But Worldcoin doesn't solve the problem of unequal distribution. The real world still exists.

Even if the food/money is perfectly evenly distributed via Worldcoin, a gang boss can have his muscle go around and threaten violence if people don't give him their share of the food/money. That's the problem, right?

The kind of injustice that spurs people to build Worldcoin can't be solved by Worldcoin.



Well, unexpectedly, I think Worldcoin focuses on the digital world, as it's trying to be a digital currency.

The problem is a real one, lookup "sybil attacks", which is what I think Worldcoin is trying to defend against.
