Now always found it fun pondering on how the future might be like and recently I have come across The futurist Michio Kaku who have written quite a phew books on the the subject however I am somewhat skeptical about some of his claims, Do you think he knows what he is talking about Or is he just trying to please The star trek fans like myself.

He's not a good skeptic, and a bit of a self promoter. Listen to his appearance on the SGU podcast a coupla years ago and you'll know what I mean.
He's also not really a futurist, he's a string theorist...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I've seen a few things he's been in and mostly go away thinking he is full of shit. He has wild speculative rides of fantasy based on very little. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

He's a fucking idiot and I'm considerably smarter than him by a long shot.
Don't care about his qualifications, don't care if he is a highly qualified physicist . Don't care about his I.Q. Don't care about his knowledge or education. Anyone who thinks that Quantum Indeterminism could ever logically legitimize Metaphysical Libertarian Free-Will is a fucking moron. Period. 
Does he really think that?
Yeah... or he's an outright liar.

Yeah..he seems like someone who is supremely well-versed in a specific area, but then extrapolates outside of that area into some pretty wild flights of fancy that he has no way to support.
