It solves most of it, but only the digital parts. This is my domain, etc.

To verify a physical person exists we'd need meetups. Unique personhood verification parties. Other real people sign that you were in a place at a time, thus you couldn't be at another place at the same time.

These would all need to occur together, globally synchronized and anyone 'there' would be granted 'individuality' privileges that we'd only want real individuals doing. In a social/community scenario something like UBI or access to food/real resources.

I mostly agree with the implementation, however I feel like offline events that require presence at the specific place at a specific time would be too cumbersome for many people, thus limiting the adoption of such approach. Plus, there's a trust aspect (how large the verifier party should be?) and lack of anonymity.

There's a project called Idena which does synchronous verification events online, where people should solve a Turing test in a strictly limited time. It's not perfect, but it does create a trustless network of semi-unique pseudonymous identities

Tribes aren't typically that big. We don't need a secular global thing. We need our city/state/church/club micro-community to use this for access to the shared tribal resources. The WHY we're being verified is the most important question. Why verify personhood and keep anonymity? Personhood is useful locally, but really not needed globally. We shouldn't be making global governments of anything. Global things, where we aren't co-local, just requires the digital parts, which we have.
