What is a Type One Planet? 

In 1964, a man named Nicolai Kardashev created the Kardashev Scale, a model of civilizations in which we could extrapolate on what a successful civilization could look like in the future.

A Type One Civilization is the first stage, in which the dominant species has become a cohesive planetary population that can harness and control 100% of the energy available on that planet. While there are many adaptations on this model, we propose an adaptation that goes beyond the old Soviet focus on energy and power.

Consider instead a Type One Planet. A Type One Planet is a cohesive planetary ecosystem in which the dominant species can harness the energy needed for their civilization, along with the democratization of 100% of the knowledge that is available on the planet. It is a planetary civilization that is in equilibrium with themselves as a population and with the surrounding environment. They're able to sustainably utilize all of the available resources while maximizing the psychological capabilities of its population.

This is a long term, sustainable state in which we can communicate and coexist effectively and peacefully on a planetary scale. A Type One Planet represents absolute democratization of knowledge, energy distribution, life sustaining technology and resources, and environmental balance.

The purpose of this project is to help lay the foundational elements of becoming a Type One Planet.

The Type One Planet podcast is our first step in this process. It features interviews, round tables, debates, and collaborative sessions to ideate on concepts that will enable us to lay the foundation for becoming a Type One Planet. Each guest is a mission driven visionary, including inventors, scientists, and early entrepreneurs. Each interview is a deep exploration on the innovation, technology, or line of scientific study that the guest is pursuing. By the end of each episode, every listener should be able to articulate an explanation of what the guest does, how their innovation works and explore how their work can contribute to the development of a Type One Planet. As we host more guests with similar missions, but unique approaches, we will bring them together in round table collaborative discussions to come up with new ideas and concepts that build towards our common, foundational mission.
