It is very likely that some areas will fall behind, and small-scale wars will break out within the galaxy, and even large-scale wars between different star regions may erupt, and many people will certainly die.
But that's not a big issue, because as long as there are no external enemies, once humans step out of the Solar System, they will never be completely extinct, and the civilization as a whole will naturally eliminate the backward parts like cutting off tumors, and what's left will definitely become the essence and bring a new round of rapid progress.
In the turbulent era, spiritual civilization will inevitably catch up quickly until it makes up for the gap, or brings about fundamental changes in the social system.
Then, civilization will enter the next phase of rapid growth in material civilization and leave spiritual civilization behind again.
So it goes, in cycles and repetitions.
Twomeaterial and spiritual aspects of civilization can never reach a perfect balance.
