A flaw of the Kardashev scales is that it biases our thinking toward the sun as a desired energy source, rather than simply an energy yardstick. Biases us toward bulky, very low energy density systems. Counterproductive. 😃

*"Capable of controlling the entire energy of its planet"*
Never understood what that even means, or how it would be accomplished.

This "physicist" lied about having a PhD...

Life, dependent on the energy from the sun, survives in a minuscule layer on the surface of the earth. It is our incubator and our fish tank. It is only home we will ever have.

I thought lex was russian? It's not pronounced kardashev but rather kardashov.
