FTR my feelings about the #KardashevScale are pretty much the same as about the #FermiParadox: As fictional constructs, I guess they're fine, but neither really makes much sense when you step outside paradigm-boundaries of modern humans.

People take them so seriously, though.

Used to be on a 'worldbuilding' group on FB & boy howdy some dudes (always dudes) there were OBSESSED with #KardashevScale ranking. But in this deeply weird way - like, "my WiP has a K5 [sic*] civilization - what kinds of clothes should they wear?"

I'm pretty sure a "#Kardsashev 5" civilization is gonna be beyond our ability to comprehend. Hell, that's probably true of K2.

*this would inevitably generate utterly epic 'well actually' subthreads nitpicking the vagaries of the Kardashev Scale.
