Vitalik’s latest thoughts on Ethereum alignment are on point. He highlights the need to balance decentralization with cooperation, so Ethereum doesn’t end up as a bunch of fragmented projects. 

By making alignment measurable—through things like open source, following standards, and ensuring decentralization—projects can be evaluated on real metrics instead of just "having the right friends."

His focus on "positive-sum" goals is something i can totally relate to. Projects shouldn’t just benefit themselves but contribute to the wider ecosystem and even global causes.
