What If Humanity Became Type 7 Civilization?

Imagine a world where you are not even human.

You can effortlessly create universes and control time. This could become a reality in an incredibly advanced civilization. We have discussed the possibilities of humanity reaching type 1 through type five civilizations, but what if we go even further? What if we become a type 6 or 7 civilization? What would life be like then? Is a type 7 civilization even possible? What would humans look like? And why might something like this be a terribly bad idea?

This is "What If," and here's what would happen if humanity became a type seven civilization. Before we delve into that, let's quickly recap the types of civilizations we have covered so far. I'll make it quick. Type one civilization...Humanity gains control of Earth and is able to access all the power on the planet. This marks the achievement of a type two civilization, where we harness the power of the Sun and begin populating other planets like Mars and Venus. As we progress further, we reach a type three civilization, where humanity controls the entire galaxy, commanding the power of black holes, multiple stars, and all other celestial bodies. These civilizations were conceived by Nikolai Kardashev, who created the Kardashev scale.

The scale is a hypothetical framework used to measure a civilization's ability to harness technological power. Initially, Kardashev developed civilizations 1 to 3 himself, but the list has since expanded in a more speculative manner to include types 4 through 7. Now, let's fast forward to a type four civilization, where humanity gains the ability to populate and control the entire universe. Moving even further, we reach a type five civilization, where humanity controls multiple universes, becoming a multiversal civilization. However, what happens next is beyond the expanded CEV and purely speculative. These next civilizations are so advanced that scientists claim they are hard to comprehend. Now, let's delve into the problems we'll be dealing with.

Your journey to a Type 7 civilization, climate change could seriously affect the Earth, especially if we don't take action. But don't worry, there's hope. Did you know that renewable energy is becoming cheaper every year? Countries are investing more resources into it than ever before. The Environmental Group, American Climate Corps, has announced a new program to train 20,000 people in clean energy and climate resilience. This is just the beginning and should help us progress further into a future with renewable energy. Let's continue the momentum.

Remember, you can push your leaders and neighbors for change and make a huge impact on the environment. Now, let's move on to our next civilization, Type 6 civilization. A Type 6 civilization will see significant upgrades. Who knows what you could be? You could be an alien, a godlike giant, or take a more efficient route and become a ball of energy that can effortlessly move across universes. If you think a Type 6 civilization sounds crazy, just wait until you see what's next: Type 7 civilization. As we progress through these civilizations, things are only becoming more absurd, strange, and perplexing. We have now reached the point where this civilization is almost beyond human.

With advanced comprehension, we could create, alter, and destroy entire universes, ultimately gaining control over everything. One of the key differences between a type six and seven civilization would be our ability to control the Omniverse. While entirely speculative, the Omniverse is even larger than the Multiverse, containing an infinite number of universes, both real and fictional, and showcasing every conceivable timeline and reality beyond our current understanding. At this point, humans - or whatever we may be called - would transcend any form of physical or metaphysical reality, existing in unimaginable forms beyond our current knowledge. We would no longer worry about death or suffering, instead existing in a state of constant bliss, enlightenment, and euphoria.

We could exist simultaneously in multiple realities and timelines, able to see everything in the past, present, and future. With all this incredible power, it begs the question: would humanity even want to reach this point? Would we still be considered human? Society has progressed so far that we no longer experience the things that define us, such as spending time with loved ones and pursuing our passions.

If we have already conquered the Earth, the universe, and now the Omniverse, what would be left for us to do? Without adversity or challenges, two essential aspects of human life, where does humanity progress? As exciting as these things sound, would it be worth it? Maybe we should go back and experience what life would be like if humanity turned into a type one civilization. That might be more manageable and realistic. It also sounds like a story for another time. What if instead of controlling parts of multiple universes, we could control everything? We could instantly create or destroy any universe of our choosing. Not only that, but time would become a new toy for us to play with.

We could manipulate it any way we want. We could create multiple timelines, maybe one where I'm the president or have blonde hair, or maybe one where I'm super jacked. With all these multiverses, the possibilities are endless.

Humanity would not be the sole civilization at this point. There is a high probability that we have discovered or even created multiple civilizations of other new species across various universes. These civilizations can range from type zero to type 5, with us being at the top of the food chain. We would either rule over these civilizations or perceive them as cultures inferior to ours. Alternatively, we might simply observe them in a similar manner to how we observe ant colonies or zoo animals. If we were to exist in a type 6 civilization, our appearance would definitely be different from what it is now.

However, I can show you some examples if you are interested. In a type 6 civilization, we would possess the ability to control reality and matter. Therefore, we could choose to maintain our current appearance or resemble someone like the rock. Additionally, there is a possibility that we would no longer be biological beings as we have progressed through these civilizations. Technology and AI have continuously advanced, and it is likely that we have integrated with artificial intelligence, becoming robot humans.
