Earth needs a virtual country: #Rationalia, with a one-line Constitution: All policy shall be based on the weight of evidence

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?)

Three moderators?! Wow.

It's, like, a tripod...

We're, like, balanced and shit...

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

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...

The 3 current moderators of Rationalia shall be the triumvirate which rules the Earth.

but the member of the Rationalia Association shall be their advisory council

I doubt too many people around here would "like" policies based on evidence......

[NineBerry]

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.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is secretly Galaxian?

Dear Ratz:

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