When I first heard about Tools for Humanity and the World project, I was skeptical because it promotes biometric digital IDs. However, as I note in my video, they use all the right terms to reassure potential users. They repeatedly assert that they care about anonymity, security, privacy, and decentralization.

I don't have a background in technology, which made it difficult to navigate the highly technical nature of Tools for Humanity (TFH)/World's developments and operations. I am fortunate to have a close loved one with an extensive background in computer engineering, and I probably would not have attempted this deep dive without him generously lending his specialized expertise. Some additional information on his qualifications for helping me understand the TFH/World project: He studied computer engineering and electrical engineering at MIT (the MIT) and has spent much of his career in the field of firmware and embedded systems engineering. Both of these areas are exceptionally relevant to the development and production of the orb and its related systems.
