This is going to be my home for 6 weeks. Adventure time out the ass. Loose women and probably getting pretty hams. I’m going to get a weird haircut, travel to a place that I have no idea exist, meet a girl that speaks a completely different lang than me and hook up, dance with a group of people that I don’t even know, try some sketchy food, listen to a new genre, vibe with some new bros, stay way too late, cram for a test, sleep on a train, take hella pics, have someone comment on it and say wow, probably through in like a sky dive or bungie jump activity, see kaity and ryan, see the LHC, see some snow, see a extremely hot girl like next level status, get inspired to be weird fun spontaneous and not follow the normal way of life, see old culture and new and take that shit all the way and internalize it in a funky way and bring back to the states, The states, I like the way that sounds so I’ll probably just say i am from the states, get some funky as clothes over there.

Have fun stay classy and funky. Do everything

Party in the park with niggas. Camera Kate is whipping it downtown to the park. Emma SkyPup And Flowens riding with, love that. Hopefully everyone keeps it cool and keeps it mature but a hint of a little immature vibes in there but mainly when we get there. I want good weather and good vibes for the rest of my life

science-junkie:

In 1963 on his “Transmission of Information by Extraterrestrial Civilizations” the Russian astronomer Kardashev proposed a system to classify any extraterrestrial civilizations based on the energy available to them in order to make radio broadcasts beyond the borders of their home planet. This system became known as the Kardashev scale.

Later, this scale abandoned the reference to radio transmissions, focusing more generally on the magnitude of energy that a civilization is able to use for any purpose. The existence of these civilizations is purely hypothetical, but this scale has been used as a starting point in the SETI project, as well as in many works of science fiction.

It consists of (originally) three types, determined in function of the technological level based on the amount of energy that a civilization can use:

Type I: civilization able to use all the energy available on its planet (4x10^12 watts).

Type II: civilization able to use the energy radiated by its star (4x10^26 watts).

Type III: civilization able to use the energy coming from its galaxy (4x10^37 watts)

Carl Sagan has defined a method, starting from the initial types, to calculate even fractions, by means of the following formula:

In which K represents the level of civilization of the scale and MW the megawatts used. According to this formula, the human civilization would be a 0.7 Kardashev scale civilization, while nature a 0.9 one. So mankind is moving from Type 0 to Type I society.

Now, dear anon, I’m going to ask you a question. If I had an answer to the last part of your query, would I be here, playing with Tumblr?
I can only say that technological development is a necessary, but not sufficient condition. We need a drastic change in the social and political context in order to make the jump (namely, achieve globalism, know how to modify the weather, master space travel).

““I’m often asked and sometimes in an accusatory way: are you atheist or agnostic? The only ‘ist’ I am, is a scientist. I don’t associate myself with movements, I just think for myself. The movement someone attaches you to a philosophy or a movement, they assign all the baggage, and the rest of the philosophy that goes with it to you. And when you wanna have a conversation they’ll assert, but they already know everything there is to know about you because of that association. But that’s not the way to have a conversation. I’m sorry. It’s not.””
