Wait as sec, why are we assuming that this "progress" is ALWAYS good. This globalization sure will bring good things, but we are loosing in the way so many values and knowledge of life, many of them we acquired through many generations . Thats why i like to preserve cultures, so that our grandchildren can inherit this treasure and not a mono-minded civilization. I invite all of you to study other cultures thoroughly to understand this point.

This guy is qualified to say anything about knowledge (maybe except literature and the arts, maybe). All he does is learn, study and postulate. You think he cares about women? All he cares about is discovery. Plus he happens to be a super genius, anything he says is worth taking a harken to.

It is so blatantly obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about.Think about this for a moment: he's a theoretical physicist. Now, pay attention, and think about how much of what he claims falls outside his area of expertise and in fact has zero relevance to his field of study.

Are you kidding me? He's commenting on the natural progression of civilization, and then extending those ideas into half-baked theories of the future evolution of society. The best part: his only area of expertise is mathematical physics. Does that mean anything to you? Did you ever stop and think, "Hey, he's making social commentary on the EU as an international political entity even though he's only A PHYSICIST."

he is making assertions in fields of study in which he apparently knows nothing just like when scientists put laws on something yet to be fully understood that's science for you duh di you not know that everything was made from the unseen in other cases from nothing.

What it comes down to ultimatly is profit. Who will prevail the ones who are profitting from things staying the same or those who see a bigger picture and can minuver above or around those who profit from things staying the same. Moving to type 1 would threaten the livelyhood of those at the top who don't think anything is wrong with how things are. Think about it. traval could be way more advanced then it is but to many people in power are keeping things the same. So.... Who will win ultamatly.

Are you kidding me? This is Kaku, he knows everything. Put it this way, he knows everything worth knowing.
