Here is a visual representation of the Kardashev scale and the amount of energy for each step: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale#/media/File:Consommations_énergétiques_des_trois_types_de_l'échelle_de_Kardashev.svg] Why is there a scale? It's hard to have an intelligent conversation about something if you don't have a way to think critically about it. Classification schemes is one way of creating a frame of critical thinking. You have to create criteria for the different levels. How did we get the Kardashev scale? Russian astrophysicist, Nikolai Kardashev, created the scale in a paper he published in 1964 called, “Transmission of Information by Extraterrestrial Civilizations”. The scale measures a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy it is able to use. What is the scale? Type 1 through 3. Frequently referred to as K1 through K3. A Type I civilization, also called a planetary civilization, has the capability to use all of the energy of its planet. A technological achievement that a K1 society would likely have is weather control. An example of this in movies would be any science fiction movie that shows Earth United by one government, or close cooperation, such as the movie Interstellar and 2010 Space Odyssey. References: the movie Interstellar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_(film) Stanley Kubrick Space Odyssey: * 2001 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062622/ * 2010 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086837/ A type II civilization, also called a stellar civilization, can use and control energy at the scale of its planetary system. Technological achievements that K2 civilizations would likely have is the ability to terraform and build megastructures. An example of a near type 2 is the TV series The Expanse. Most space operas fall into this category such as any Star Trek. I wanted to place Star Wars here to but since Sith lords frequently entertain ruling the galaxy, they must be nearing K3 contrary to Star Trek, where the galaxy is still a vast place that takes lifetimes to span even with warp drive. Another delightful noir/cyberpunk book series is the Takeshi Kovacs novels by Richard K Morgan. The first of which, Altered Carbon, was made into a Netflix movie. References: The Expanse: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3230854/ Star Trek serieses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek Richard K Morgan's Takeshi Kovacks book series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeshi_Kovacs A type III civilization, also called a galactic civilization, can control energy at the scale of its entire host galaxy. Movies like this do casually travel the wide reaches of the galaxy and the galaxy is as well known as any of us today see the Earth as well known and prospected by various nation states. The most famous example of this in movies would be, as I've already said, is Star Wars. More choices are Jupiter Ascending, as well as Valarian and the City of a Thousand Planets. In literature we have books like Vernor Vinges Zones of Thought, and Asimov's The Foundation. The Vinge book showcases civilizations up and down the kardashev model and so I highly recommend that to those who have a love for alien civilizations and interest in socio-economic development. Apple TV has produced and is streaming The Foundation as a multi series TV show, and it is very enjoyable and well acted, so go check it out. A feature length movie script that Hal Dace and I wrote Miss Wisenheimer and the Aliens falls into the K3 category as well but with the unique angle that despite having the ability to casually travel the galaxy like in Star Wars, there are no aliens so the film focuses on that mystery. I'll put a link to the short film version in the show notes. The short film version of the feature length movie, by the way, won an award at a Belgium film festival.

As you've heard on the show, it does help to quickly categorize levels of civilizations. A common criticism is that the jump from K2 to K3, from controlling the energy of a solar system to the ability to control all the energy of all the suns of a galaxy is too big of a step. But that said, it did actually do the job when analyzing science fiction movies. Another criticism is what about beyond K3? This brings us to the next topic. Typical adds to the scale At the front of the scale, it's typical to use 0 for civilizations that are just starting out or have yet to master energy generation. At the other end of the scale, it's common to add a level 4 beings who can control or use the entire universe. Because seriously, why would a Sith stop at making only a galaxy of beings unhappy when she could put an entire universe into a bad funk? Adding level 5 brings gives us a category for those who control collections of universes, or said another way, multiple dimensions. For those who have seen Valarian, remember the extraction scene that the main character, Valarian was involved with required them to go to another dimension. And for those who have seen the Thor movies, this gives us a catagory for Asgardians.

There are some books that follow characters through the changes that happen to a civilization as they climb the Kardashev scale. Charles Stross' Accellerando describes a progression from K0 to K2. In Italian, accelerando means "speeding up" and is used as a tempo marking in musical notation. In Stross' novel, it refers to the accelerating rate at which humanity in general, and/or the novel's characters, head towards the technological singularity. This story focuses mostly on human culture. To the author's credit, he does all of this in one book. Accellerando: Vernor Vinges Zones of Thought novels, shows civilizations climbing to high parts of the scale, and many falling to lower parts of the scale. And like The Foundation, there is a group who is interested in helping to prevent a fall or helping to shorten the dark ages that follow after a fall. A Fire Upon the Deep is a 1992 science fiction novel by American writer Vernor Vinge. It is a space opera involving superhuman intelligences, aliens, variable physics, space battles, love, betrayal, genocide, and a communication medium resembling Usenet. A Fire Upon the Deep won the Hugo Award in 1993, sharing it with Doomsday Book by Connie Willis. This series contains a lot of wonderfully thought out and dramatic alien culture.

Moving along with my nutrition supplements deep dive (starting with the S category), I found a few interesting ones. One of the more interesting plant supplements is called Thunder God vine. Don't let the name scare you. This NIH article gives you detailed information about what it's good for. What about tribulus terrestris? This one failed to deliver what it promised, according to PubMed and NIH studies.  This NIH reference had a lot to say about Turmeric, but it wasn't the miracle supplement that I had hoped it would be. Valarian root, on the other hand, does seem to have a mild calming effect, according to this NIH article. Here is the NIH Fact sheet on zinc and cold virus symptoms. Last but not least, there is a Chinese herbal medicine that has recently fascinated scientists and it is called Gastrodin. This NIH study examined metadata regarding potential benefits to people with Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and Alzheimer's disease. If you wish to ask any questions about these supplements or want to suggest topics for future episodes, feel free to contact me on my website contact page, Healing outside the box.com.

If YOU suffer from chronic anxiety all is not lost. As somebody who has ran the gauntlet myself I hope to offer some support to those who feel their anxiety is out of control. This episode hopes to offer a little support that things will change as well as providing a little background to anxiety, the brain and some of its mechanisms - as well as a discussion on one of my favourite anti anxiety teas. Thanks for listening :)

Dr Frank Shallenberger says, “Most dementia is due to low thyroid!” Don't accept forgetfulness as normal aging. “Not one cell in your body can do anything without thyroid.” The major chemicals in the brain control our moods, emotions and how we feel. When the brain is not functioning to it's fullest, it can cause problems for the entire body. Neurotransmitter ‘breakdown' can be cured in 6 – 9 months with Amino Acids, he says. Consider also DHEA and Cortisol, and the sex hormones, plus Seretonin and Estrogen, and how they affect one another. Neurotransmitters need the Vit B's. And perhaps Seretonin, Dopamine, Gaba and Endorphines. Alternatives for good sleep include: Valarian root, Niacinamide, Melatonin and St John's Wort. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chris-harvey1/message

I need to start off by saying thank you to my very cool brother in law, Peter for becoming a show patron. By being a patron he get’s exclusive access to what I’m working on in the background, research material and the like. And Peter’s dollar a month helps me pay the bills for the podcast as well as purchase more research material for me to consume, digest and turn into more episodes.So, Peter, thank you.I need to give another thank you to Ben at the Thugs and Miracles podcast, he gave me a most excellent and thoughtful shoutout in his last episode. As I was going through my rolodex of potential “Almost Episode” candidates, I was struggling to find something a little bit lighter that might bring a smile to all our faces. Judging by my line up, I seem to be naturally drawn to the macabre: slavery, genocide, rebellion, cannibalism are all reoccurring themes. But I found one that I think will work. It has a humorous element to it and since it’s about a Roman emperor, it pairs nicely with my biography on Arminius which was released earlier this month. In a way it also transitions into the subject of next month’s episode too, but stay tuned for more on that.So now, for the latest Almost Episode: The Emperor Plays Chicken.

To be blunt, it hasn't been a great summer for Hollywood. While 2017 has seen genre success with films like Kong: Skull Island, Logan, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Get Out, Split and, of course, Wonder Woman and some little film about a clown, the summer months are supposed to be where Hollywood's blockbusters live, and yet the list of big budget genre films that have crashed and burned is not at all short. Valarian and the City of a Thousand Planets, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, The Dark Tower, Alien: Covenant, The Mummy, Transformers: The Last Knight, Life, Ghost in the Shell... all these and more cost $100's of millions to make and promote, only to see audiences stay away in droves. The studios are pointing to the critics and sites like Rotten Tomatoes and blaming them for poisoning the public on these big-budget, big-name flops, but are they the real culprits here? This week Mr. Harvey takes a look and asks: Bad reviews, or bad movies?

In today's episode of Film Rating Review, I discuss Valarian and a City of a Thousand Planets, a movie that has about a thousand mixed reviews out there. I also discuss The Fifth Element because...well, can you discuss anything meaningful without mentioning The Fifth Element...?
