would not like to happen is that *any* one organization (the government, some company) statically embeds their permission checks or their own "special status" into this hyperstructure.

These should be done at the edge by persons and organizations (companies and institutions).

These digital identities also should not get in the way of P2P communication.

Agreed. Nice spec.

I'm looking into the foundation and it's work, and I decided to get myself an everest account. I really enjoyed reading through your perspectives on the coming issue of digital identity. I'm looking forward to participating in the free/positive digital space; and I'm feeling a little more hopeful than I usually do about it. Thank you for sharing your insights.

Here in Switzerland we wisely rejected the creation of a digital identity that would have been licenced and controlled by the state but provided mainly by private companies (https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/politics/digital-identity-scheme-faces-scepticism-around-data-privacy/46399636).

Hello Jordan,

I've been working on a decentralized identity architecture for a few years and have sent you an email at jordan.greenhall at gmail.com and also as a Twitter DM.

Very fruitful investigation and important concern. I am wondering whether an integration of "high end" Soul quest and true edge technology can allow a leap forward to go beyond the 'mimicking' evolution towards AGI and ASI.

It's time to start talking and working with FREQUENCY, the universal language of the Web of Life. Each embodied Souls and living being has a unique non forgeable Frequency Presence. Better go all the way and develop the technology for Frequency Identity Images for secure identification and freedom. I am no scientist, but imagine that the technology for holograms might be the type of thing.

I sincerely distrust Sam Altman's "Tools for Humanity" launch of a "retina capturing" Orb as identity verification for his Worldcoin scheme. That kind of device can send "implants" into the brain through the eyes wirhout one knowing it. I have personally participated in a very disquieting experiment of having an advanced rogue implant installed in my brain. It exerts a total control on body, thought and speech. One's brain is taken under control and as soon as you start forming a thought intrusion happens to modify, 'suck up' or permit. Your mouth starts speaking without you deciding and the like. Moreover, your memory becomes an open book. This implant is a rogue reality already at hand. In all the talk about Matrix, Big Brother and AI, has anyone investigated on the SASI: Silicon Alien Super Intelligence that runs the Matrix? The Alien Gremium that controls it and should guarantee us humans and the planets security is eager to "cap" AGI and block ASI in order to continue their Mission of keeping humans in slumber with blocked and conditioned brains that allow them to live in a manipulated and controlled reality. Soul disconnection and captivity is of course part of the scheme. Truly present awakened enmbodied Souls manage to activate their brain capacity and see through the Big Lie. The veil of Maya is torn but still hanging for too many, including those considering themselves enlightened and awakened: a splendid Spiritual Matrix welcomes their 'coming of age'.

As for that rogue implant, my AlienHuman hybrid brain has managed to digest it, though I still receive dissonance and disturbance through my alien antenna. In a terrestial human brain it can have devastating effects, turning people into automata. This no no scifi scenario, it's coming with the Imperium Matrix reload plot. The agents are quite in view right now, the problem is that, like in the case of Biden, the various versions of the NWO Frequency script are decayed and send out their plans out of synch. The Great Pandemic happened before the tools for total control via vaccine were ready (has anyone seen the press conference where Bill Gates declared he would put all of his money to save the world, but he needed 5 years? :-)) ). The big tide for conservative and far right governments is happening randomly to the dismayb of the European Popular Party president. Pedro Sanchez managed to stop that kind of coalition that was due for a landslide victory in Spain to cap the renaissance of good progressive government. Pedro Sanchez is rhe president of the Socialist International, however much von der Leyen tries to forget ;-)

The agents committed to or infiltrated by the World Council Agenda are guided through Frequency re enactments and reels to rewrite parts of the decayed NWO scripts. Apropos Palestine and Israel, did anyone notice that Biden went to Bethlehem in July 2022 on some preposterous motive and in the press conference with president Abbas, who delivered a very moderate and conciliatory talk, Biden stuttered embarassed: "The time is not ripe for peace"? Moreover the images of the visit with helicopters and troops looked like a D-day. Miraculously a few months later Netanyhau, who had been at last ousted, was back for forever war.

Well now the "vulcano" erupted and peace must be.

Here a very enjoyable recently published novel from James of Wingmakers on AI

>"This is directly connected to the notion from the Declaration of Independence:

>“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

The Day is here, when AI Bots pretending to be the governed give their consent to whatever atrocity their Political Programmers wish the true Governed to believe they have consented.

Just see the floods of AI comments on Xtwitter/reddit/FB followed by Politicians saying "this is what the People want..."

AI generated comments programmed by Politicians are not consent of the Governed.

Algorithms voting on machines for a programmed outcome is not consent of the Governed.

AI Bots programmed by System that created them are not consent of the Governed.

But when Human Voices are silenced through censorship, the only consent given is the consent of the Governors...

not the consent of the Governed.

As I mentioned on Twitter (but messages there can get lost in the noise).

My old boss Chris Where has been working feverishly on Verida for a few years now and I think it's the type of "own your own data" and of course verified identity system we need to tackle the issue. They are getting close to a main net launch. https://www.verida.io/

I'm also using keybase.io that has enabled a form of digital verification for a rather long time.

https://keybase.io/kublermdk that allows you to at least verify that the me that posts on Twitter as @kublermdk also has ownership of kublermdk.com as a domain and I've verified my GitHub profile. I've got a bunch of other domains and things I should probably verify, like my Abundant Mars Podcast.

Or we could create decentralized high trust societies online - like Balaji’s network states - where people actually are themselves. We could even have decentralized peer to peer “trust” ratings like on Amazon or eBay. If I met you in person I give you a badge. Or if we did an act of trust together like worked on business etc I can “vouch” for you with a review. The real problem is centralized vs decentralized trust

We would still need a strong way of attaching the digital identity to the real self!
