I used to have a lot of respect for this guy and really enjoyed his speeches on quantum physics but after seeing this video I can honestly say if this is his belief or philosophy on politics I probably won't be listening to him anymore. I don't care what the guy says and how many degrees he has history has shown the more control you give to the few the more the many suffer. Skip to about 2:40 to get to the main discussion. Where he comes out and says that if you are opposed to one world currency and government than you are a terrorist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaqk-Cs8zms

He is right on the level he is addressing. If the human species is to realize its true potential it must give up failed concepts such as nationalism and all the conflict and wars it generates.

Wow.....Micio...just...wow. Look bud..you are a brilliant theoretical physicist and I wll always look to you for layman explanations for incredibly complex matters of astronomy and physics. However.......yeh, lets stay away from world social and political issues shall we?

I think one of the drawbacks of being so brilliant in one field is that the public has a habit of taking you seriously in another. Just like talented movie directors, writers and musicians - we respect what they do; they're great at their chosen craft. But then when they decide to weigh in on politics, we give them too much credit one way or the other. Kaku is brilliant. His work on theoretical physics and parallel universes really intrigues me. But one of the biggest problems with a guy in possession of this type of mind is that it always crosses over into real-world theory. Look, Kaku, just stick to telling us how we can defeat the aliens if they ever land. Theorizing about how an all-controlling one-world government is the best approach for humanity just makes you seem like another schmuck willing to sell every man, woman and child up the river for some illusion of peace and togetherness. It's not a surprise. Big social programs have always been rooted in theory. They have never been birthed of anything the least bit practical. Someone sits and ponders a "better" way to do things. "Oh, hey, what if we take $1 from everyone and give it to the needy!?" Yeah, it's always well-intentioned to start. But they never think so far ahead as to image who will be taking the dollar, who will be distributing the dollar, and they definitely never think about the implications of simply giving someone a dollar instead of providing motivation and avenues to enable them to earn it. I can't say I lose respect for Kaku. He, like many other brilliant people who assume they can theorize a better way for us all to live, is just way out of his depth in allowing for that touch of hubris to color his mind from the true problems of people being ruled instead of people ruling themselves.
