Michio Kaku: Will Mankind Destroy Itself?

http://bigthink.com

The physicist sees two major trends in the world today: the first is toward a multicultural, scientific, tolerant society; the other, as evidenced by terrorism, is fundamentalist and monocultural. Whichever one wins out will determine the fate of mankind.

All I see in the internet is type 1 faggotry. Also he advocates a type 1 monoculture that is 'multiculturism'. Rap and rock as a sign of progress? Give me a break. It's not multiculturism if all culture is blended down into a grey mush. Or maybe that's what multicult really means. The triumph of certain Western ideologies and tech at the expense of native cultures, all the while making those cultures believe that what they offer has some real value.

Mark my words, people will soon start to eat each other to survive, and that is the beginning of the end of mankind.

I think it's odd that he's trying to categorize civilizations when we're the only life we know of so far.
