Tuesday, TLTR

By definition, an advanced civilisation must grow faster than the frequency of life-threatening catastrophes. Since large meteor and comet impacts take place once every few thousand to million years, a Type I civilisation must master space travel to deflect space debris within that time, which should not be much of a problem. Ice ages may take place on a time scale of tens of thousands of years, and so a Type I civilisation must learn to modify the weather within that period.

Da' e haios oricum.
