    What's funny is that Michio Kaku is perfectly describing the angst between social interaction and political interaction. Terrorism is a political tactic. Angst between governments prevent individual from socializing and interacting normally between countries. Borders, internet censorship, import taxes, Nationalism, Wars, Weapons of Mass Destruction, etc are all political tools that prevent human social cohesion between countries and even in countries. Even a large percentage of social murders are done with political motivations. ALL of the violence and strife that humanity regularly subjects itself to on mass is political and dealing with governments. Michio Kaku is questioning will we become a political-less, government-less type 1 civilization or will our governments and politics destroy us.

    I always love watching this video, I've seen it 3-4 times now. I was talking to a friend about ISIS and what they are to the rest of the world. Michio explains them so well, he hit the nail on the head with pinpoint accuracy. ISIS is afraid to see a multicultural islamic world because they will lose any foothold of power to the power of the people, not the power of the few. Once ISIS has been dealt with, and the few other tribes who seek to plague us with grotesque 'executions (murders)' we will WELL be on our way to type 1. Google has launched it's fiber network to give free internet to millions throughout multiple cities, these kinds of things are bringing us to a much more free world where we will have less poverty and starvation!

    Spoken like a true imperialist, comes back to the term Foucault coined "The black mail of the enlightenment", Kaku is the prodigy of that black mail. The funny part is that while he's labeling religious fanatics or cultural fanatics as "terrorists" because they are mono culturists all the stuff that he mentions as signs of a converge into one hegemonic ideal (so called liberal democracy) is just a modified form of mono culturalism even if he embellishes it with the word multi-culturalism, he doesn't realize that he's using the same principles that the fanatics use (mainly the Abrahamic religions) especially the concept of teleology and the inevitability of progress towards type whatever "civilization" or towards the kingdom of heaven or some other abstract idea. I pretty much doubt that he knows that he's speaking ideas straight out of Kant, since scientists regard philosophy as horseshit yet they speak its language without knowing that, but little does he and other know that this view is historical and idiosyncratic to a certain time and culture and in retrospect as Adorno and Horkheimer claimed has caused great episodes of catastrophe and domination through the use of instrumental reason (science divorced of comprehensive reason)....in short the implicit message he's conveying is that anyone who opposes our hegemonic neoliberal globalized project and whats to be on their own and autonomous we will count them as terrorists and destroy them ^__^

Is there any universal law or any imperative that says we have to develop shared beliefs (not that i'm against it) or is that merely a function of a mode of thought, going back to the enlightenment, that is hegemonic and imperialistic in its foundation and core conceptions? how do you aim for a multi-cultural world by saying people have to converge on shared beliefs and shared world views and if necessary forcefully? i'm sorry but that's statement is full of contradictions and is simply incoherent!

    Becoming a higher order society seems impossible now. Collapse and a massive die off is now already irreversible. We have already committed planetary suicide. Reversing this, if possible, will require a quantum leap forward in human relations. But as we collapse all indicators point towards increased division.

    Those jokes are made _ironically._ Those people don't care about them and we don't care about those made towards us because those jokes do lean towards some sort of truth.
    We understand each other--non-seriously as it may be--and this understanding paves the way to toleration.

      Right, cause bombing one small island would have caused that much damage. Russia's population is only spread to about 54% of its entire landmass, and even then about 3 nuclear bombs would have made them surrender if placed correctly. It's like when the US dropped the bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. If the US would have just dropped it on Tokyo it would have been done after the first bomb. I am not trying to sound cruel, I am just being serious about the matter. One nuclear explosion placed in the right city in any country would ruin it. It is all a matter of placement.

      Dave Johnston what stupid ignorant you are! Unless you are 14 years old. The USSR had as much nuclear power as the US. The reason why the US never drop a nuclear bomb in the USSR is because the retaliation would have meant total devastation for both countries without a winner. That is what it was called "cold war". It was the impossibility of fighting a "real war" due to mutual extermination as the most likely outcome. So, just to lecture you a bit on the Cuban Missile Crisis, it wasn't a matter of bombing a small island. It was a matter that no matter who would drop the first bomb, it would have ended up in mutual extermination for the US and the USSR. That's why nobody shot the first bullet.

      @bottlesdan 11 років тому +1

      There is a lack of hope in occidental society in which everyone unconsciously wishes for "the end". This is a consequence of a sort of collective low self-esteem. There is a theory in occidental anthropology: people simply are not happy being a civilization that hinders the earth and all other people on it more than it contributes. Look at these societies internally. Signs of a secret desire arises for self destruction in all media and in a majority of people, the ones who believe "the end is near" in the western world when awareness of what they do to the rest of humanity is raised (thank the internet), In societal psychology, they know that the world would be better without them. Not to worry, it'll be 5 billion years before the sun burns out. And the only thing that is remotely likely to wipe out mankind is some sort of unprecedented sickness or something else natural i.e. a meteor. So be happy we will grow old :D

    3. If we human achieve Type 2 Civilization, is human body will change in terms of strength and density. Can the human body density become to 1,000,000 kg per m3?

    Scientists are awesome, but they are so illiterate in politics!!!!! The only way for us to get ready to go from type 0 to type 1 civilization, is to make the leap from warmongers to peaceful resolution of conflict through dialogue. Imperialism will never allow us to grow as a civilization achieving the necessary peace and skills for conflict resolution and will never allow our planetary economy to develop to the needed stage as to being capable to transition to a type 1 civilization. And the reason because you never hear one of these awesome scientist talk about this stuff, is because they will loose their jobs if they dare to. Censorship is another very clear trait of imperialism, and unfortunately there is a lot of self imposed censorship in the USA, particularly in the scientific community.

      The solution is obvious implement a new RAX law, this RAX will cost income earners 10% of gross wages or profits we will use violence if necessary to acquire these funds called RAXes, it will be like TAX but not TAX its RAX unlike theft, the RAXes & TAXes are removed by force if necessary but not at all theft, in fact because I use a different word like RAX it is entirely different from the word theft or tax meaning exactly the same thing only for best intentions of course, RAXes can support people suffering from TAXes and theft the structural violence that these words represent against their victims. Like how Nelson Mendella used violence to solve an issue with violence, like sexually assaulting someone to solve an issue with rape. I know I know great Idea right, it was easy all I had to do was formulate a way to solve our issues based on what has never yet worked genius right!!!

    So much negativity regarding our future its very hard to be positive but hey.....If you think you can't, then you can't, so i remain positive, i believe science and technology can really help us (yes i'm a technocrat so fucking what?) shape a more green and sustainable society. I just think its better to embrace solutions rather then sitting there waiting for god to get pissed off....

      We won't make it to type 1. Do you know why solar powered or fuel-efficient cars aren't mass produced? The patents were bought by oil companies so that they could maintain their profit. Companies do this a lot. I'm willing to bet my life on the idea that somebody has found a cure to cancer but been snuffed out for infringing on profit. We'd be extremely technologically advanced by now if it weren't for the fact that companies are in control of the world.

      kre8noys As it stands, it seems like we're heading to a point where even if we realize it it will be too late.

      Pessimism plans for faults in society and fixes it to a point in which it won't break again. Optimism fixes it once or twice and hopes it won't fall down. Thus, pessimism is the only way to make sure a society and civilization will not fall.

    I really hate the Kardashev scale. There is far more to civilization than how much energy we use and indeed even with energy use, would not using energy efficiently be more advance than how much energy we use? Ultimately, it's what we do with that energy that determines how advanced we are not the ability to use all the energy of a planet, a star or a galaxy. Besides, it doesn't take using all of a planets energy to get to space where other sources of energy are available so it's not necessary to use all the energy that a planet has, also it doesn't take all the energy in a solar system to reach and access the energies of nearby stars so there's no need to use all the energy of a star to advance. Why build a Dyson Sphere to harvest all the energy of a star if you can get to another star with only a small fraction of the energy of even a planet. The Kardashev scale may be convenient for a theoretical physicist but it has nothing to do with civilization.
