“One problem with politics is that it is a zero sum game, i.e. politici...” — Michio Kaku Quote

“One problem with politics is that it is a zero sum game, i.e. politicians argue how to cut the pie smaller and smaller, by reshuffling pieces of the pie. I think this is destructive. Instead, we should be creating a bigger pie, i.e. funding the science that is the source of all our prosperity. Science is not a zero sum game.”

“Now, we used to think the brain was like a computer. But now, we realize that's not true. There's no programming of the brain. There's no Windows. And we think the brain is more like a large corporation. Because think of the unconscious mind. In a corporation, you have subdivisions which operate independently of the main office.”

“In science, nothing is ever 100% proven.”

“We're in 'Jurassic Park' territory. If we go to the zoo in the future, we'll have zoos for extinct animals.”

“No matter how beautiful the theory, one irritating fact can dismiss the entire formulism, so it has to be proven.”

“It's inevitable that we'll have some form of designer children, fueled not just by the science but by parents' hard-wired desire to give their children every advantage.”

“To argue that voting is a waste of time or useless is to participate in your own powerlessness.”

“But does that mean that war and violence are inevitable? I would argue not because we have also evolved this amazingly sophisticated intellect, and we are capable of controlling our innate behavior a lot of the time.”

“I argue that the Talmud is about the constant struggle to understand.”

“I would argue that one of the issues which the public should be much more emphatic about with all politicians... is patronage, appointing people to high positions because they supported your campaign or helped you raise money.”

“I think I could argue that the press has more impact on politics than corporations.”

“I started when I was three, and on some courses they wouldn't let me play because they said I was too little. They wouldn't accept that a child could play. So my parents had to argue at times with some people at golf courses so I could.”
