I've always found the Kardashev scale to be kind of silly. It starts off with an extremely ambitious goal, and then goes up two more huge steps from there. To me it always seemed like a classification system that doesn't fully understand the scale it is trying to use. Or one that assumes exponential unbounded growth as a starting point. The cube square law is one that catches a lot of Sci-Fi authors.
