I mean, this is a necessary step for any civilization because becoming a type 3 means that humanity will progress for a very long time. (Even after the sun has died because we'd already have the entire galaxy on our hands so there's plenty of solar systems we can live in, also we would have dyson spheres and other advanced tech, which would aid in galaxy colonization.) But the thing is, the government is too focused on short term problems (per se, politics) to the point where they "don't have time" for long term decisions like, well, prolonging the life of humanity in general, even until the last habitable solar system's star, dies. And am I the only one who worries that because of humanity getting to distracted in politics, the discovery of nuclear weapons and the fact that we may destroy the Earth in ww3 because of these nukes, humanity may die as a type 0 and we (humans) might die out earlier than normal? (on a civilization scale)
