Do you not see what is happening? We’re slowly climbing the solana:5wW9mhbwq1HTFh341iimpmrqBB4mfxdXiYhdYBL7hUnp scale. It’s not a matter of if it’s a matter of when. Don’t miss out.
how advanced is a civilization if its ambitions keep running into an energy shortage
in 1964 astronomer nikolai kardashev proposed measuring civilizations by the power they can harness
type I operates at planetary scale
type II reaches the energy output of an entire star
type III reaches the scale of a galaxy
on a commonly used extension of that scale humanity sits around 0 point 7
we have barely begun
reaching type I does not strictly require settling other planets
it requires an enormous expansion of our energy capabilities
beyond that the challenge becomes even more extraordinary
collecting stellar energy
building industry in space
creating places where life can thrive beyond earth
ai could help us discover and engineer the systems that make those ambitions possible
what excites me about kardashev is how much future there is left to build
e/acc
i want more people to understand the kardashev vision
so im going to make the future easier to picture
one image
one idea
one explanation at a time
what we could build
why it matters
what still needs to be solved
if one person gets curious enough to learn or build something
thats a start
e/acc
the biggest mistake many make is that they rush into trades only after they become obvious and consensus
that keeps you average
if you want to outperform, your job is to anticipate
find the trends, metas and narratives BEFORE the herd sees them
position early
then chill until the thesis plays out
you'll get some wrong
that's completely fine
but once or twice, you'll nail a kingmaker trade
and THAT trade can change everything
looking at the sun in kardashev terms makes you wonder how much of our future is waiting on better engineering
collect it
store it
put it to work
e/acc
People still aren’t understanding how big Kardashev could actually become.
Beff literally just made Kardashev Research the official e/acc nonprofit and said he’s been working on this with Maxwell Ramstead for a while. He called it the start of a “generational institution.”
This isn’t just some random narrative they came up with overnight. Beff has been publicly talking about humanity moving up the Kardashev Scale for YEARS. Now they’re actually putting an organization behind that vision.
And this is still the very beginning. Wait until Kardashev Research actually starts announcing research, partnerships and what they’re building.
