Well that's the gravity in the question: consider our digital present, and what is in place for authentication today. Would you rather be able to create a new keypair on a whim, or give the opportunity for an adversary to revoke your credentials?
I got caught in my own joke a bit, because the point is: fuck passports!
There's likely a middle ground, and while I don't believe in national states, I do believe we need means of authentication in cyberspace. The question of validation on the other hand is very much a social one. And as far as I can tell, the only world where we would be unable to validate ourselves and our communities, is one where everybody is terminally online.
