If God wanted us to build Type 1 Civilization, he would have:
1. put a giant fusion reactor in the sky

2. made 28% of Earth's crust out of a semiconductor with a matching bandgap (~1.1 eV or so)
3. filled the oceans with an alkali
Elon Musk: “What I care about is the reality of goodness, not the perception of it. And what I see all over the place is people who care about looking good while doing evil. Fuck them.”
