It will be about humanities transition into a "type one civilization," which is extremely important before we reach out into the cosmos. That said, it'll only work out if we all come together. Using what is known as the Kardashev scale as a basis with modern scientific interpretations such as those by Dr. Michio Kaku, the topic will focus on an anthropological understanding of how humanities interconnectedness will either make us or break us. Placing a focus on the first major aspects of our society reaching type one status. Our communication systems, being English and the Internet. Looking at the pros and cons of that too.


My name is Dale Winslow, I'm an undergrad at UMaine, and I am from Presque Isle, Maine. I am an educational YouTuber with over 93,000 subscribers and 5 million views. My YouTube channel is named "Think Fact" and it is there where I discuss complex questions typically dealing with the human experience. I mainly focus around Anthropological topics discussing questions like (e.g.) "Who Own's English?" or "Are We The Only Humans?" while occasionally making videos that discuss obscure information that I have come across in my research. Personally, I love to challenge myself by thinking about questions people don't often ask or get an answer for. As a result, I find myself moving into the realm of making videos over big and complex questions that I'm really interested in sharing!
