There's something mildly amusing about a citizen of a Type 0 Civilization trying to speculate on the technological advancement of Type I, II, or III Civilizations.

However, the article touches on something near the end that I've often speculated about: What happens when a species reaches a level of advancement where they're able to manipulate virtually the entire universe?

If Clarke was correct that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic," then the logical corrollary is that "any sufficiently evolved intelligence is indistinguishable from God." The author just does a good job of dancing around the issue.

Discuss.

Through history, we've found, as a species, the more questions we find answers for, the more unanswered questions we find based on the answer to the original question.

I don't think we will ever move beyond that paradigm.

It's worse than that...
I was 25 before I stopped pronouncing "paradigm" phonetically.
