Proof-of-humanity can’t come soon enough.

We’re talking about privacy-preserving proof of age, but as we see here the real utility of such a system will be proof of humanity.

How do you define humanity?

How do you ensure it includes every human?

How do you ensure it doesn’t include every non-human?

I’m not even asking about computation or algorithms. I straight up don’t think you can make a definition that isn’t a tautology or an approximation. Both of which are useful, but neither of which can fit a _proof_.
