    Michio Kaku here shows that he's familiar enough with occult ideas to use it in his work and it's a consistent pattern you see within science. Newton was absolutely obsessed with hermeticism and alchemy. Francis Bacon wrote the Gnostic work of the New Atlantis. Charles Darwin read John Milton's Gnostic-Luciferian tale of Paradise Lost incessantly.

    Scientific England in general has been a hub of occultism, alongside the North Italian city states and the Netherlands in particular. Occultism is inimical to modernity and a great part of understanding the world we live in today is understanding the occultism of modernity.

    Scientific theories are rarely if ever anything new and hide their philosophical origins, whether true or not, behind a veneer of what we think of as science but is something that really only mystifies it for us outsiders. You should be skeptical of 'science' and scientists, especially if there's no apparent, extensive practical application of what they do.

    This doesn't mean occultism is the true path but realize none of the big philosophical questions will ever be solved by science because it is only a tool for understanding the natural world—the big questions are metaphysical and of the world-beyond-this-world.

    That's a very, very truncated version of it anyway.

    I guess Michio Kaku got a pantheistic touch in his world view, so he is kinda open for religious interpretations as well. Kabbalah, just like Christian mysticism swims in deep waters, just like many cosmologists do.
    Father of the Big Bang theory was a Catholic priest (Georges Lemaître) and there is no Christianity without Judaism (old testament). It can be actually Islamic thing as well (Kalam cosmological argument).

    But yeah, anyway Kabbalah is not that "basic Judaism".

I really want to understand. Is there something undeniably true about the Kabbalah? (I must admit I know nothing about it, but I will try to find out now.. which kinda makes me wonder if they paid him handsomely for that endorsement... ).

    Loki how do you see this now after you have found Jesus?

    Agreed. He should stay off the subject. Maybe he is getting PAID like many others

    Metaphysics has a doctrine about how history repeats itself:

    "What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."
    But progressivism has a kind of denial for denial`s sake attitude which is tended to negate anything on the very basis that it is older, and it has become a fake moral code to follow the slogan of progressvisim itself:

    “So diffuse and pervasive is the progressive outlook,” wrote the critic George Scialabba in 1991, “that merely to articulate it is an achievement.”
    But it’s also a chronicle of the Straussian reckoning with progressivism: a cadre of scholars, governed by the conviction that “moral-political understandings” can transcend “time and place,” who accorded progressivism’s architects the dignity of taking them at their word, rather than reflexively discounting this as a product of self-interested historical actors’ “false consciousness.” It’s a reminder of one of progressivism’s blind spots—in English soccer parlance, its inclination to play the man, not the ball.
    Isnt it very portrayal of our progressivist scientific community? They are mostly self-interested and do not want to recognize it, and do not take them wrong that they are oblivious enough to forget that they are acting, however they might pay their life for the role. Still someone will get paid for the actings. Science is the alter-ego of progressivism, they go togather, as the metaphysics tells you there is no new things in the world, science and progressivism will tell you things are getting better if you dare to smash the old. The stark comparison of historiological narratives implies a foundamental historiological discrepancy hidden inside our conceptions of the world. They play as our rationales in thinking and judgements, as the foundations for forming our values. Progressivism will enhance the popular evaluation of science while depreciating dated ideas, heritages, traditions, almost everything can be subjected to denial in the names of science and antiquatedness.

    However, if we have scientists who are willing to assess their own knowledges and own ethical well-beings, they will not immediately reject metaphysics. What is more biased in favor of progressivism today is that we have powerful ruling communist regimes who adopt progressivism among all their enforcements, not to mention in secret whether the leaders are really adhering to their propagandized doctrines. However, we do not have radical anti-progressivist regimes in power anywhere in the world who enforce their propagandas like the communists do. By force, progressivism does not play fair, if they do not admit to their autocratic nature and disown their hypocrisy of proclaiming universal liberation of mankind. At least, why “that merely to articulate it is an achievement" situation happens? because it just seems pragmatical to admit to progressivism in the face of the existence of ruling communist regimes that are functioning as a part of the global capitalist and supranational-corporate order which is contending to supplant the traditional governments. Now this is happening. Communist regimes and multinational corporates go hands in hands like progressivism and science do.

    Michio Kaku is a japanese, and Japan has national religion of Shinto, which is a complex pantheistic religion, of course, this religion represents Japan and his cultural background, and does not stop him from becoming a successful scientist. There is no moral obligation in most japanese people to endorse progressivism at the cost of their national backgrounds so far.

    OF 10 HIGHEST IQ’S ON EARTH, AT LEAST 8 ARE THEISTS, AT LEAST 6 ARE CHRISTIANS:

    Terence Tao ( math Fields medal ) is considered the most intelligent man on earth.. Terence Tao believes in "god" ..He is not religious but he thinks that everything that exists was created by a higher sentient being



    Say that... being intelligent or great scientist does not mean that one cannot believe in transcendence.

    1.)Terrence Tao is not one of the best mathematicians of all time that would be Karl Friedrich Gauss etc... Terrence is overhyped.

    2.) Math is not a science. Science can become outdated and possibly replaced by another method but mathematics is more permanent. If you want truth that does not change tomorrow you look for it in pure mathematics not science. Mathematicians see math as 'high art' not a science.

    My assessment of mysticism:

    It is unhealthy, period. Although it has some historical foundations, people still need to be wary about its dissemination into popular culture. Our continuous philosophical discussion is meant to serve to demystify our historical heritages and transform them into reasonable ideas. If you notice how communists instigate the tension and conflicts, you will see them adopt underground tactics and secrecies hieredictary to mysticism. Is science the antidote for mysticism? no, the only antidote for mysticism is the historical justices done over time. But this is no progressivism, because progressivism can not achieve this outcome, however, they do expose social problems onto the surface, awaiting to be resolved through undefinable universal processes. Only thing could be positive to progressivism is this: they expose our social weakness. My view is basically this, our justices are done by supra-human powers, but I do not gather them into an idolization of a single God, our will has no singular role in forming this justice, this is what I call the "Universal Processes.": Something just clean up the mess for us. We do not need to over-mystify these processes, rather, we should just continue to pursue our development of philosophy and reason. Maybe our religions are a mystification and adoration of the universal processes, but we can see, there is also a process of developing from mystification to rationalism, from adoration to universal knowledges. Mystification will tend to deify our self, but my version of reason is that we can just keep being a human, not evolving nor devolving. Although there is an infinite possibility of ourself deforming our own living and mental conditions. That is, all human deformations are by the will of ourself, there is no evolution, or maintaining the status quo is the best evolution, anything caused by human will is by nature deformation; humanity is a dead bottomline, we can not break this barrier by ourself. The best human reason is therefore to maintain our status quo against the instability inside our mental universe.

    Demystification of history and mysticism is a long process, a continuing revolution in all details, it is also a process of human reason in development and becoming to itself.
