Let us create the favourable conditions for the journey to the Type 1 civilization
Many people have different opinions about the characteristics of a Type 1 civilization. These are all things we don’t know yet. It mostly deals with the technologies and way of life that we are going to achieve in the future. So we are discussing a completely imaginary world. The ability to use and store energy is what makes a society a Type 1 civilization. We are now mainly dependent on fossil fuels for our energy needs. We extract chemical energy from fossil fuels. We have the ability to convert it into mechanical energy and electricity as we need it.
In a Type 1 civilization there are no hierarchies in society. There will be no distinction between people in society. There will be no difference between men and women. In the modern world, there is no any particular job only for men or women.
Humans have gone through many stages of evolution. Modern humans who lived as hunters later began to live in groups. This must be because they have learned that hunting in groups is more effective than hunting alone. Sometime later they started to live by farming. Agriculture forced them to stay permanently in one place. As societies developed, kingdoms, monarchies, and royal rules emerged. Due to the authoritarian nature of monarchy, many countries have abandoned it now. Presently we are experimenting with democracy. We can understand democracy as an outdated system. When there were changes in the social system and human values, it is time to leave the democratic system as we left the monarchy. Due to the rapid advancement of technology, there is a need to develop an alternative governance system that is more secure and sensitive.
An effective system
As soon as energy becomes free of cost, revolutionary changes will happen to our socioeconomic environment. Our living expenses will come down significantly.
About three-quarters of our living expenses are spent on energy. We can use solar energy as electricity and we can replace the fuel which we use for cooking. As solar-powered vehicles become more widespread, our travel costs will drop dramatically. Along with this, the cost of cargo movement will be reduced by three-quarters percent. This will cause the price of our daily use items to decrease drastically. This way, all the money we save can be used to develop our infrastructure. For example, when the cost of living is reduced, each person can save a good amount of money. This amount can be used to buy a good house or to improve other facilities. If the governments of the respective countries are good, they can build good roads and expand other travel systems. Therefore, the same development will be possible in all parts of the world. Nobody will remain homeless or poor.
