Big Chill Imperative

A Type I civilization, also called a planetary civilization
Can use and store all of the energy available on its planet

Vastness beckons, enticing us
Eternal sunshine, minerals to mine
Friends above, we ascend with love

A Type II civilization, also called a stellar civilization
Can use and control energy at the scale of its planetary system

Vastness swallows, engulfing us
Cosmic moths, never fathomed
Torn apart, our nation and our atoms

Kurzweil
Tyson
Inspire Man

Kardashev
Asimov
Enlighten us

A Type III civilization, also called a galactic civilization
Can control energy at the scale of its entire host galaxy

Vastness remains, mocking us
Dust is dust is dust is dust
Dust is dust is dust is dust is dust

Curie
Musk
Deliver us

Sagan
Faraday
Lead the way

Hawking
Feynman
Give guidance

Roddenberry
Kaku
Visionary
