Sovereignty Enabling Technologies and Humane Design - two sides of the same coin

I would like to draw attention of W3C Credentials Community Group
(https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-credentials/) and Humane
Tech Community Forum (https://community.humanetech.com/) about the
existence of each other and about the affinity between their ideas.

Humane Tech Forum discusses Humane Design.
Humane Design is about designing products that have more privacy, less
notifications, less unnecessary engagement, less addiction, less envy
spirals. Its about creating ethical products that view their users as
humans, not as sources of revenue. It about bringing more long term
happiness into humans lives.

Credentials Community Group works on Sovereignty Enabling Technologies
(such as specifications for Decentralized Identifiers, Verifiable
Credentials).
Sovereignty Enabling Technologies is about giving humans more privacy,
more security, more control over their digital assets. It is about
creating Self-Sovereign Identities that no one can delete or do some
actions (like sign documents) under the name of the identities,
without the permission of the people who own them. CCG work paves the
way to the adoption of Sovereign Identity, Sovereign Ownership
(sovereign ownership over documents that represent assets), Sovereign
Money (sovereign ownership over blockchain tokens).

Humane Design and Sovereignty Enabling Technologies are two sides of
the same coin.
**If you build product based on Sovereignty Enabling Technologies
please design it using Humane Design. If you design a product using
Humane Design, please build it based on Sovereignty Enabling
Technologies.**

I'm building Validbook based on Humane Design and Sovereignty Enabling
Technologies.
Here is a discussion from the user perspective about Validbook on
Humane Tech Forum -
https://community.humanetech.com/t/the-nature-of-issues-human-nature-vs-attention-based-business-model/2412/13.
Here are posts and tangent discussions on CCG mailing list, where I
try to open view on how Validbook is going to be built from a
technology perspective:
_Why did the PGP Web of Trust fail?_

_A proposal to cooperate.._.  -

_Validbook idea in a nutshell..._  -
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-credentials/2018Jun/0052.html

Key terms: Humane Design; Sovereignty Enabling Technologies; Sovereign
Identity; Sovereign Ownership; Validbook.
