It's humbling to realise that the developmental gulf between a miniscule ant colony and our modern human civilisation is only a tiny fraction of the distance between a type 0 and a type iii civilisation - a factor of 100 billion billion, in fact. yet we have such a highly regarded view of ourselves, we believe a type iii civilisation would find us irresistible and would rush to make contact with us. the truth is, however, they may be as interested in communicating with humans as we are keen to communicate with ants.
