Our Mission

Towards Type Two
Exists

To write love letters for humanity.
To give away pen and pad so others write letters too.
To connect the disconnected.
To push, to grind, to fight, to love.
To soar.
To collapse the distances that separate us across space and time.
To preserve truth.
To cast votes for the best possible futures.
To build the tools that let everyone cast theirs.

To set free.
To meaning.
To freedom.

Our Work

Our first project is Flourish — a multi-monetary blockchain ecosystem designed around civilizational flourishing. It is built from first principles, features a novel architecture, and uses multiple currencies with distinct monetary policies to align economic incentives with the specific traits a civilization must develop to flourish.

Our Approach

We operate from first principles. We are more interested in uncovering what is actually true than replicating what is consensus.

We believe that which aligns with truth holds the greatest potential for value.

To get there, we inquire, research, build, and experiment.

Our view is long-term.

We are comfortable operating at different speeds. Some things require patience and rigor. Others require moving fast.

Every move is deliberate.

Victory can be earned.

Joyous determination forges the way.

Our Name

Towards Type Two, huh?

Yup.

Type Two, the Kardashev scale kind, not the diabetes kind.

Kardashev scale?

So there was this astronomer, Nikolai Kardashev. Russian guy, total chad. Back in the 60s, he came up with a way to measure the scale of a civilization by how much energy it is able to harness.

At Type I: it’s the capacity to harness all energy of the civilization’s planet.
At Type II: all the energy of its star.
Type III: all the energy of its galaxy.

This is known as the Kardashev scale.

Right now, for us Earthlings in 2026, we’re at about 0.73 on that scale.

Estimates put us ~100-200 years out from reaching Type I. And Type II is several thousand years after that.

Tough to estimate and that assumes we make it (fingers crossed).

Ok, so why the name then?

The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.

— William James

What does this have to do with all this blockchain stuff?

So energy is a lagging indicator; need civilization scale co-ordination before harnessing higher levels of energy, duh!

Therefore, (air quotes) The Blockchain (air quotes).

So why not Towards Type One then?

If what we build helps us get to Type One status, then it’ll keep being helpful in getting us Towards Type Two.

Oh… and don’t get any funny ideas about trying to take Towards Type One and spreading rumors that we’re the lame sequel…we already nabbed that domain.

Why not Towards Type Three?

Ack, too far.

Aaaaaannnnddd we got that one too (and this one and that one).

So what will Towards Type Two do when our civilization achieves Type Two status?

Hmm… probably start with a 301 Redirect. Then probably some dancing, some pizza, some high fives, then maybe take a nap for a bit.
