@teslaownerssv: Elon Musk on humanity's ultimate purpose. "Maybe the purpose of humanity is to give birth to a star mind, a sentient sun." Musk says humanity's next step could be learning to harness the enormous power of the Sun and turn it into intelligence. He references physicist Nikolai Kardashev, who proposed measuring civilizations by how much energy they can harness: • Type I — the energy of an entire planet • Type II — the energy of an entire star • Type III — the energy of an entire galaxy Musk believes this is where civilization is heading. Harness the Sun. Turn that energy into computation. And eventually create intelligence on a scale we've never seen before. "That's what's going to happen. And we're going to do it."
