Race cars don’t need headlights because the track is always lit. $Kardashev

Human reproduction is already biological RSI

[Troy (e/acc) 🐂🀄️ @TroyOnChain]

the real acceleration is that our children inherit more than our genes

they inherit our tools and discoveries and get to start where we stopped

imagine that compounding toward a kardashev civilization

Generational Thesis. Kardashev to infinity. @elonmusk @beffjezos

[Lightning McMeme @realMcMeme]

@CDAWGISGOD @elonmusk @beffjezos Only up the Kardashev scale from here boys

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@beffjezos One step closer to Kardashev

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@signulll Kardashev II or you’re not really trying

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@CJHandmer Think in terms of Kardashev II and the path becomes obvious

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@MarioNawfal It’s a start, but still peanuts on the Kardashev Scale

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@lrocket It is the only way to build a civilization at the Kardashev II scale

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Just trying to get to measly 1% completion of a puny Kardashev Type I civilization!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@sundarpichai Wow

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@sundarpichai That will probably happen.

Any self-respecting civilization should at least reach Kardashev Type II.

In my opinion, we are currently only at <5% of Type I. To get to ~30%, we would need to place solar panels in all desert or highly arid regions.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

This is the path to a Kardashev Type II civilization that harnesses most of the power of our Sun, which is more than a billion times more energy than everything else on Earth combined

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Any self-respecting civilization needs to reach at least Kardashev II

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

One could consider any given civilization’s progress as % completion of Kardashev.

By that measure, we are <1% towards even type 1.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@beffjezos Fission is good, but nothing comes close to that staggeringly gigantic fusion reactor in the sky.

When you think in Kardashev terms, it becomes utterly obvious that the energy released by our Sun is all that matters.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@DavidSHolz Kardashev Type IV!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

As we progress along the Kardashev Scale, energy harnessed on Earth will increase a hundredfold and will mostly be solar aka fusion aka starlight.

Then energy harnessed will increase perhaps a billionfold if we make it to Kardashev II, with space solar power, and another billionfold if we harness the energy of our galaxy.

What I’m saying is that there is a lot of upside potential!!!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Once you understand Kardashev Scale, it becomes utterly obvious that essentially all energy generation will be solar.

Also, just do the math on solar on Earth and you soon figure out that a relatively small corner of Texas or New Mexico can easily serve all US electricity.

@evafox Critical step towards Kardashev II
