Very nice. and great hearing from you! I think I am on the same page with you. It seems like in the past i extended the 'Kardashev' scale beyond what they were thinking. And then I watching a video with Michio Kaku, where he was saying he got an argument with a 6th grader who insisted on more types, and he was like, 'kid, i am physicist, there's only three type, planet, solar, and galactic,' to which the kid responded, "and the universe, and the multiverse...' that kid should have got some bigger credit than just being a 6 grader! Now if you google the scales, there's like 9 types. Type nine harness the power of the hyperverse?
so, yeah, I think you and I are on the same page. Because anyone that is working at that scale would seem like Gods, by definition, would know us intimately, and could control the universe as if it were nothing more than a simulation!
