Tea with Michio Kaku economist.com/video

[Lenwelocked]

I reaaaaaally wanna live to be 200 lol

[InuShonen]

real life subtitles XD Nice!

[laurence265]

michio is optimistic on him possibly living to 2100. he'll be 153 years old. I hope he does.

[Arkinight]

I can't comment on the science, I have no expertise. But Kaku is really naive or even dead wrong about the political system and his general statements on politics - all one need do is consult another scientific genius: Noam Chomsky.

We're increasingly becoming more and more Orwellian in the West and with it come all the hallmarks of totalitarianism.

[234jrtjsoejt4jty0]

WHOAH !!! the 6:52 reminds me of another video !!!

[woloabel]

meastrus idealitatis

[SmarticlesTheGoof]

I really do hope he lives to see the year 2100 :D

[deanmullen10]

one of the deepest perhaps truth we must accept yet will be very difficult is the possible fact that no one intends to do anything wrong and the concept of not disliking or criticizing anyone as they maybe only unlucky enough to have grown up around certain information and in such a way that they became a bad person or something was negative about their personality.

Although criminals should still be jailed to avoid further crimes, I believe we should like everyone to become truly intelligent

[shuan3]

remember this is the guy that suggest that we will control the weather and natural disasters and be able to power all our robots with solar power and we will be able to colonise other planets lol

[Catcherintherye11111]

he will see the beginning

[Crazy80563]

My God is that thing ever going to get thrown out? Get rid of that couch before it shits!

[Crazy80563]

How Dare they offer such a trashy couch to such a remarkable human being!

[georgemargaris]

7:34 yeah no two democracies had ever a conflict. But who says that we have "real" democracies today? Did we ever have real democracy anywhere on the planet?

Banks create money out of nothing. Military Industrail Complex is being payed by taxes, although probably no one voted for that.

There are many many things you cannot vote away in this system. Also there is a big propaganda machine going on, making you believe (and vote for ) the wrong way.

We are not free. Too much regulations!

[toverkleet]

@georgemargaris The UK and the US had a major conflict with eachother during WW 2. Churchill wanted the US to help fight the Nazis during early early fortys, say a year before Pearl Harbor. Churchill wanted Hitler stopped, Roosevelt didnt care as much. Curchill want the Empire back, Roosevelt wouldnt let the UK since their history. No war conflict but a big conflict nonetheless during the 20th century where a war was needed to be fought.

[georgemargaris]

@toverkleet Its not about roosevelt or churchill... Its about the banks in the background.

Multinational banks were (and are) the driving financing power behind all the past WorldWars.

Maybe that's where Hitlers hate for jews came from...

Bankers profited from the wars no matter who won! Its not about winning wars, and whos side wins.

Banks are so much above those levels, the usual rules dont apply to them. They are outside of democracy!

Tell me why we have so many wars even today?

[toverkleet]

@georgemargaris What are you talking about?? Is this some weird ass conspiracy theory? WW2 had nothing to do with banks, be realistic.

[draconia47]

Most of what he saying is already happening you can get glasses that have a small projecter built in to the glasses arm and display your email/web and other stuff onto you glasses. Also currently they have a completly mechanical hand that works just like a human hand minus the nerve endings(pain, pleasure, over all feeling) that you control using your mind as you would your regular hand. So please always keep in mind anything is possible and 2 what might be right today may not be tomorrow.

[deanmullen10]

We don't need jobs in the futre, machines can do anything and give away almost everything for free. If so then with machines running every company from primary, secondary to tertiary economic activity, all products could be handed out by the machines to us for free, so in theory couldn't we just stop using economics all together?

[deanmullen10]

Michio Kaku is great! I cant wait, going to get his book on sunday and also go tea! haha Tea is great :)

[trollwarlord3]

how about having virtual sex using a software in your contact lens.

[plutoniangirl]

i love this guy!

[WatchmenDrManhattan]

Not to shabby but it is a bit of wishful thinking you should not underestimate the inefficiency of economy.

[FinnishFuturist]

I simply love his optimism. If he doesn't see his predictions come true I will pledge my life's work to ensuring it does. I swear to it.

[emorocks1108]

I love how optimistic Mr. Michio Kaku was :D.

[9894351513]

I always wandered why does Dr. kaku's office looks old? His computer is old and uses CRT monitor with radiation filter, the sofa is Old and yes dirty.... Does anyone know why? Doesn't the University he teaches in provide him with better equipment?

[rysskryssning]

@9894351513 He isn't a sell-out like everyone else, he just does what he feels he needs to do. It's called being a good person. :]

My favourite physicist!

[LocoGroove]

Michio Kaku is a cool guy but his predictions are way too much...

[EliteNoMercy]

omg i couldnt pay attention kept thinking about the dirty sofa lmfao

[oviatb]

Crazy old man wants to live hundred more years :)

Just joking, I love Kaku

[6SpAr6TAN69]

You can tell it' s Economists, they dont spare money to buy a proper sofa.

[xBlake4]

@MrLilort

God damn, you're stupid.

[MrLilort]

@xBlake4

now i know. thanks for sayin that...sorry. !!

[masterwelder65]

Yay

[NachoVPMusic]

I have to say I'm a fan of Michio Kaku, and I have read most of his books, but on this video I think he went too far over that "stopping aging process" topic. What he says is an utopia - do you think that governments will really allow science to enlarge lifetime? There would be too much population... who would pay the retirement of so many people every month ?

[kingmafi6699]

@NachoVPMusic

The nature of the economic system will change.

Technology will eliminate capitalism, Repetitive labor is phased out thus changing the nature of work from being labor intensive and one being of voluntary means and based on people's passion for progress and knowledge.

[momo1tm]

@kingmafi6699 it will be a very bumpy road to get there

[9894351513]

@NachoVPMusic haha, good point :)

[libertarianjury]

Kaku rocks... I wonder what he thinks about Kanematsu Sugiura?

[haxidle]

How about a cure for cancer first?

[libertarianjury]

@haxidle search "Tullio Simoncini" and Vitamin B17

[insideaNWO]

yea where all going to be chipped living in transparent hive mind Society...with eHealthcare...no doctor, because it’s going to be a machine reading your chip implant

[MardukHail]

I love Michio Kaku, but like most rich people, he's living in an ivory tower. The poor and middle men have already gone into construction.

It takes years of extreme self discipline to become "experts" like him. Countries like the US don't fund education anyway. You can't work without an expensive degree.

The few specialists in this world are surrounded by billions of ignorant, hungry poor people who are likely to burn down the Alexandrian library before his dreams come to fruition.

[exador1]

reminded me of 'rainbows end' by Vernor Vinge....the stuff about contact lenses and seeing all the info etc... vernor wrote about it all a few years ago in fantastic book...

just blew my mind ...

[d0ssier]

"futurology as an intellectual endeavor"

ಠ_ಠ

[Swift2001]

He's not anti-middle class. The "middlemen" survive by become more skilled. You need to become an expert. Make the plans for the robots to make the house. Or learn how to make robots, or how to program them.

He never talks about politics.

[adrienrain]

We should take up a collection to replace his sofa.

[universetechnique]

Remember I was here.Thai

[Helionaeic]

And what about democracys' tendancies of war against their own people through currency debasement, generational indebtedness, erecting barriers to entry in state monitored industries, civil liberties abuses, and crime laws that have nothing to do with injustice?

[AngilasGuy]

This all sounds great, but how will we fuel this future? How can we feed this future? How can we support an exponentially growing population with increasing energy needs? What can we replace oil with?

[novazee]

@AngilasGuy good question, I'm wondering about the same question. Fossil fuels are very limited, even now. We'll run out energy supply eventually.

[drmoroe30]

I like Michio but he is slapping his mug on too many things these days. He has embarrassed himself on a couple different occasions when he was talking out his ass. One such occasion was a recent video response to a question a fan asked about evolution.

He needs to stick to his expertise.

[alnetworks2010]

@drmoroe30 Michio Kaku (the same as Carl Sagan on the past) has become the "scientists official mouth" of Illuminati "shit-elite" -in decline-, ... since long time ago.

The more we see him on TV -regaling us his hilarious explanations-, the more it seems evident his implication with the NWO agenda.

He is OWNED too!

Kaku described california missile launched last year as "the contrail of a plane" ¡¡¡!!!

watch?v=uIVG0G3J_Ig

[TylerNull]

Where the f**k is my flying car?

It doesn't matter how spectacularly these futurists fail, there's always an appetite for more of their blather.

What I want to know is why aren't physicists explaining that the only way to reconcile relativistic with quantum dynamics is to recognize the physical universe is but some kind of shadow of creation, whereof MOST dimensions lie in another domain.

Evidently, modern science doesn't fit into the trendy atheist-socialist storyline of their sponsors.

[Rajce89]

does somebody know was he thinking on stem cells when he said "our kids will stop aging at 30" ?

[TheInflikted1]

You're a complete idiot if you think that 'theorists" have put us in debt. Take an economics class.

[brandonlacavera]

This is why the markets are fucked every one has a theory nothing that is solid or proof just speculation this is why we are in debt

[AwesomeHaHaAnime]

Damn you micho, I can't sleep because im watching this great interview!

[KaohiWaianae]

I am not a physicist or a scientist, but I am a Futurist in Hawaii.I am a miniaturist therefore,I get the nano.As a native of the Pacific, we already have experienced the po'o I live with a refuse worker and do speak to humans living in designed hoppers because of nuclear isotopes.Democray futurist, see its politics on the web with global populace or voters.As for the medical field to live longer unlikely because of the unethical everyday practices, however, a different typeof medical institute.

[Rockerstatus84]

I completely agree with Soal159.

[ffdp419]

"forces of war are diminished..." imagined that...

[inlinekidk2]

This is so interesting!

[reggiegroove]

I can think of at least 1 "Democracy" (lots of emphasis on the "") that just ca't stay away from wars!!

[JD06STi]

He is saying that the entire middle class, which a majority of the population is, will be useless. Future looks bright huh?

[novazee]

@JD06STi no, he's saying there will be no future for robot like people. People who think like they are being programmed to think. People who have no common sense, who can't reason. Because robots will take their place. Only creative, right minded, rational people will survive. Every human being is very much capable of doing these things, only if they open their mind. (Unless that person is a complete retard)

[JD06STi]

@novazee I stand by my original statement. Not everybody is awake like you. Most people are robotic in their daily lives. Probably not by choice, but by necessity. So when Dr. Kaku says that there will be no place in the future world for people with a robotic job skill, he's taking about most of the working population. The working man. The blue collar worker. The middle class.

[Rogersmith026]

When he talks about inside knowledge, this info can be put in a database and with a simple program, can find the best areas to live for example. <--- Is the future of search such as Google and Bing. The doctor thing that he discusses at the beginning could be added to almost every aspect of modern computing.

[soal159]

I can't agree with his assessments humanity will never be that benevolent with it self all that technology will probably be used against us though not in conspiracy but out of greed and power.

[kennethlei57]

Coolest Physicist on the planet.

[G20GAN]

@kennethlei57 unfortunately he has to sit on the dirtiest sofa on the planet :/

[ericunderscores]

@G20GAN That's his sofa. Seems to make him less snobby than you..

[zildjianuo7]

@G20GAN Yea.. how disrespectful...

[testwhite]

@G20GAN with all those books around him, that's probably the sofa in his office, or close :T

[ibeleaf]

@G20GAN i have an old couch like that in my basement, it's ugly, and looks dirty, but just due to age. smells nice and it's pretty clean... and probably the comfiest couch in the world with years of ass groove worked into it

[MacZambrottVEVO]

@kennethlei57 and the best
