Whats so brutal is here is a guy who's all in with multiverse theory, yet he poses to the host, "why is our universe not ugly, why is it so ideal" when he knows the answer lies in multiverse that there is an infinite number of universes, some exist for millionths of a second, some for trillions, and laws are different from one to the next. So of course where life exists in these universes it will have seemed like fine tuning.
This is really low level thinking on Kaku's part which is what I've always dreaded about him, he seems to have these bouts of cognitive dissonance when it comes to these types of questions.
This is like me suggesting a creator because the earth is in the habitable zone.... Obviously we had to evolve in this spot in order to evolve and then be here to question how we got here, the same argument is of course there for multiverse and its staggering how he's missing that.

I haven't watched the video but I believe we can't come to an answer about god through our thoughts or arguing about it. When he says "why is our universe not ugly, why is it so ideal", I don't take it as an argument for god's existence, more an appeal to experience awe.
