Christopher Columbus was not a great explorer. He was an incompetent, greedy and cruel individual. If you read his diaries this reality becomes clear - "They (the Arawaks) do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane... . They would make fine servants.... With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want."
"Are we ready for the coming age of abundance"you have got to be kidding me, ignore the media do your own research, this world is wearing out like an old glove, the financial system is in chaos for many western nations & the US is getting ready for tyranny with its hundreds of concentration camps, call them what u want thats exactly what they r, most have rail roads going to them exactly the same as the Nazi camps. There is nothing left to look forward to in this world friends, seek Jesus, peace
"What happens when a billion new minds come online? What do they want?" -- Watch porn and jack off? I don't have much hope for our stupid mindless self-destructive species, Sir.
Anyone here aware of what is happening to our planet? Strange noises from sky recorded all around the globe, significant rise of UFOs, disclosures of Ascension process, shift from 3rd to 5th dimensional density. I think we all should stop arguing and pay attention to these signals of changes ahead.
Mostly MEN in suits with uncomfortable shoes and shaved faces offer a presentation that looks like Greek drama in digital drag that presents the future like some 80's-nerd wet dream. Moore's Law utopias often don't take into account our caveman brains. We can feed, clothe, educate & house everyone now, but we don't. Greed, jealousy, fear, tribalism, desire for salt/suger/fat, lust, and violent aggression distract us from creating utopias in spite of our present abundance. Few new ideas here.
@justinleemiller You are correct. Also, incorrect. These things you are speaking of are a direct result of the idea that this abundance is fleeting, historically our kind bounces between times like these and stark poverty. We are just now, through technology and cultural advancments approching a time that the "End All, Lose All" mentality "may" go away. Wet dream or not, I'd like to think that w/o competition we often have no conflict. Rarely one is both right and wrong.Today it's both of us.
Oh look, another pop scientist trying to make a living. You know what? Black Africans don't care for any of this stuff. They just have Muh Dik in their mind.
Excellent presentation, really opened my mind. But the guy asking the questions really needs to stop explaining the questions and stop adding stuff to what he says. The people that view this video, and certainly the panel, are perfectly capable of understanding the question without turning it into a speech himself.
Its clear that a few of these speakers (particularly the host) are pushing an agenda. Namely discrediting a sustainable, resource based economy and promoting implanting humans with computer chips. I found it almost funny that that after it being pointed out that enough energy hits the surface of our plant to power our entire species for a year, he goes on to call the concept of enough energy for everyone 'nonsense'. My respecctt goes out to Dr. Peter Diamandis for telling it like it is.
So the morin dissgrein with kaku believes an idiot with a machine like on the movie idiocracy is the way it th eorkd should go and that less peopke need to go to college...give me a break...keep up the good work mr kaku
Free market capitalism is the most efficient system for the use of resources. Since people have more information and have incentives to improve the lives of their fellow man by improving their own lives.
If companies are constantly trying to produce more products at cheaper prices. (any capitalism) Than we'll inevitably use up scarce resources and be left with a bunch of crap. I am very hopeful for the future, capitalist or not, but it should be obvious that we didn't have as much intelectual resources available when capitalism was created. We must stop latching on to historical social systems and use our newly acquired tools and information to find answers which serve us better in today's age.
@stevenmarkgalway ...no. a labour based economy would make more sense. what resources do you have? if you have none, then you will never have legal tender
@stevenmarkgalway Totally agree - without getting rid of the monetary system, in 20 years, all we will have is a couple of thousand gazillioners that have total control over the rest of the humanity which will be forced to live in total poverty and thus slavery.
I was so relieved when Kaku defended education and science! Also, the intro monologue was excellent stuff! I'll be glad if entertainment grows because that's where I'm headed. ^^
at 43:00 michio improove my opinion abaout USA people:they are realy stupid.In the bill gates company are 60 % romania.So we can say out loud that we are making the Windows :P
I'm gonna ignore the retarded religious debates since god or no god, the man in the sky gives less than two shits about us. Also, its retarded.
I would love things to be free, but thats not gonna happen. Things will get very very cheap (hopefully) but never free. Lets all admit we hate money cause (for the majority of us) it involves working and not being able to do whatever the fuck we want for the rest of our lives.
WE ALREADY PAY FOR WATER NOW TOP DOLLOR EVEN WHEN THERES FLOODS N MORE WATER THEN WE CAN HANDLE N WE HAVE MAGNETIC POWERD ENGINES WICH PUTS SOLAR POWER TO SHAME THIS WHOLE TALK IS OLD IF ANY OF YOU HAVE HALF A BRAIN YOU WILL ALL KNOW THERE TALKING ABOUT OLD THINGS WE HAVE THE PEOPLE POWER NOW WE ALL CARE ABOUT THE WORLD NOW NOT TOMMOROW SO WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY KNOWONE CARES SOMEONE BUILD A DECENT MAGNETIC ENGINE N YOU WILL BE RICH PEOPLE WILL BUY N WHY IS WATER NOT FREE NOW EVEN DAMS YOU PAY!
Quite honestly, the guy constantly fighting with Dr. Michio Kaku doesn't get even basic economics. Why? If you have large corporations employ less people so they can make more products at lower cost, that in turn means that those people will not have any purchasing power. That means corporations are going to ration themselves into bankrupcy! Money's outdated. Let's simply stop using it, how about that?!
@ProudafinoeL I agree, but Michio also used the term "perfect capitalism" like 15 times. As if abundance and capitalism go together. Michio broke my heart.
@mikhonda Agreed. There's so many better solutions out there, the spearhead being the Ressource based economy. I wish people would stop calling it utopist, analyze it correctly and actually get to it...
@mikhonda I disagree, I don't think capitalism can be perfect, but I think it can and will have to evolve into something better.
I think what Kaku refers to as "perfect capitalism" is the ability to have access to a lot of information and being able to buy products based on that knowledge- i.e product quality. These days you can find reviews for everything- from toilet paper to your new laptop. That informs your decision, which in turn causes better quality products to be made.
@RetributionofPain I urge you to watch zeitgeist moving forward, as to fully grasp why supply and demand do not work with abundance. Water and air are abundant so there is no price tag (yet). Yet, these people are telling us that very soon we will have abundance, but no jobs at the same time (mechanization). So how can we afford all these wonderful things that the future has in store for us? Capitalism has served it's purpose, we are stuck in an infinite growth paradigm
Supply & demand is a simplistic break down. Water might fall free from the sky, but bottled water will still cost you due to treatment, bottling, etc. Unless you want to drink from a roadside puddle.
As for abundance but no jobs, again thats not true. Tech is the new job. Manufacturing sector jobs are declining, but are replaced by service sector, hi-tech jobs (programmers for example). Jobs aren't going anywhere, they just require further specialisation.
@mikhonda a very interesting video which only serves to support what I said earlier- capitalism has to evolve into something else, but that doesn't mean it happens overnight. Its a gradual change. That doesn't mean everyone is gonna be unemployed and not have any jobs and no longer be able to afford anything. We still have to produce commodities to meet demands; and that takes manpower in one form or another.
all these technology advancements are great... but do we really want businesses and corporations whos main goal is to make money, control our futures?
UNITED NATIONS AND WORLD SCIENTISTS PREPARING FOR ALIEN CONTACT SOON . IT'S GOD. THY ARE TRYING TO BLOCK OUT. BIRTH OF A NEW RACE , BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST , THE SON OF GOD. AMEN
Is this the best idea's your minds have? your 10 year programs, can you say snail's pace, how about building some thing real like frequancy cell regeneration for lasting life, since there will be less jobs then people have have shares instead of a job, or rotate people to the few jobs that are required, longer lasting life = more time to travel and do things with your familes, plus longer lasting life is required for space travel as well. WAKE UP AND START NOW
Today in 2012 with all "smart people" and "smart leaders" , who put their religions and civilization on pedestal of Humanity , nobody of them says that if we continoue like this, we will soon end our civilization in blood and anger.
We are looking in space , we are loking for aliens , but what we need to look first is our selfs , and do something to improve life of our children - we are not immortals , and we are just small part of Destiniy.
ALL the information you need to earn any degree is already online and before the internet, they were available at your local library. Simply put, NO ONE wants to 'waste' their time. We spent BILLIONS of dollars on grants and financial aid - over 50% drop out before they're even done with the first year. We are literally offering FREE college education and yet no one wants to take it - but they all want a CEO's pay as a trainee employee?
I've seen plenty of low life scum who took money from the gov't for the sake of going to school only to drop out or squander it. Of course, this depends on the school - the fact is, the ability to go to college for free has already been available to the mass public for over a decade - if not more. Hell, look at Phoenix university - grabbing the homeless off the streets and getting the gov't to pay for classes they will obviously not complete!
@actracts Government grants only cover a small fraction of an actual (non University of Phoenix or other diploma mill) university costs. Tuition, books, and living expenses all add up, and there typically aren't enough jobs available in college towns to employ all the students who might need extra money because they come from less privileged families. So students take out loans, and if they happen to graduate at the start of a recession, they're screwed.
Good watch. I don't get the religious discussion going on here. Since, the was no mention made of it in the video. Go Youtube comments. Also, there is only a God if you believe there is. Religions is based on faith. You can no more prove there is a God then the fact that there isn't. Piously looking down on people or pretentious atheism doesn't help anyone, in anyway. Let's not worry about that and about securing a future where the world doesn't tear itself apart.
@Zanthoroctu The entire point is what we like to call burden of proof: logic dictates that it is on the person claiming there is a god, not the person claiming there isn't one. The argument that you can't prove there isn't a god and therefore believing in a god is just as valid is simply erroneous, and any argument that relies on that is a failed argument.
Michio kaku is an idiot, he deflects direct question with vague feel good statements. He's the kind of guy that will say it'll snow next winter when asked will it be hot tomorrow. Universities as mcd franchises like it is in the states are doomed, Low cost online education is the future. The biggest transition were gonna see in the next few years is do it yourself economics. As peter deamandes said, people are gonna be more enabled than ever before, self trained specialization is the future.
1) America collects all the greatest minds from the world, but their foreign policy is still to invade every oil - bearing nation. So of course there is an alternative to fossil fuels readily available.
2) Global abundance and "perfect" capitalism will go hand in hand. Even though we will be jobless somehow we will be able to afford all these wonderful things that the future has in store for us. Oh that's right we will be entertainers.
mankind is just f*ckn self delusional. there is only one absolute certainty in the universe. we are all gonna die. everything else is secondary. deal with it.
I feel like Michio is the only one here accurately and intellectually considering the long term. These other people are just extrapolating based on current trends.
@InsaAhromee Apparently politicians are intelligent enough to convince you that they are stupid. Take George Bush... Iraq war: made billions of dollars for his friends, thousands of soldiers dead... And what you do? You laugh! Woo hoo! How funny and stupid he is! He makes me feel so smart!
Anyways, getting to the core context our neighbours China and Japan are extending trade and technology alliance to us primarily because they believe in future the entire economics of Eurasia will alone sustain world trade and scientific development. US will then have a lot of trouble with regards to economy. Your country needs good presidents, presidents who have the heart of Ron Paul and the mind of Herman Cain
We have a lot to grow here primarily because we are a young democratic nation which came into existence only 63 years ago. America is way older, more than 150 years. American youth need to grow up from things like sex drugs and booze and high school musical and twilight years. And let me tell you one more thing when i mean the West, i mean only US here and not european countries.
We are equally aware of things like occult and witchcraft; about things like counter intelligence insurrgency and false flag operations; about political diplomacy and foreign relations. Hell documentaries like Zeitgeist were instant favourites in India even before people in US started to recognise it. Not because of the conspiracy part of it but because of the actual facts that are stated in it. We don't have a federal bank system here precisely because we know the problems associated with it.
The reason I commented on this topic or video is because i generally think Americans need to tone down their paranoia and aggressive nature. People like Alex Jones for instance and all those Tele evangelists and reverends who come on God tv and claim of things like New World Order and 2012 Rapture and all that mumbo jumbo and yes, the dumb commercials as well as sitcoms that dominate the television. I feel it is a systematic pattern by your media to keep you all dumb and ignorant till eternity.
@asachildtobecome True, but karma and the wheel of life also refered to as samsara or sansar as we ellucidate in Hindu religion is strictly related to our spiritual plane or noosphere. And also, i do agree that the West and East need each other to sustain a channel of information and development.
m…there has to be somewhere a place where no matter where the physical body of an intelligent mind is, it may benefit everyone and in every corner of the World. The boundaries between countries are becoming thinner and there are wide gaps in distribution and equalising of goods made in Asia….who will Asia sell to unless the West survives?…The apparent chaos is just the sound of the wheezing last breaths of competition, exclusivity and elitism. Darkness cannot put out the light
It's fun to talk about but no one is controlling it. The greatest changes to come have not even been seen yet. No one saw the Internet coming, not even Al Gore and it's other creators. Only Ronald Reagan dreamed of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The most we can say intelligently about the future is it will be different from the present.
@Drtomterrific Don't forget though talking about the future may inspire new technologies. We can't necessarily say what the future will be like but we can dream and that dream just may lead to real innovations in technology. I feel these talks help lead to our future even though they can't predict it.
@Drtomterrific Science knows of certain things coming which, if we are not prepared for, may cause our extinction as a species. Some things about the future had better be very different from the past. There are specifics ; like we must get much better means of moving around the solar system or likely, be made extinct by cosmic "vermin".
But the diversity programmes in your colleges seem to be benefitting only us asians who have now learnt the art of enterprising from colleges like havard or princeton. And yes, Kaku is right now we are slowly shifting base back to our own nations because of the abundant resources and opportunities available, less stringent policies and less competition. This is of course changing things for US economy
And yes the H1B Visa or the supposed highly skilled migration programme is something that is is inevitably a part of the american intellectual structure or think tank. Even a guy like me living in India knows about it. Honestly, having studied for 6 months in U.S. had made me realise that truly the education system in the U.S. needs to change. We asians are intellectuals and americans were sharp business innovators.
The idea of Eugenics and yes, the initial symbolism of theory of relativity is something that people failed to notice here. Relative changes in science will change technologies which in turn will change buisness innovations and therefore will change the way consumerism is prevelant today. There is no radical thinking here. It's the law of change.
There's no question about the type of market that will follow thereafter, namely competition-based like oligopolistic or monopolistic or place-based like global or national. This points out to the fact, that yes we are currently too shortsighted to see that cleaner renewable sources of energy will eventually render a market for other ancillary source of power or energy to support the systems required to generate lets say solar energy, that will be based on industry innovations provide by science
@Shamitbanerjee Though your view is based on intelligent awareness of law of cause and effect, it is still grounded on the same o same o stuff. Karma to others. There are 2 ways to see the “wheel of life” One is a based on each completed cycle, the other is a circle with no beginning or end which I imagine it as the serpent’s symbol in the form of a circle with the head swallowing the tail: “ The end is in the beginning and the beginning starts at the end"
Hello All, I believe that the idea originally intended to be put across by Dr. Kaku has been misconstrued upto a certain extent. Science is the paradigm factor for any soceital or technological change. Capitalism or revenue generation models are a quintessential byproduct of any scientific revolution that takes place. Science, whether it's in the form of technology, information or service will render the supply in the market and buisness innovations will help sustain the demand in the market
It seems Michio Kaku has got it all figured out. Imagine how wrong the futurists of 100 years ago were. Hope I live long enough to see the utopia he speaks of.
Why is everything in geo-politics,( Revolutions in Greece,Egypt, Libya, Food prices soaring up, crop loss, worldwide economic trouble and collapse, etc.) things look as if they are falling apart, also worldwide events like earthquakes, and the like are happening. It is the total opposite of a hopeful and ABUNDANCE future. It is a time of War,Famine,Poisons,etc. It is as was prophesied in the books of Matthew 24:4-8 and Mark 13:5-8. Repent and u might live through the famine and WW3 Police state.
@HotBombs99 Quit your yappin. Your shitty book was written by clueless ancient morons and your imaginary friend "God" doesn't exist. If you're going to be so negative because your precious little book "predicts" it, then you're disconnecting yourself from the real world. Grow up. It's time to stop believing in your stupid fairy tale book.
@FreeFromWar Soon my friend you will be the one thats needs to grow up. Second you probably never read the in full anyway and therefore you should not make comments on things you know nothing of, soon you will see the fairy tale of you and your family starving and rioting in the streets demanding food and water and if in cooled area u will freeze to death." The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good."Ps.14:1
@HotBombs99 "God" doesn't exist. In order for me to believe anything that ridiculous book you blindly believe in says, you have to first prove there is a "God" then you have to prove that the Bible is the "word of God" then you explain why "God" doesn't mention other planets. Then you have to explain why "God" murders all those people with the flood when he could simply make them behave like he wanted just by wanting it.
It's all just an imaginary story based on NO EVIDENCE.
@FreeFromWar Funny thing how u think, first u say there is no GOD, then u say GOD kills people in floods, u can't have it both ways. Also there is so much evidence to back up the bible if u just look, science has shown bible prophecies to be accurate and accounts to be exactly as stated in the bible as they excavate ancient sites, from Sodom and Gomorrah to Noah's Ark, Chariots wheels and parts right where the Israelites crossed the sea. Watch Google Video:( Findings Confirming the Bible).
@HotBombs99 There is no Spiderman but he saves people from burning buildings. Makes sense? I was referring to the Bible fairytales. And please stop insulting science saying there is "evidence" for the stupid shit in the Bible. Sure the places may have existed but the insane claims of talking snakes and 900 year old man surviving a global flood with pair of millions species on a boat is beyond retarded and it hurts to think grown ups believe that crap...
@FreeFromWar Google search "Burckle Abyssal Crater". Its an abstract of an academic paper based on the discovery of an eighteen mile wide impact crater under two miles of water in the Indian Ocean. Make sure to scroll all the way down.
@FreeFromWar Why is "Burckle Abyssal Crater" relevant ? Because there was a "Deluge" / "Flood" even if our ancestors got the causes wrong. "The Bible" which you so disdain may actually be a kind of human written version of 'animal instinct'. I.E. "Shepherds" may be a great metaphor for the 'ecological purpose' of 'intelligent technological organisms'. Did you read the "Burckle Abyssal Crater" abstract?.
The first was an appeal to evidence.There is none.
The second an appeal to morality. You worship a being that allegedly committed mass genocide on an unimaginable scale.
"science has shown bible prophecies to be accurate"
Like Jesus' prophecy that the end of days would be around the year 60 CE?
There is zero evidence for creation. Zero evidence for a global flood. Noah's Ark is utterly impossible. If you care about the truth at all, think about it.
@L00NGB00W U speak of what u know not of my friend, Jesus says "...of that day and that hour knows no man, no, not the angles which are in heaven, neither the Son(Jesus), but the Father."Mark13:32 "But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."Matthew 24:36. So Read the whole bible first and research first before u come to a conclusion on a matter. Perilous times are coming ,Repent and worship the Creator of Heaven and Earth and he will save you.
@HotBombs99 You are a wilfull retard. L00ngb00w was 100% right in everything he said. Even a dipshit knows noah's ark is impossible, and can figure out that genocide is wrong, on top of all the other things God is a cunt for.
@TheLordSod "But these speak evil of those things which they know not:but what they know naturally, as brute beasts(Meaning U) in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them.. judgment upon all, and to convict all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed and of all their harsh speech which ungodly sinners have spoken against him(Mean GOD)"Jude10-15. Soon u and all the ungodly will be judged and who will save u? Just keep watching my friend.
"Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door.I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened."
People have said 'this is the end' since the beginning. I have nothing to repent for and believe in no creator.
@L00NGB00W "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches;comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God:for they are foolishness unto him:neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."(1Cor.2:13,14)"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? cont.
@HotBombs99 cont.> for since the fathers fall asleep(died), all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of(forget), that by the word of God the heavens were of old,..Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water perished.

@juuonse Don't what to retype to same question, read my reply to @L00GB00W, there is 3 posting for this reply. Please read, it is about 1/4 down page when u go to ALL REPLY, it is 3 postings, u will see (cont.>, read from top to bottom). It is not my reply, but GOD's reply to all of u, he predict people like all of u. The only book to do so, he predict Kingdoms and their dates and names no other religious book claims to do that. Read all my replies to @L00GB00W first before writing back.
@HotBombs99 ok ok, you're right, the world is ending, god's gonna judge us all, the unfaithful, hookers and cocaine sniffers are all on their way to hell. The Bible is right, everyone else is wrong, go to church, life is sacred, we should all kneel before the light of jesu- wait somewhere along here I realised I don't give a fuck.
Keep your religion to yourself please, No one asked you to save me, my neighbour, or his pet hamster with your enlightened mind.
@HotBombs99 If free will sends me to hell, then heaven is gonna be one hell of a boring place to be.
Anyways, go on doing your prophecies on youtube, clearly the bible also predicted the 500 character comment box to be the medium of choice to educate the lost sheep.
@RetributionofPain I do not comment to educate, i comment to warn those that have eyes to see and ears to hear. "So you, O son of man, I have set you a watchman...therefore you shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, you shalt surely die;if you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand."(Ez.33:7,8) So that is way i write and warn all of judgement.
the human race will come to a point where it realizes that further significant achievements for innovation in technology will require a paradigm shift and a doing away with the profit system....the implications of the discovery of certain technological capabilities will guide the human race in this direction....the more abundance there is the less of a need for placing a value on things
I'm really starting to have a big respect for Dr. Michio Kaku... love his arguments which are dead on.... My first encounter with him was on the Discovery Channel were he was designing some king of Death Star and really hated myself for watching it and got a wrong impression of Dr. Michio Kaku for that episode.. I have now seen a lot of video with him and I'm really think he's incredible and hope he continues to make more videos (just not about the Death Star)
what the f is g. byrne talking about "as the smart phone revolution showed us...they took the risk and...". who took the risk? What risk? Anybody know wtf he's talking about?
@gpl211212 Hmm, to speculate maybe he means nobody liking the smartphones and not buying them. I don't have one, because I think the plans are too expensive
Apparently these people know NOTHING about mining or energy resources. Just disgusting people create these ludicrous pipe dreams without understanding anything about the fundamental reality.
@fuzzywzhe If you mean the energy revolution from non-renewable to renewable energy is not a dream. That stuff doesn't happen overnight, but we are moving from oil & gas to cleaner renewable sources
@RetributionofPain It's not just about energy production. It's resource production. You can't just pick up the ingredients for a solar panel out of the air after all. You have to mine.
In the early 1900s you copper mines were so rich you could get nuggets the size of a car engine. Today, you have 2% grades of ore that you have to heat up, melt down and refine. That takes a lot of energy. It's not just oil.
I'm telling you Kaku doesn't know what the F he's talking about.
@bogieman987 I suppose with unlimited energy (fusion) we could get almost anything we wanted out of the Earth no matter how inaccessible, but I think it's quite a gamble to place your bets on.
We should have spent the last 30 years preparing for the future, instead we spent it blowing up bubbles in the economy with easy credit and manipulated commodity prices. The hangover from that is going to be horrible.
Money doesn't get stuff out of the ground, energy does.
@fuzzywzhe Lets hope expirements like ITER get a working fusion reactor soon lol And lets hope the greed from selling such a resource of energy (good insentive to get it working ASAP) doesn't affect us like booms in things have done in the past, one of which we are still recovering from.
@bogieman987 "Lets hope expirements like ITER get a working fusion reactor soon lol And lets hope the greed from selling such a resource of energy"
With unlimited energy we would end up paving every square inch of the planet and driving anything we don't need to improve our lives into complete extinction.
If that's not greed, I don't know what is. Everything around you is made out of oil. Your keyboard, your rug, your paint, and what did we do w

It is not material things, is not the technology, is not a strong economy that will makes us happy.
We have to go back to what has real value.
Friends, family, good health, harmony, self respect, respect for the others and respect for the planet.
We had been brainwashed and our search has been totally based on nonsense.
Let's stop this madness and go back to what really matters.
Greed, selfishness, hate, discrimination and violence should be things of the past.
That's the only way.

Mostly MEN in suits with uncomfortable shoes and shaved faces offer a presentation that looks like Greek drama in digital drag that presents the future like some 80's-nerd wet dream. Moore's Law utopias often don't take into account our caveman brains. We can feed, clothe, educate & house everyone now, but we don't. Greed, jealousy, fear, tribalism, desire for salt/suger/fat, lust, and violent aggression distract us from creating utopias in spite of our present abundance. Few new ideas here.
justinleemiller 2 days ago 11
@justinleemiller You are correct. Also, incorrect. These things you are speaking of are a direct result of the idea that this abundance is fleeting, historically our kind bounces between times like these and stark poverty. We are just now, through technology and cultural advancments approching a time that the "End All, Lose All" mentality "may" go away. Wet dream or not, I'd like to think that w/o competition we often have no conflict. Rarely one is both right and wrong.Today it's both of us.

Its clear that a few of these speakers (particularly the host) are pushing an agenda. Namely discrediting a sustainable, resource based economy and promoting implanting humans with computer chips. I found it almost funny that that after it being pointed out that enough energy hits the surface of our plant to power our entire species for a year, he goes on to call the concept of enough energy for everyone 'nonsense'. My respecctt goes out to Dr. Peter Diamandis for telling it like it is.

If companies are constantly trying to produce more products at cheaper prices. (any capitalism) Than we'll inevitably use up scarce resources and be left with a bunch of crap. I am very hopeful for the future, capitalist or not, but it should be obvious that we didn't have as much intelectual resources available when capitalism was created. We must stop latching on to historical social systems and use our newly acquired tools and information to find answers which serve us better in today's age.

Quite honestly, the guy constantly fighting with Dr. Michio Kaku doesn't get even basic economics. Why? If you have large corporations employ less people so they can make more products at lower cost, that in turn means that those people will not have any purchasing power. That means corporations are going to ration themselves into bankrupcy! Money's outdated. Let's simply stop using it, how about that?!

@mikhonda I disagree, I don't think capitalism can be perfect, but I think it can and will have to evolve into something better.
I think what Kaku refers to as "perfect capitalism" is the ability to have access to a lot of information and being able to buy products based on that knowledge- i.e product quality. These days you can find reviews for everything- from toilet paper to your new laptop. That informs your decision, which in turn causes better quality products to be made.

@RetributionofPain I urge you to watch zeitgeist moving forward, as to fully grasp why supply and demand do not work with abundance. Water and air are abundant so there is no price tag (yet). Yet, these people are telling us that very soon we will have abundance, but no jobs at the same time (mechanization). So how can we afford all these wonderful things that the future has in store for us? Capitalism has served it's purpose, we are stuck in an infinite growth paradigm
mikhonda 6 days ago
@mikhonda abundance =/= infinite.
Supply & demand is a simplistic break down. Water might fall free from the sky, but bottled water will still cost you due to treatment, bottling, etc. Unless you want to drink from a roadside puddle.
As for abundance but no jobs, again thats not true. Tech is the new job. Manufacturing sector jobs are declining, but are replaced by service sector, hi-tech jobs (programmers for example). Jobs aren't going anywhere, they just require further specialisation.

@mikhonda a very interesting video which only serves to support what I said earlier- capitalism has to evolve into something else, but that doesn't mean it happens overnight. Its a gradual change. That doesn't mean everyone is gonna be unemployed and not have any jobs and no longer be able to afford anything. We still have to produce commodities to meet demands; and that takes manpower in one form or another.

denarkyshio 1 week ago 3
ALL the information you need to earn any degree is already online and before the internet, they were available at your local library. Simply put, NO ONE wants to 'waste' their time. We spent BILLIONS of dollars on grants and financial aid - over 50% drop out before they're even done with the first year. We are literally offering FREE college education and yet no one wants to take it - but they all want a CEO's pay as a trainee employee?

You really need to revise your claim there, that college education (which costs many thousands of anybody's money) is free.
TheLordSod 1 week ago
I've seen plenty of low life scum who took money from the gov't for the sake of going to school only to drop out or squander it. Of course, this depends on the school - the fact is, the ability to go to college for free has already been available to the mass public for over a decade - if not more. Hell, look at Phoenix university - grabbing the homeless off the streets and getting the gov't to pay for classes they will obviously not complete!
actracts 1 week ago
@actracts Government grants only cover a small fraction of an actual (non University of Phoenix or other diploma mill) university costs. Tuition, books, and living expenses all add up, and there typically aren't enough jobs available in college towns to employ all the students who might need extra money because they come from less privileged families. So students take out loans, and if they happen to graduate at the start of a recession, they're screwed.

Hello All, I believe that the idea originally intended to be put across by Dr. Kaku has been misconstrued upto a certain extent. Science is the paradigm factor for any soceital or technological change. Capitalism or revenue generation models are a quintessential byproduct of any scientific revolution that takes place. Science, whether it's in the form of technology, information or service will render the supply in the market and buisness innovations will help sustain the demand in the market

@TheLordSod "But these speak evil of those things which they know not:but what they know naturally, as brute beasts(Meaning U) in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them.. judgment upon all, and to convict all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed and of all their harsh speech which ungodly sinners have spoken against him(Mean GOD)"Jude10-15. Soon u and all the ungodly will be judged and who will save u? Just keep watching my friend.

@HotBombs"Read the whole bible first and research first before u come to a conclusion on a matter. "
Well said. I have read the bible in it's entirety.
I was referring to Mark 13:29~30
"Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door.I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened."
People have said 'this is the end' since the beginning. I have nothing to repent for and believe in no creator.

@HotBombs99 cont.> for since the fathers fall asleep(died), all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of(forget), that by the word of God the heavens were of old,..Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water perished.

@L00NGB00W cont.> one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.(2 Peter 3:3-9) Repent from your blasphemes of GOD and his Son Jesus Christ and he will save u in the time famine and war that is coming soon to the whole world.

@HotBombs99 Even if every single day since the beginning of 'Creation' was 1000 years, that's still only 1/6th of the observed age of the universe.
I don't know how to tell you this other than,
It's a myth.

@HotBombs99 ok ok, you're right, the world is ending, god's gonna judge us all, the unfaithful, hookers and cocaine sniffers are all on their way to hell. The Bible is right, everyone else is wrong, go to church, life is sacred, we should all kneel before the light of jesu- wait somewhere along here I realised I don't give a fuck.
Keep your religion to yourself please, No one asked you to save me, my neighbour, or his pet hamster with your enlightened mind.

@RetributionofPain Good exactly my point, "DO WHAT THOU WILT SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW". Right. But that is Satan's law of course.
Soon, WW3, famine, pestilence, and then weeping and gnashing of teeth and then you will curse God.

@HotBombs99 If free will sends me to hell, then heaven is gonna be one hell of a boring place to be.
Anyways, go on doing your prophecies on youtube, clearly the bible also predicted the 500 character comment box to be the medium of choice to educate the lost sheep.
To everyone else, see you in hell.
RetributionofPain 2 days ago
@RetributionofPain I do not comment to educate, i comment to warn those that have eyes to see and ears to hear. "So you, O son of man, I have set you a watchman...therefore you shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, you shalt surely die;if you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand."(Ez.33:7,8) So that is way i write and warn all of judgement.

the human race will come to a point where it realizes that further significant achievements for innovation in technology will require a paradigm shift and a doing away with the profit system....the implications of the discovery of certain technological capabilities will guide the human race in this direction....the more abundance there is the less of a need for placing a value on things

I'm really starting to have a big respect for Dr. Michio Kaku... love his arguments which are dead on.... My first encounter with him was on the Discovery Channel were he was designing some king of Death Star and really hated myself for watching it and got a wrong impression of Dr. Michio Kaku for that episode.. I have now seen a lot of video with him and I'm really think he's incredible and hope he continues to make more videos (just not about the Death Star)

Age of Abundance?
Apparently these people know NOTHING about mining or energy resources. Just disgusting people create these ludicrous pipe dreams without understanding anything about the fundamental reality.
fuzzywzhe 2 weeks ago
@fuzzywzhe If you mean the energy revolution from non-renewable to renewable energy is not a dream. That stuff doesn't happen overnight, but we are moving from oil & gas to cleaner renewable sources
RetributionofPain 2 weeks ago
@RetributionofPain It's not just about energy production. It's resource production. You can't just pick up the ingredients for a solar panel out of the air after all. You have to mine.
In the early 1900s you copper mines were so rich you could get nuggets the size of a car engine. Today, you have 2% grades of ore that you have to heat up, melt down and refine. That takes a lot of energy. It's not just oil.
I'm telling you Kaku doesn't know what the F he's talking about.

@fuzzywzhe Fusion power will solve much of this wouldn't it?
bogieman987 2 weeks ago
@bogieman987 I suppose with unlimited energy (fusion) we could get almost anything we wanted out of the Earth no matter how inaccessible, but I think it's quite a gamble to place your bets on.
We should have spent the last 30 years preparing for the future, instead we spent it blowing up bubbles in the economy with easy credit and manipulated commodity prices. The hangover from that is going to be horrible.
Money doesn't get stuff out of the ground, energy does.
fuzzywzhe 2 weeks ago
@fuzzywzhe Lets hope expirements like ITER get a working fusion reactor soon lol And lets hope the greed from selling such a resource of energy (good insentive to get it working ASAP) doesn't affect us like booms in things have done in the past, one of which we are still recovering from.

@bogieman987 "Lets hope expirements like ITER get a working fusion reactor soon lol And lets hope the greed from selling such a resource of energy"
With unlimited energy we would end up paving every square inch of the planet and driving anything we don't need to improve our lives into complete extinction.
If that's not greed, I don't know what is. Everything around you is made out of oil. Your keyboard, your rug, your paint, and what did we do w
