How accurate is pic related? Will the universe eventually wake up, and become saturated with intelligent processes and knowledge? Will humanity ever achieve a Type 4 civilization and beyond?

it's oversimplifying, generalizing, and the scale is completely fucked up

We'll be long dead by type 2, probably succeeded by some far more intelligent and chemically/biologically durable species

technology is just manipulation of an environment, the driving force of evolution

oy vey.. evolution..
please don't sell your soul

Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.

Nobody from 1500 could have predicted shit about 2018 yet here we are smugly mapping out the future of our race and the universe like it’s so simple now.

Despite what /sci/brainlets are saying, this is actually very likely. We will try and convert the matter of the universe, and nigh, even the fabric and metric of space-time into computronium.

Hell, someone has probably done it for us! Even if they haven't, read Asimov's The Last Question and you'll see what I'm talking about...

This is less about "fighting" entropy and more about making the universe conscious, or rather, that it may be already due to someone else's efforts, anon.

Nature doesn't care what you use. At all. At all. More and fitter offspring = more of you. That's the whole deal. Anything else is mystical thinking.
