OVERVIEW
Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku sees two major trends today. One eventually leads to a multicultural, scientific, tolerant society that will expand beyond Earth in the name of human progress. The other trend leads to fundamentalism, monoculturalism, and -- eventually -- civilizational ruin. Whichever of these two trends wins out will determine the fate of mankind. No pressure, everyone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MICHIO KAKU
Dr. Michio Kaku is the co-founder of string field theory, and is one of the most widely recognized scientists in the world today. He has written 4 New York Times Best Sellers, is the science correspondent for CBS This Morning and has hosted numerous science specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery/Science Channel. His radio show broadcasts to 100 radio stations every week. Dr. Kaku holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study as well as New York University (NYU).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: What is the likelihood that mankind will destroy itself?
Michio Kaku: I say looking at the next 100 years that there are two trends in the world today. The first trend is toward what we call a type one civilization, a planetary civilization, a civilization that resembles something out of "Buck Rogers" or "Flash Gordon." A type two civilization is stellar. They consume so much energy they can play with stars. That is for example the Federation of Planets in "Star Trek." "Star Trek" would represent the typical type two civilization. Then we have type three, which is galactic like the Borg or "Independence Day" or the empire of "The Empire Strikes Back." That is a type three civilization, which is truly galactic. Now by the time you reach type two, you are immortal. Nothing known to science can destroy a type two civilization. Comets, meteors, earthquakes, even a supernova a type two civilization would be able to survive even a supernova.
The danger is the transition between type zero and type one and that’s where we are today. We are a type zero civilization. We get our energy from dead plants, oil and coal. But if you get a calculator you can calculate when we will attain type one status. The answer is: in about 100 years we will become planetary. We’ll be able to harness all the energy output of the planet earth. We’ll play with the weather, earthquakes, volcanoes. Anything planetary we will play with. The danger period is now, because we still have the savagery. We still have all the passions. We have all the sectarian, fundamentalist ideas circulating around, but we also have nuclear weapons. We have chemical, biological weapons capable of wiping out life on earth.
So I see two trends in the world today. The first trend is toward a multicultural, scientific, tolerant society and everywhere I go I see aspects of that birth. For example, what is the Internet? Many people have written about the Internet. Billions and billions of words written about the Internet, but to me as a physicist the Internet is the beginning of a type one telephone system, a planetary telephone system. So we’re privileged to be alive to witness the birth of type one technology, a planetary telephone system. What is English? English is the beginning of a type one language. Everywhere I go around the Earth, people speak English because that is the lingua franca of science, technology, business. They all speak English. It is the number one second language on the planet Earth. And what is the European Union? The European Union is the beginning of a type one economy. And how come these European countries, which have slaughtered each other ever since the ice melted 10,000 years ago, how come they have banded together, put aside their differences to create the European Union? Well to compete with us and who are we? We are NAFTA, so we’re beginning to see the beginning of a type one economy as well.
Then we’re beginning to see the beginning of a type one culture. Everywhere I go you turn on the radio and what do you hear? Rock 'n' roll, you hear rap music. You hear youth music. Youth music is now planetary, knows no boundaries around the planet earth. Everywhere I go I see high fashion: Chanel, Gucci bags. We’re witnessing the birth of a planetary fashion.

Most amazing things about him is that when he start talking it's like he is just sitting in front and have a regular conversation,, so fluent, little smile, soft voice without any uh or mmm makes his words more simpler like listening a classical music..
i love michio kaku. he's so interesting to listen to
Wish I wasn't born so soon, but this sure as hell beats the Middle Ages!
already better than the 90s, we did have youtube and acxess to watch videob like this back then
Wish I was born in the 1960s everyone from then had all the good times
@@somebodythatiusedtoknow8831 literally not the case lmao, cambodian genocide, vietnam war, cold wars, china is in a communist dicatorship. Africa is either ripe with war or colonialism. Just because old people tell you that was the best times or you listen too good old music doesnt mean evryone was having a good time lmao
cooler than polar bear's toenails ok then 1970s
@@somebodythatiusedtoknow8831 still the vietnam war continues, but the usa invades cambodia, the cambodian genocide deaths is estimated 800,000-1,4million. Ethiopia engages in civil war, as well as lebanon. Portueguese has a colonial war with African colonies. Bangladesh has a genocide in early 70's. Isreal is attack by egypt and syria. I think you get the point. 70's was more violent than 60's. I get the fact that you like to think about the freedom and carelessnes there was(woodstock, rock n roll, people being closer), but honestly all things considered we live in a more peaceful age, a;thouigh there is a lot of shit still going on. I dont think being nostalgic about the 70's or 60's or even other times, is going to help you feel connected to the world
2011:
"Will humanity destroy itself? Nah, fam, what could go wrong?"
5 years later:
"Trump vs Hillary for president"
Well fuck.
Well it's only for 4 years.... Actually 4 years is pretty long 😢. At least they won't get reelection unless they actually do really well, so that's good?
Like Bush? He got re-elected but also he sure did a good job to assure that we stay type 0
What could go wrong? *Looks at the thousands of nuclear weapons that America and Russia has and looks at the fraying relationship between the two* nothing could possibly go wrong!
Death USA needs to tone down the moral outrage about the Russian military aid in Syria, especially because they're doing the same thing in Yemen.
That's our excuse for implementing anti missile defense systems on the Russian borders? That's weak
We need ppl like Kaku... Great views honest views and that too with so much research about the world we live in

Thank you Mr Kaku for your enlightenment!
It's always a pleasure listing you speak and hear your opinion on matters and how you see things.
Lot to think about again, thank you :)
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.
you view this as an us against them problem and you are most certainly wrong in that way. the only way to become a type 1 civilization is to view it as an US problem that WE solve together.
@@willyd1578 Thanks for telling me how i view things. I was completely unaware. what people mean when they say that we should view things as if we are all one is that everyone else should do what they want them to do. I never said we aren't "We". But "WE" get further by having many diverse options and perspectives. one perspective is for hive insects

Thanks sir, that was adventurous and fascinating when first time hearing about this..
I think humanity will be extremely lucky to last another 100 years.

+dank memer Nuance can accomplish more than shock and awe but that would take thought.
Do a favor to the rest of us and stop using the moniker of a deceased actor....
It's all part of the process. Embrace it.
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 ^__^
The dilemma is that if humanity is to survive, we need to 1. Agree to disagree, and 2. Develop much more shared beliefs. We need to see that we are essentially One People on One Earth.
Also, he explicitly references that we may aim for a mutli-cultural world, which is not a mono-cultural world, as you wish to claim.
Agree to disagree, how is that done? by calling the people who don't want to be part of this whole quasi mythological project and would rather be left alone"terrorists"? 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!
truesemite You totally miss the point. Type 1 society is a MULTI-cultural society TOLERANT of differences, meaning its laws and police permit you to practice and believe what you want as long as you don't start blowing people up or torturing them. NOT allowing people the free will to practice their differences by FORCE/punishing these differences which have no evidence of being harmful IS terrorism, by definition!
truesemite Um, who said anything about calling anyone who disagrees "terrorists?" Who said anything about using "force?" You're creating strawmen left and right. I'll write a more detailed reply later, when time permits, as you don't seem to understand some of the basics involved in this idea.
I love his view on radical theists:
"They don't even know what the heck I'm talking about..."
They aren’t radical theists they are terrorists anyone can be a terrorist but theism has more capability to create it

@@NatMart9394 then why are you still here on the internet? Don’t say cause the evil greedy overlords make you that’s ridiculous you can easily throw away every piece of technology you own and move somewhere more “natural”. But you won’t, because you know deep down you don’t want that “natural” life you want the life you have now with your technology.
I would *love* to sit one of Dr.Kaku's classes. His love of science comes through in his talks, and we need more people like him to ignite a love of science,technology and learning in children.
Not just in children.
Maybe the intergalactic union is waiting till a civilization reaches class 1 before it makes contact because a class 0 is still considered as too potentially dangerous ^^.
Or maybe because a class 0 doesn't taste well, and they're waiting till we become a delicious class 1.
Nom-nom-nom!
Dude we are just pseudo-sciency joking around. Relax. By the way, how dare you comparing science fiction with religion, those things are lightyears apart.
I like this idea even if you are joking around with it.. If I was a super advanced alien race and I studied humans over the last hundred or so years.. I wouldn't want to talk to us any time soon. Most of us self obsessed over indulging petty selfish creeps.
It would be the most logical to only contact species which have already proven themselves to be able to sustain their civilization. Seeing them transcend their violent nature, even when reaching "godlike" powers.
"dangerous" to themselves.
Imo, if there are civilizations that are watching us right now, they are probably millions of years ahead of us. This is almost unimaginable, but most likely true. If this is true, we are to them as insects are to us. The question is are we pests who can't save themselves or are we not pests who can't save themselves and should they intervene?
Carl Sagan bless you!
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! Preach Michio!
Once everyone has internet, everyone has knowledge, which is mostly beneficial but then again its probably good that not everyone or every nation knows how to make a nuclear bomb.

James Davis I agree I dont see a bunch of guys with AK-47s in a desert doing any lasting damage on the future think about it Kennedy is shot we establish a more effective system of replacing the president if he is killed 9/11 we raise plane security to an extreme so it dosnt matter what they do shot as many reporters as they whant they wont actually change squat they will be little more than a foot note in history 9/11 will go the same way as JFK getting shot remembered as a statistic not as a tragity ware were you 9/11 I was to young to remember
This video just made me super excited for the future. Haven't felt that way in a while.

Man I'd love humanity to become type 1 some day. But so much shit happening right now, the future really doesn't look too bright. In fact, every single realistic depiction of the future you see in movies or books for instance describes post-apocalyptic environments or shitty ass societies having to deal with overpopulation and the huge social gaps between the rich and the poor that it induces, because clearly it is the path we're on right now.
ademkin In the movies, everything is post-apocalyptic mostly because peaceful future would be boring to watch at cinema I am sure. Don't believe Hollywood future, believe in humanity and that we are good beings in essence.
***** We'll see what will happen. I still think shit's gonna go down long before we reach the status of "type 1".
***** Of course you can. Away from the Hollywood shit, a lot of authors wrote their vision of what the future would be, and a lot of them are pretty dark visions obviously. It's not hard to see really, future generations will have to deal with a LOT of stuff. Earth's ressources are not unlimited, and we're already 7+ billions, not showing signs of slowing down.
ademkin I think that has more to do with American society being extremely pessimistic. Really the world is improving in nearly every aspect.
Aaron Z I'm not american, and I think in the world of today, all societies are pessimistic.

+Andrew Orser just be happy you weren't born 200 years ago xD
Would have been better than now :/
+Andrew Orser we won't reach the stage of type 2 civilization. and 200 years ago is much more shit than now, your life expectancy would probably be around 40 (with no modern medicine now). Now is the best time to be born,as I think the human race will destroy itself within the next 200 years.
It is highly likely. But I'm hopeful. Maybe not for the majority of civilization, but I feel like some small group will survive.
And maybe i dont want to live past 40-60. Todays day in age, you go to school get a degree, get a car, get a house, all things that make you massively in debt. Then you have to spend the rest of your life going to work to pay them off. It makes me fucking crazy. Rather would have been around 200 years ago.

Humans may band together for a short while to avoid catastropy and get to a type 2 civilization but after thats done we will go right back to waring with each other worse than ever now that we would no longer be under threat of total annihilation. Which is probably for the best when you think about it. Peace allows stagnation , war nessitates advancement. Humans do better when we are under threat from an enemy that a group can rally behind, it gives motivation for survival.
I love the despise expression on his face at 4:45 when he says "theocracy".
Tolerance is actually apparent in the recent years.
You see people around you, mostly on the Internet, making jokes about African or Asian or whatever else stereotypes.
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.
When you _get_ something, it's easier to judge it.

Bingo.
I work in IT Governance. I feel that my role works towards maintain rules and transparency etc which leads to the creation of a type one civilization. My biggest issue is most people try their best to avoid governance and in turn the benefits it provides. Most people try to do their own work their own way - type 0.
Michio Kaku explains things so well, he is great to listen too.
I remember reading something that said "The odds are that the earth will end before we are able to inhabit other planets". Lets prove them wrong fellow humans. Lets ensure our survival by inhabiting at least 3 planets at a time!
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
*cough* greedy governments that *cough* want money and power! *cough*
I turn on the radio and I get Justin Bieber and I say, "Right, this is a step toward Type 1!"
5:32 Hey...that happen in my stellaris playthrough.
I am subscribing this channel because of Michio Kaku.
what a great intelligent person
You see planetary initiatives: I see crony capitalism and oligarchy.
What oligarchy?
You see crony capitalism and oligarchy, I accept that, but I also see the establishment of humanity as a galactic and immortal force no longer damned to die on this beautiful rock.
A quote I heard recently: "Given enough time, hydrogen begins to wonder where it came from and where it's going."
I want to find out more, and a interplanetary/interstellar is the only way to ensure our society grows without fear of war or catastrophe cutting short this beautiful thing we call life.
He said in the video that the economy of Europe is more advanced. He's not holding up capitalism.
*****
Crony capitalism and oligarchism exist outside of my mind and are driving forces in the world today. But, okay.
*****
What are you even trying to say? Do you deny that these forces shape the global sociopolitical landscape? Parroting my idioms tells the reader nothing beyond the fact that you're trolling.
And you are a type 1 scientist. Well explained Dr Kaku
This is so eye opening.
I think mankind is not old enough for good tolerance.
i would say it's because we love the thrill of war too much. It's in our blood to fight
***** No as in not caring at all. And if you aren't mature enough to understand the difference between controlling emotions and tolerance than you are the problem we are talking about.
We nearly did in 1962. Only Kennedy's decision not to invade Cuba saved mankind.
And Russia's decision to stop a mile from Cuba.
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 Or MAD would have happened which is far more likely than either side deciding to surrender.
Dave Johnston you are probably unfamiliar with the Mutual assured destruction doctrine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction
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.
You are legendary, Michio. You just articulated so much of what I dream of humanity becoming. :D Keep up the great stuff!
Thank you always MK!
This makes sense why there are no aliens found yet... Shit!
why would a tip 1 or tip 2 civilization make a contact with a tip 0 civilization. the answer lies with the tribes on our own planet that are still in the stone age. many contacts result in violence so we mostly leave them alone and just observe them. as those tribes are not ready for our world, so are we not ready for advanced civilizations.
You don't have an accurate grasp on how large the universe is
But I still expect KIC8462852.
W e e b You were saying?
The star , expected to have a Dyson structure. I hope we can reach that stage.
I do believe we can make it. We are currently at 0.73 type civilization.
We can does not equal we will.
I have few questions regarding type 2 ...
1. Can we achieve Type 2 Civilization without science? But through mind cultivation like what we see in Chinese movies.
2. Which one comes first, the awaken robots or Type 2 Civilization. If robots come first then the robots might destroy all human. Then Type 2 Civilization will be robots?
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?
This video is 10 years old. What is crazy about it is how much has changed in 10 years. It seems like with the populist movements in Europe, brexit and Trump we are turning our backs on our potential of becoming a type 1 civilisation
Oh God! I read some comments in this video and I realize how stupid this civilization is. I don't think we are gonna make it to Type 1.
Civilisation is built by few visioners, rest are hands to work.
Unless those days were cut short , no flesh would be saved . With GOD all things are possible. Man is still searching for answers ,man is still fumbling in the dark.
We're not. And wth this 'corona virus' even less!!
I'm glad we are not.
@@markdemell8056 id rather fumble in the dark than follow a false light
let's not end up like krypton!!!!!!!!!!!
Everything is funny ha ha
Watching it in 2022 and his projections are so true! love this man!
Can never put my view, so brief, so good
All world leaders need to watch this video every morning to have an idea of the correct direction to take us lol... maybe consider uniting. We need to haul ourselves in the right direction before we shatter all the things humans have achieved. Michio's words after 5:27 was kind of mind blowing.. makes us sound like a repeatedly failed experiment! :d We've got to try to overcome this transition..
Its 2022. Do you still believe humanity is even capable of uniting without destroying themselves?
@@JuwanBuchanan I did back then, lol. Nowadays not so sure... Life is short and unfortunately these thoughts are beyond the scope of my tiny life rn. Too hyper-fixated on making the house payments, medical bills, insurance, etc etc. Life is like that.
I was optimistic back then but it feels like the last decade has been a huge step backwards so at this point I don't think we'll see any tangible improvements in this generation or the next.
" they don't even know what the hell I'm talking about" - Michio Kaku , 4:28. :);)
I read somewhere that we're 0.72 in the Kardashev scale
Close to type 1. :)
We aren't that close or close to type 1.
Kurzgesagt has a whole video on it
I'd love to rent Michio for an entire weekend and just hear him talk.
led zeppelin are a type 3 band :)
+Doni Sykkel ROCK AND ROLL!
+ImHeadshotSniper it's been a long time
eatthisvr6 since i rock and rolled :D

Thomas Myers led zeppelin is be an are type 3 band xD
That's a good point. There's definately gotta be some great astro-paleontology to be done out there in the cosmos, one day.
Ok ok this earns a subscriber. And that is high praise from someone that doesn't subscribe often 😀
I wish I was related to this guy so I could just ask him questions all day
Maybe mars had one of those civilizations that never made it
Benjamin Smith hmm very big brain thinking
What if Mars was stripped of its atmosphere during the developmental stages of human society or even much earlier in the fossil record. I think the most likely scenario to explain human existence is found in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 where an advanced civilization left a group of pilgrims to colonize a planet with life forms similar to its own.
A Type 1 civilization sure sounds diverse. One language, one currency, one government, one bank, no religion, no borders, same exact stores everywhere, nothing local, regional, or exclusive anymore.
Alexander Layko but we all have individualality and art 😊
You do not have to eliminate cultures and societies for type I civil. In fact, just a coorparative, scientific, tolerant, international and open border(at some degree) civilization.
@@RodolphMars Isn't that what's happening right now (with the exception of a few countries like North Korea)? How's that working out?
@@AlexanderLayko yes and i am optimistic that we will be approaching towards an advance civilization.
For a civilization getting beyond monetary economy, overcome living with trade, is maybe 'THE' "civilization exam"! And to solve this exam, a civilization has to change to the alternative system to monetary economy, which is called 'Resource Based Economy' (RBE)! Please learn more about RBE. Thanks.
His last line was referring to the last humans in outer space reflecting on the Earth they left behind.
Love this video. Sad; we need to be a species that never seems to really "grow up". The concept of mutually assured destruction just sounds like two 4-year-olds threatening to taddle on each other. The end of wide spread irrational hatred would be amazing indeed.
Grab a beer and listen to this man. Love all his videos.
grab some weed man

Vincent Bechard yep watch educational videos while drunk, hmm wonder how that would go
Dear Dr. Michio:
2 Questions. 1st Fukushima & the China syndrome. What happens to the radioactive material when it hits the Earth's molten magna?
.
2nd If the Earth is warming?
Would it not be physable to cut through every land bridge that restricts the flow of the cold water thurmohaylene currents ?
I love this guy’s analogy
So, Michio spoke of EU and English. Today we see, that EU is half-dead because countries are running away and Russian language is gaining popularity... well, don't know about you guys, but I'm going to start learning Russian... xD. All hail Putin the Emperor xD.
If only he knew about Brexit.
@SAMURAI 武士 not anymore. Done deal.
Thats what i was thinking
soyboy
If he knew all about the brexit story, he wouldn't be so upbeat. Brexit is symptomatic of all that is dystopian and wrong about life on this planet, and there doesn't seem to any overriding sense of its negative and divisive ramifications. May as well put our feet up and enjoy the ride towards our final destination!
Cheek, it's guys like him that's brought us to the point of being able to destroy ourselves. He's twisted it to blame those of us that just want to live a peaceful natural life!! Please stop all theses nutty professors and their satellites. Yep we will have conventional fights like we always have and one day an asteroid will destroy us. That's Destiny as nature intended. For me a paradise lost thought, it suits me best thanks..
Who wants to live in a machine floating around in space, just so guys like him can make Loads a Money.
Very well said!
Interesting man and well spoken 👏
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.
Mind is blown
+Raedo Naw, it's almost common sense a bit. They have shown us movies and films that sum of what our futures future.
+Raedo if your mind is blown, then how did you type the comment?
+pramitbanerjee Are you kidding? Its Figure of Speech.
it was a joke when i took him literally u dumbass
Considering that things are getting much worse by the second, I would love to hear an update from Dr kaku.
That hand movement at 5:00 ...haha
The danger is forever engraved in mankind. 40,000 years in the future there is only war. There is nothing we can do to prevent. All hail the god emperor of mankind.
If you and your friends dont reproduce, we might be okay.
Frosty420Bud HERESY!!
jarvensucksballslolo Mankind will die at the hands of the Eldar >:3
Bowen Huang DEVIOUS ELDAR HEATHEN BY FIRE BE PURGED!
jarvensucksballslolo Join the glorious Tau empire for the Greater Good! All who fight for our cause are equal... *Cough* as long as they are Tau. *Cough*
As long as mankind doesn't have a common long term goal and we keep making everything about race or your people did this to mine x amount of years ago, the answer is yes.
Dr Kaku has such an articulate and approachable way to discuss these ideas
correct me if I'm wrong but if someday we will have all these type 1 things like type 1 language for all, sports, etc... isn't this some sort of "mono". like monocultural, monolingual, and so on; just a different form of it?
Remember that movie I am legend? That's gonna be earth one day something crazy is gonna happen
Woah I predicted covid.....
Why couldn't I be born when we're type 3, I would love to take a vacation in another solar system; and have a blaster/ lightsaber XD
The transition from type 0 to type 1 civilization will definitely be challenging for humanity. The shift from selfishness, theocratic beliefs to a global society, whereby cultural values change and humanity enables everyone to grow and develop. Respect for the environmental impact, health and tolerant, scientific society. We will make the shift and have too!!
