Michio Kaku is the man who planted the seeds in my mind for my fascination and love of physics. My first exposure to him was on the program "Big Thinkers" on the network ZDtv (later known as TechTV), back in the mid 1990's. I've read everything I could get my hands on that he had anything to do with ever since.

Of course, I can't in all fairness give him full credit for my "intellectual awakening"; I think it is more likely that he was just in the right place at the right time. He got lucky. But even knowing that, there lingers quite a bit of fondnes for having my sense of wonder ignighted by his ideas.

So, of course later, when I found out that he was getting involved in the Singularity movement (this film touches upon that), you could say my hardon hasn't subsided since.

Your "hardon?"

Yeah, I first found Michio on the Screen Savers being interviewed by Leo Leporte. I do recall seeing the Big Thinker episodes as well. He's a fascinating man and always opens new avenues for me.

Freudian slip?

Of, course I'm just being silly.
But seriously, for Michio Kaku, and Ray Kurzweil, two individuals for whom my respect for each independently approaches a kind of singularity in and of itself, to begin to come togther ideologically... That's like some kind of Epic Level Geek Porn right there.
