Don't go near that elevator - that's just what they want us to do... trap us in a steel box and take us down to the basement.

We might live in a zoo for aliens, Neil deGrasse Tyson says, and that’s why Brexit and 'weird politics' are happening


Our planet could be a zoo created by aliens who want to watch stupid humans, according to Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Humanity’s alien keepers could even be inflicting our “weird politics” – the ongoing crisis of Brexit and the American election – onto us as a way of keeping themselves entertained, according to the famous astrophysicist.

Mr Tyson said that he is sceptical that humanity will ever be able to make contact with intelligent life. But we might already have done so – and rather than choosing to destroy us, as many scientists expect, they might have just shut us away without our knowing it.

(continued, he's firing on all cylinders today - someone spiked his lemonade?) :read:

And Seth, when Rationalia rules, the black helicopters are coming for real... :Jack:

Rachel will be assault group leader (very fetching in a form-hugging black leather combat outfit...)

Brian will pilot the lead helicopter (it's a doddle, Brian, I tell you...)

I shall be waiting at the interrogation centre, sipping icy-cold gin, waiting for Exi (my lead interrogator) to get his head together...

I doubt too many people around here would "like" policies based on evidence......
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Problem is that there a lot of questions in life that cannot be answered based on evidence. Questions of ethics and questions of balancing advantages and disadvantages of certain policies between different groups and individuals. Then there is no mechanism to find 100% scientific evidence. Sure, we have enough data to conclude that evolution is a valid scientific theory, but when we go down into details, scientific certainty vanishes. Politics is a lot about details.

Dear Ratz:

Dr. N. DeGrasse Tyson has stolen your name, and possibly other things.
