  • This man is why i felt good about dropping out. My education and skills training will come 100% from the internet and the library. If you had the proper mindset, you could easily master 3 foreign languages within a year, and yet why does it take you 4 years to master one language with a BA? Also, consider reading Dumbing us Down by Ghetto.

  • @SlapstickCoyote I could copy and paste your every word because I feel the same way. I dropped out and for the last few years learning has actually been enjoyable.

  • Michio nailed it. he should run for the office to be the right hand for Ron Paul. Can yoy imagined Ron Paul fired the Washington, and Michio made rebirth of science and complex manufacturing.

  • Most of the Hospitals where falling behind the approval rates from medical boards until they started to sponsor H-1b type visas...he is right on the money.

  • The title is perfect, where is the full video?

  • The United States stopped caring about their educational systems after the Cold War.

  • Sociology bullshit. Typical

  • This make me :(

    Sin, Master Chief

  • that white guy he must be from america

  • I'm a foreign student i get bored going to school with dumb asses, I am going back to my country ass soon as I graduate from college.

  • @mehmetursan You should leave sooner no one wanted you here anyway.

  • @mehmetursan lol have fun getting suicide bombed in your third world country

  • Corp America are afraid of investigation. Engineers from foreign countries are implicitly black mailed to keep their mouths shut about the local effort and resource exploitation.

  • @GOD

    you need to listen to @organizedatheism and @MXZ90

  • Get god out of schools and politics, and give scientists bigger budgets.

    That's the future.

  • @HarrysSecret

    god has nothing to do with this most scientists are actually very spiritual

  • lol true... my 12th standard math exam in india is tougher than math in GRE entrance exam(for studying ms in us) 

  • @rreku2 Math skills and operation are very different from the researches of visualization of quantitative tests, safety tests, and intrusive error tests. Future of science, economy, infrastructure and banking desperately need those fundamentals beyond just repetitive skills and operation. Internet communication, instead of cut&paste academic school system, perhaps is our real hope.

  • remember that founding american immigrants from Europe where uneducated misfits and outcasts that wanted to get away from monarchy and social inequality, but both the outcast's and the elite came over but the majority remained working class. not educate elite class. when the economy grew, there where no brains to run it.

  • The white guy completely embarassed himself while simultaneously embarassing himself

  • The problem with our education system is that it's government run. You have the Department of Education telling these schools what to teach, and when they don't conform, they lose funds and people get fired. The schools are given a fixed amount of funds, all while the Federal Reserve devalues the currency, robbing the schools fixed budget of its purchasing power, forcing them to make cuts in everything. The solution is to abolish The Federal Reserve and the Department of Education.

  • Haha. Nice.

  • i agree with michio, americans see math and science as looser careers, nerdy, dorky. thats why america imports alot of people from other countries to work for them

  • @juki0h actually, I don't think Americans see math and sciences as nerdy careers. I think they actually view people who get those degrees with a sort of awe. Americans generally think those degrees are too hard, not that they are too nerdy or dorky

  • @superdog797 in some sense you are right, im studying to become and engineer, and everyone is like WHOA! lol, its actually kind of funny.

  • Michael Schrage got his ass handed to him.

  • If we paid Scientists like players of Basketball, Baseball and Football, surely by now we would have cured aids, drive electric flying cars and completion of the world's first spaceport on Mars would be old news.

    Instead we have war, pollution, incurable plagues and $100 million dollar pro sports contracts as our species main priority.

    The devolution of America has begun, taking us back to the stone age where the trivial pursuit of fame & fortune is encouraged over truth, knowledge & education.

  • @organizedatheism Whoever discovers the cure for cancer will become filthy rich. That alone is incentive enough for someone to try and find a cure. Throwing money at these scientists for having yet achieved anything won't bring us a cure any faster and will in fact serve as a disincentive to finding a cure. Professional athletes get paid a lot more because there is a much higher demand for them to play than there is for cancer researches to find a cure. Throwing money at problems seldom works.

  • H1b is important ...US needs to bring ppl in h1b visa to run the industry bcoz us cannot produce enough engineers ,not just bcoz of educational system but it college degrees are very EXPENSIVE that one cannot complete the education and needs to withraw before completing ..or some even needs to go work before going to school...even if you complete ur wont get job because u need experience and thats very demotivating...Another thing is gettng to choose mathematics as optional make us weak in tech

  • @WJValente All of your questions are echoed by Karl Marx. You might want to reconsider communism and scientific socialism.

  • Comment removed

  • @WJValente Marx answers the question of why you have to work for a living, though. Looking at the way technology has shaped economic relations throughout history, instead of suffering anger through ignorance, is a better way to improve this world.

  • But which part of our school system is bad? I know it's bad, but which part is Dr. Kaku talking about?

  • @htiberian It's the kids. You can't teach dirt.

  • @htiberian everything.The Department of education is a wasteful government entity.

  • I'll run for president, he can be my science advisor.

  • Comment removed

  • yet again white guy gets pwned

  • Michio Kaku, the genius who speaks the truth. Seriously, this is the truth. Go to a third world country and ask them some simple knowledge questions and ask Americans and you'll find out that the third world country's simple people know more then the Americans. It's THAT BAD.

  • Comment removed

  • Michio Kaku for president?

  • @MXZ90 Period.

  • This way they get to keep dummies for their political votes and keep the scientific establishment.

  • Dude is pretty smart.

  • dude humanity is at a halt because we have forgotten how to be genuinely imaginitive.you can be smart all day long but if you cant put things together from imagination because you are scared you may as well have become a burnout. check out my videos if you agree

  • @bentgenius1 i totally agree with! you can be smart as hell, but with no imagination, you will go nowhere! i actually thought of that idea myself, didnt hear it from someone else, glad to see someone else with a brain, lol

  • BRAVO DR. PROFESSOR KAKU !! BRAVO !! I AM HONNORED TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO YOU,SIR. NICE HELLO FROM EUROPE

  • IS THAT MAN WHO IS LAUGHING SO STUPIDLY, DRUNK ?!?

  • the irony is!!!!!!!! the irony is america people are dumb ass

  • To Michael Nobody (2):

    We have no idea how on earth someone like you would be invited, all we know is the very event would be smooth and clean without you the smart alec - of course we know you'd certainly disagree to this too.

    It's faces like yours and O'Reilly's that earn americans it's bad name.

  • To Michael Nobody: Go back to school, learn to sit properly and at least refrain from swaying your dangling leg in front of a decent audience. Quit talking smart and never ever again interrupt speakers like Prof. Michio Kaku who's in every sense 100 times learned and smarter than you are.

  • i completely agree when my uncle immigrated in Grade 1 he knew addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division while every one else in his class was just learning how to add

  • So he is saying every american scientist is stupid? Kind of insulting....

  • every country should get its own Michio-Clone.

  • LOL this is fucking awesome

  • i wanna fuck his brain so bad!!! does he have an a sexy nephew or son i can procreate with lol

  • as for the U.S. education system... the U.S. powers make sure they get what they pay for, they pay for a system that creates increasingly dumber people. It is the Uneducation System... indoctrination, not education. Free, Critical Thought... this is where genius begins.

  • Comment removed

  • Michael Schrage got schooled

  • 2.30 Mr socialogy major got pwned

  • wow is there anything Jimmy Page can't do?!

  • Sadly the US has plenty of simple minded immigrants too.

  • And who created the United States? Mostly north-western Europeans and then German immigrants.

  • yea white people r dumb...

  • the irony is - the irony is - the irony is - the irony is - the irony is - the irony is - the irony is - the irony is -

  • Silicon Roundabout REPRESENT.

  • Well the fat guy looks frustrated.

  • Am I the only one who thinks that the title of this video is hilarious.

  • this jap thinks that people are born with this intelligence. bottom line is they are taught it. I didnt need him to act elitist with me. ask him about his peoples war intelligence with pearl harbour.

  • @leonphelps123 You are born stupid or never went to school... ie You made no sense.

  • @leonphelps123 You're being an asshole. Please stop being an asshole.

  • @leonphelps123 are you seriously suggesting that some people aren't born with more mental ability or aptitude than others???

    you just gotta take music theory lessons and study real hard and practice all the time and ofcourse you can be as talented as Mozart, anyone can, after all, that intelligence is taught, and can't possibly be naturally inherent to the person...

    ask yourself why he specifically used "genius" when referring to the H1B, then look up the definition of genius, dumbass...

  • @DeeZStankYNutZ intelligence is inherited.

  • @fdesouchecom thanks for backing me up, I appreciate you being honest and admitting when you are wrong

  • (What's with the shoes...?)

  • SCIENCE=WIZARDRY

    it was at one point in the enlightenment in europe...why don't we herald it for what it is today? it saved our asses in WW2...and without it we wouldn't have cell phones, computers etc. Typical scumbag business raped america

  • The ir, the iro, the iro, the i, th, the, the irony is, the iron, the irony is

  • Im a Sociology Major :(

  • smashed

    

  • Now THIS guy knows what he is talking about...

  • I love this video. Michio Kaku is a great mind in modern society.

  • Science, maths etc has been HARD for all generations. In this day and age, children in western societies don't push themselves, nor get pushed by their parents or schools to succeed at a higher level.

    places such as India and China push their kids to achieve at a higher level.

  • @W00Dclash great point

  • I couldn't agree more that colleges slam students with a wall of F's if the are not used to the curriculum and intensity. Willing students who may need to sharpen up and focus are shown the door by mid-term. Fucking shame.

  • America produced and continues to produce giants in technology and science. No country comes close to our universities in terms of publishing and innovation. Been that way since before H1B's.

    Also, the jobs Mr. Kaku mentions that can't be filled are probably .00001% of the jobs in America, give or take a magnitude. The vast majority of H1B's are for jobs that require bachelors, not a big pool of jobs needing PhDs.

    It is NAIVE to think employers don't seek foreigners for cheap tech labor.

  • The American Education System wasn't meant to create intelligent people. It is meant to create cannon fodder and worker drones so the rich can live in prosperity.

  • money, people who sells the product gets mre

    Money than those who create it.. Eg in a context easier fr u guys, the music industry. The record label gets more

    Money than the artist.. Soo who Dyu wanna be, the replaceable artist, or the

    Corporate label.

  • THE I. THE I. THE I. THE I.

    THE I. THE I.

  • respect.... the guy to his right a faggoty chode

  • A genuine plead for education.... how obvious it is to people who are in a position to see this clearly...

    how DUMB is the result our educational system births graduates.

    So why argue over illegal immigrants in our school system.. when with or without.. the result will still be a mass of non critical thinking graduates either way.

    This is troubling. What is the solution? How do we birth out smarter more intelligent critical thinking students to benefit society?

  • Like a boss

  • As correct at Kaku is here, I hate the fact that everything is all about science and progression now. What ever happened to just being happy? Science is not the end-all-be-all.

  • @portalnuk Science is the reason you are able to sit in on your butt and think like a hippie instead of foraging through bushes picking berries off the ground and hunting predators with a pointy stick....just a thought.

  • @mattbesquare That's just the elitist attitude I was referring to in my comment. I know that I could not post my comment otherwise, but we were far past foraging through bushes for food when technology came along.

  • @portalnuk techno: latin for knowledge. technology: the application of knowledge. technology is what brought us from foraging in the bushes. It didn't come along because it is not a thing.

  • @Aeros802 my friend opted not to go to the state school i did to go to a smaller one for less money and psycholody, graduated with a 3.8 something. I went to state, graduatued 2.7 in computer science and i dont regret that at all. Im pretty sure i still school him on psych/philos too

  • He looks and sounds like an Asian Bill Maher

  • after his speech... "fuck yea"

  • Ofcourse american education system is terrible, it teaches creationism for fuck's sake.

  • @DarkHysteria O_o no it doesn't. large groups want that but they don't teach it except at private schools which consistently outperform the public schools on all standardized tests anyways.

    I'd say gearing curriculum to the slowest students is a bigger problem. No child left behind needs to end, and more importantly we need to include more math and sciences and less bullshit. Public schools are full of bullshit classes too so don't even start with targeting a single group like that.

  • @metalictempest Also you need to implement the metric system in all layers of education, working with imperial units just adds another layer of confusion. How many inches was a feet again?. How many Feet in a yard? how many yards in a mile? How many how many kelvins are 100 degrees fahrenheit?

  • @Jokker88 I agree with this.. the imperial unit system was invented by morons..

  • Michio Kaku es brutalmente sincero.

  • american dream is over , forget it ... Usa is not the powerfull country we knew bef.

  • the iron- the iron- the irony is- the irony- the irony is- the ir- the irony- the irony is-

  • That arrogant arse sitting next to Michio is damn irritating when he tires to speak over the top of Michio

  • Looks like the best educationis self educating ourselves in America!

  • HB-1 visas are GROSSLY abused.

  • How are you going to argue against one of the

    the smartest men on the planet? You aren't even

    smart enough to notice the mistake in this sentence

    on the first read. Now please read it again, and find the

    the mistake. Then, you will realize how smart this man

    is, and that no argument you can make against him

    will be valid.

  • Bow to the master!

  • 2:48, What do you do after you've just been intellectually demolished. Agree and try to pretend that what you said was misunderstood I guess.

  • the irony is..the irony is..the irony is...that young American generation has all the needful resources right from their birth..computers, internet, everything but youngsters are still not going for sciences because u have to work hard in these fields...and they don't wanna work hard..simple as that..schools discouraging sciences is Bullshit..fact is they don't wanna work hard anymore..now if someone can earn descent amount of money by working in these PizzaShops then why go for difficult stuff

  • @yoyopro1 i have a question, do the schools in America actively *encourage* students to pick up science?

  • @27kdon do they *encourage* students to pick up Sociology, Philosophy??? how do sooo many students go for sociology and philosophy???

  • @yoyopro1 so the answer is no?

  • @27kdon indeed. they don't encourage students to take sociology and philosophy but still students are taking up that shit.....why?? think about it

  • @yoyopro1 i see. but i have one further question, given that I do not know much about sociology and philosophy, are they really much easier than science?

  • @27kdon Students do get a fairly good idea about how difficult sciences are when they are in high schools....they very well know you need lot of hardwork in sciences and comparatively very less brains, hardwork in sociology, philosophy....students know maths, physics is difficult! thats why they like to stay away from it!

  • @yoyopro1 guess science is not for everyone.. thanks for ur input

  • wow Michio's got some massive balls .... go SCIENCE!

  • Professor Michio Kaku has an Orbituary Cancer Message to Grateful Dead Steve Jobs! Duh, could be the Apple Pioneer Industry originated at the Genesis Garden of EDen Forbidden Knowledge Tree? Did he (Steve Jobs) Was Known by the Great Tide Pointer Bossing Vic Sloth?!

  • The guy on the right, didn't like this video.

  • 1:58 I love the look of the face of the guy on the right.

  • SALUTE!!!! No kuku from Kaku this time! lol

  • BEST TITLE EVER!!!!!

  • The irony is... the irony is... the irony is... SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  • GOOO KAKU!!!

  • who cares if the united states isn't the technology powerhouse that it once was. I rather have 10 silicon valleys all over the world than one silicon value concentrated in one part of the world. Let individuals pursue science and engineering because they find it fascinating , not because Country A is producing more scientists and engineers than country B. The MORE the merrier!

  • @Pentazoid111 I'm happy as long as science is being done somewhere. But one of my concerns is that it's getting harder and harder for individuals in America who ARE genuinely fascinated in science to pursue it, because our leaders have foolishly decided that science isn't important anymore. And so less funding is going towards it.

  • How is it getting harder and harder for individuals in the US to pursue a career in science or engineering? The politicians in this country aren't promoting laws that would impede the goal of an american interested in science and engineering.There are no quota's in place that limit the number of americans who want to bee engineers and scientists. Science in generally has been more promoted by society than it has at anytime in US history.

  • @Pentazoid111 To give 1 example: About 2 decades ago, we spent $1 billion digging a 50 mile circular tunnel near Dallas, Texas. It was going to be the site of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC), which would've had higher energy levels than CERN's current Large Hadron Collider. But then Congress decided they didn't want to spend the proposed $11 billion on it, so the SSD was scrapped, and we spent another billion dollars to fill the tunnel back in.

  • @aroblesCG

    Yeah seriously, the US would be a lot better if we had REAL leaders, not politicians.

  • @aroblesCG Ok, Americans who have a fascination for science can move just like their immigrant counterparts (I know it's easier said than done). The world doesn't revolve around us.

  • @Pentazoid111 The point is that you won't have it, they all leave. There will be nothing left because American policies and the state of the economy is discouraging to foreign labour. The problem is compounded by the fact that America's educational system seems incapable of producing high class students en mass. Unfortunately.

  • @Pentazoid111

    If we paid Scientists like we do players of Golf, Football, Baseball and Basketball, surely by now we would have cured aids, invented the electric flying car, and the completion of a spaceport on Mars would be old news.

    Instead we have war, pollution, incurable plagues and $100 million dollar sports idols.

    Sadly, humankind is devolving, progressing in reverse, back to the stone age and the priorities of our species, ignoring education while encouraging fame & fortune, is just sick!

  • @organizedatheism Devolving, yes, but mainly only in America. :)

  • @Pentazoid111 Surprising remark for an American citizen. I applaud your open visor.

  • Dr. Kaku is so right.

  • I agree with theonlykisboi - American don't want to do the hard work required for Engineering and the Sciences. They would much rather get wasted and chase ass.

    I think this is a problem stemming from our grade school and high school educations failing to get kids excited about Math and Science.

  • Discouraging students from taking classes is a load of bull people just run away from anything that requires a little bit of hard work, neither science or math classes are easy, you have to work hard to get what you want, of all countries that you think would be most profound, it would be right here in the US but unfortunately that mentality has long drifted away.

  • Unfortunately, the work ethic in this country is laughable and if something doesn't change, the US will be in bigger trouble. my economics teacher said that you can make numbers anything you want. you can have 100% graduation rate, but that doesn't mean that these students are going to be prepared for the world.

  • @Deldrox Yeah, the only thing we can do is educate ourselves as much as possible, learn to think critically and also try to get others around us to do the same. Knowledge is power.

    The film Zeitgeist Moving Forward really helped me understand why there are so many problems in society, what type of education people need to be free, and what a healthy sustainable society looks like. I urge everyone and anyone I talk to, to check it out.

    /watch?v=4Z9WVZddH9w

  • IS Michio Kaku Japanese?

  • @Sneakydud2 Yes he is, and he is a very famous scientist as well. And what he is saying is all true, I have had schooling experience outside the US, and the curriculum was very intense, they were doing college level classes in ninth grade, I had a very hard time coping in practically all of the classes including English which I speak everyday of my life.

  • @Sneakydud2 His name sure sounds like it. But he was born in the US.

  • TRUE

  • That is one of the biggest truth's about American nation. Basically Parasites nation, more like a leach. America was the biggest reasons for economic instability.

    ..............................­........This guy Mr. Michio Kaku rocks................

  • The education system is a dumming down system that creates only marginal thinkers because there is no desire by the establishment to have independent thinkers doing the work for the Corporate monopolies. All the thinkers come from countries where independence is not the underlying motive for life. They are all interdependent societies that they come from.

  • ''america fuck yeah' built by all the other countries and the scientific community moving the country forward

  • The educational system in the U.S. is not structured to foster the natural inquisitiveness that every child has, but to get them used to completing repetitive boring tasks on command, so that they are ready for a lifetime of unfulfilling jobs.

    The government views intelligent self directed learners a threat to the status quo, so of course our educational system isn't designed to create those kinds of young adults.

    Home schooling, or democratic schools, are really the only options in the U.S.

  • id like to get drunk with kaku

  • @yvan2505 bro this guy is genius. watch any documentary or any show with science involved. he'll be there.

  • @yvan2505 it's just ruining you jersey shore marathon watching right? you're so f'ing dumb, you don't even know he's japanese american. you need to get slapped back into your trailer living mama's cootchie.

  • As far a I know in my profession the US companies offer around 50 to 60% of a new startup business in Russia, or former Soviet state, for example. So where should I go? No question, a joke..... . But real.

  • US was a magnet for intelligence foreign educated people. He is right. It is better in other societies, I believe.

  • Don't think iv'e ever seen Michio this pissed off. Good, i liked it.

  • Wow, ty for the full video link. I never seen Kaku this fired up, i though he was the always cool positive headed type. I would like to see this side of Kaku more often. Sociology is garbage and students are graduating in dozens upon dozens even hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt majoring in worthlessness like Sociology/Philosophy and Psychology.

  • @Aeros802 Yeah, I was surprised to see Michio like this too. Seems like he cares a lot about this issue, so I thought it was worth sharing. But I have to say that subjects like sociology, philosophy, and psychology DO have worth. They just don't translate into a job/paycheck the way other subjects do.

  • @aroblesCG

    well, subjects like sociology/psychology do have its worth when there is demand for jobs requiring those subjects. When the supply of people with psychology degrees vastly exceeds the demand for psychologists, those degrees are pretty much useless.

  • @Aeros802 I agree with sociology and philosophy but not psychology. Psychology is an actual science and is directly related to neuroscience as many majors you major in psych with specialization in neuroscience which is brain science. So it would be wise to differentiate these.

  • @Aeros802 Philosophy is worthless? What the fuck am I reading?
