Karbashewski 

A race made up of only the most awesome people history has ever known. Karbashewski's are the best at everything, including being awesome. Karbashewski's are capable of flying, causing peoples faces to melt with their awesomeness, performing open heart surgery on themselves, speaking french in russian, giving themselves tattoos on their backs while playing chess against two chinese kids, and making the best perogies in the world.

warning, over exposure to a Karbashewski may result in; awesomeness overload, face meltation, learning french in russian.... accidentily, the desire to fight a rhinoceros because that's what the Karbashewski's do, death, accindental death, unaccidental death, certain death, timely death, untimely death, uncertain death, leathal weapon 1 2 and 3, John McClane, and Mel Gibson.
guy1: whoa!!! did that guy just blow up that bulding by looking at it!?

guy2: yeah, he's a Karbashewski.

kardashevism 

The strong belief that the gods are humanoid extraterrestrials who were so technologically advanced that they scientifically became concious holograms living in their own matrix (simulated dimension powered by the stars) and could hack into other's minds or that the point in life is to become such a being by inspiring humanity to reach type 5 + civilization, on The Kardashev Scale.

(Very similar to my definition of transcendentalism. Please read it).
'The scientist laughed, 'That's just pseudoscience & scientism', but the Kardashev scale theorist retorted, 'No it's Kardashevism: The science & spirituality of the future.'

Kardashevist

Someone who strongly believes that the gods are humanoid extraterrestrials who were so technologically advanced that they scientifically became concious holograms living in their own matrix (simulated dimension powered by the stars) and could hack into other's minds or that the point in life is to become such a being by inspiring humanity to reach type 5 + civilization, on The Kardashev Scale.

Kardashev Scale

A theoretical framework for measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the total amount of energy it can harness and utilize. Proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964, the original scale had three types: Planetary (Type I), Stellar (Type II), and Galactic (Type III). It’s less about culture or philosophy and more about raw, cosmic-scale power management. The scale is logarithmic; each step represents an increase of energy control by a factor of billions. It's the go-to yardstick for sci-fi world-building and serious SETI research, framing humanity's place in the universe as currently a pathetic Type 0.7.
Kardashev Scale Example: When a sci-fi author says a species is a Kardashev Type II, you instantly know they build Dyson Spheres and use their sun as a personal battery pack. Humanity, still squabbling over fossil fuels and barely tapping planetary geothermal and solar, is still crawling toward Type I, putting our entire history into humbling perspective.

Kardashevian Mechanics

The branch of mega-engineering and physics concerned with the practical construction, stabilization, and operation of the unimaginably vast structures and energy systems required by high-level Kardashev civilizations. It's the "nuts and bolts" of godlike power: the math for stabilizing a rotating ringworld, the materials science for a Dyson Sphere's solar-collector panels, or the orbital dynamics for moving stars. This is the applied engineering manual for beings who treat planets as LEGO bricks and stars as furnaces.
Example: The calculations needed to prevent a Matrioshka Brain (a nested series of Dyson Spheres) from collapsing into its star under gravity and radiation pressure, or the logistics of using gravitational lensing to focus multiple stars' energy onto a single point for a project, are problems of Kardashevian Mechanics.

Kardashevian Technologies

The specific tools, energy sources, and infrastructures employed by civilizations operating at Kardashev-scale levels. These are not just bigger versions of our tech; they are qualitatively different concepts. Think star-lifting equipment to mine a sun's hydrogen, spacetime-altering engines for moving solar systems, or quantum-consciousness networks spanning a galaxy. The technology ceases to be something you hold and becomes an environment you live within, often blurring the line between a machine and a natural cosmic phenomenon.
Kardashevian Technologies Example: A Shkadov Thruster—a stellar engine that uses a giant mirror to turn an entire star into a rocket for moving a solar system through space—is a quintessential Kardashevian Technology. It's a tool, but its "handle" is a star and its "power cord" is gravity itself.
