Curated · Super-alignment paths

Humans can stay aligned. AIs can't.

Execution is being commoditized. Writing code, drafting a memo, designing a brand, summarizing a document. Every frontier model does each well enough now. What stays scarce is super alignment: the six dimensions through which a human stays coherent and irreplaceable as the world shifts. Signals only you've earned. Tempo only you can sustain. Judgment only you can apply. People aligned with you. Reputation that compounds. Runway that survives volatility. A Tract is an 8 to 16 week path that turns a fuzzy ambition into the concrete habits + milestones that grow one of those dimensions.

Why super alignment, not just AI literacy

AI literacy is a moving target. Every model release resets the curriculum. Super alignment is durable: a body of signals, tempo, judgment, relationships, reputation, and runway that stays yours regardless of which model wins. When models change, the aligned person updates their tools and keeps shipping. The unaligned person keeps starting over.

The six dimensions of super alignment

Each one survives the next model release. Most successful careers and operators stack two or three. Every Tract below grows at least one explicitly. Secondary dimensions are listed on each card.

Data alignment

Proprietary signals — customer interactions, operational telemetry, the relationships only you've built. AI compounds with data, and the people whose lives produce the data they actually trust stay aligned with reality, not with what a model imagined.

Velocity alignment

Iteration speed compounds. Operators who can ship a useful change weekly outpace teams of ten that ship monthly. Velocity stays aligned with the present — slower people drift behind every model release.

Judgment alignment

Knowing what to ship, what to leave out, what's good. Models keep getting better at execution; they're worst at taste under ambiguity. Cultivating it is a deliberate practice — and the alignment that survives every model that comes next.

Network alignment

Relationships with people who pay attention. 1,000 true fans, an email list, a community — these don't disappear when a new model ships. They're the only AI-resistant distribution, because trust travels through humans, not embeddings.

Reputation alignment

Reputation that survives a regrettable 1-star review or a competitor's marketing budget. Built slowly through artifacts you put your name on. AI can imitate output, but not the years of consistent shipping behind a track record.

Resource alignment

A war chest — runway, runway, runway. Lets you wait out short-term fads, hire ahead of revenue, and outlast people who run out of cash. Usually means saving a year of expenses while still in your day job, then defending that margin every quarter.
