I'll ignore your over the top theatrics and merely posit that perhaps
solving the problem of trust can only really be tacked once you've got a
firm grasp of human dignity.

Most people are not out to get you, you just need a proper system of
reputation that can signify the trustworthiness of someone you don't
know through the people you do.

I've often said that I think PPA keys shouldn't be added until the user
has had a chance to look at a well designed page about the signatory and
their connections to other people and organisations.

As I said, the tools we have a insufficient and the workflows we have
are immature, but don't just sit there with your hands under your bum
telling me it's not possible and we should give up.
