PoW mining as a route towards achieving a Type 1 civilization and beyond?

Well, the Dyson Sphere needs to come first.

In theory we could begin development today, but who will pay for the materials is the big question.

The largest problem we have right now is transportation of goods and services and climate change.
 I suppose having more energy would make it easier to refrigerate and transport food from one place to another but right now the big issue we have those two items .

I agree with this. Being able to combat climate change while at the same time being able to transport and refrigerate will solve a large chunk of the world's problems right now.

Not everything of course, but a good solid chunk.

I disagree, immigration is only the consequence, not the problem, We must realize what and more importantly who is causing the problem which leads to immigration.

recent example,
There wouldn't be massive immigrations to Europe from Syria if certain countries/organizations wouldn't be trying to make war and sell weapons, do you wanna live in war infested country? hell, no!
Why the fuck don't they leave them alone, then there wouldn't be any immigrations anywhere...

Dissolution of Yugoslavia - at some point in history I'd dare to say most powerful country in the europe, what a carefully laid out plan that was...and at the end as a big boom let's make them hate and kill each other, good job USA, whatever you touch you turn into a warzone.
I mean who the fuck else in the world invests so much money into weapons and whatnot than fuckin' USA??

I dont really see immigration as a relevant variable.

Do you guys think we'll see a type 1, or even possibly a type 2 civilization in our lifetimes?

NOP, we will not see it. Why? Because most 3rd world countries are ruled by corrupt scam.

It can be argued that most first world nations are also ruled by the corrupt. We just dont notice because at the lowest level corruption is somewhat lower than in third world nations.

With public, immutable ledgers I think corruption will dwindle in the next few decades.

What affect do you guys think the blockchain will have on corruption?

[Tides_Network]

How long do you guys think it'll be until we see a type 2 civilization? 10 generations? 100?
