The Kardashev scale now has an anthem.
From fire to orbit to stars, civilization keeps learning to command more energy.
The next frontier is not paralysis.
It is becoming wise enough to go faster.

Patriziermuße now has a soundtrack.
When the Singularity automates work, some will use liberated time for grand challenges.
Others will use it for wholesome, old-money leisure with no economic output.
Theme music for aesthetic uselessness.

New word for the Singularity:
Patriziermuße
pat-REE-tsee-er MOO-suh
noun
Wholesome, old-money leisure with no economic output.
From German Patrizier “patrician” Muße “cultivated leisure.”
Usage: “After work was automated, he devoted himself to patriziermuße: opera, rowing, private tennis, and chess under oil portraits.”
Not laziness. Aesthetic uselessness.
