<These debates seem almost as silly as the things we go through on the Current Events and Offtopic boards, with one difference. Once folks get to Mars there will be the answers to these problems found.

Our goofiness has no answers.



You said a mouthful there. If political science was actually treated like a science, with objectivity mattering more than opinions, things would probably work a little more smoothly. Imagine if the value of pi were open to a vote.

On the other hand, I think the Space Board proves that people's opinions, if set hard enough, can override observation and logic, just like in politics.

Our goofiness does have answers. It's just that nobody wants to hear them.
