While I haven't read the entire article, I have to admit that a 
stratification of types of civilizations as has been discussed before, 
as well as the recent discussion of extropic concerns regarding fractal 
jumping in terms of what to do with all of this 'stuff' around us < 
http://heybryan.org/fractal.html for a link I think > could certainly 
lead to useful insights especially regarding organization of groups in 
society (debian, SKDB (link in sig), etc.), now whether or not the 
widespread diffusion of understanding or at least a shrinkage of what's 
necessary to understand to get people nodding along with the whole 
shebang, is an odd problem that I don't know I want to mess with. It's 
a rather messy one. 

http://p2pfoundation.net/ is a good place to start as well.
