## Theses

- [Misalignment is a Monetary System Design Problem](https://towardstypetwo.com/theses/misalignment-is-a-monetary-system-design-problem.md): Alignment is impossible unless intent is encoded within money. Current money drives behavior everywhere, while pointing nowhere.
- [Flourishing is the North Star of Alignment](https://towardstypetwo.com/theses/flourishing-is-the-north-star-of-alignment.md): Money must contain value to align a system. The only condition where it loses all value is human extinction. Flourishing creates the greatest possible distance from that point. It is the required North Star.
- [Four Traits are Required to Flourish](https://towardstypetwo.com/theses/four-traits-are-required-to-flourish.md): Four traits — Knowledge & Understanding, Prowess, Benevolence, and Wisdom — are the necessary ingredients for civilizational flourishing.
- [Money Exists to Facilitate Meaning](https://towardstypetwo.com/theses/money-exists-to-facilitate-meaning.md): Money exists to facilitate meaning. Meaning first, everything else second.
- [Generosity Uncaps Network Growth](https://towardstypetwo.com/theses/generosity-uncaps-network-growth.md): Greed contracts networks. Generosity expands them. Applied with precision and celebrated with meaning, generosity uncaps growth entirely.
- [Open Source is the Eventual Dominant Strategy](https://towardstypetwo.com/theses/open-source-is-the-eventual-dominant-strategy.md): Three forces—Meaning, Decentralized Capital, and AI—are converging to dissolve the advantages of closed-source incumbents, driving towards a future where open source is the eventual dominant strategy.
