        @neiltyson Laudable, but what about disputes in the conclusions to be reached by said evidence?

        @AggroWill @neiltyson It seems we have similar questions about Rationalia. Perhaps it is only an equation with a continuum of solutions?

        @AggroWill @neiltyson Like, you set the ultimate goal to be "survival of human life on Earth", you can put it through the policy-equations?

        @AggroWill @neiltyson A government that is a super-computer that requires and will never receive input to determine it's policies? Impotent?

        .@neiltyson I dunno about your theory, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, "Rationalia" sounds like a rash you get on your genitalia.

        @neiltyson That would be great, except that science is performed by humans. Who are not rational and unbiased. See: IQ tests and racism.

        @Er0_0 @neiltyson Hey, sister, just because the evidence makes you sad doesn't make it wrong.

        @RoseRedSnoWhite @neiltyson This is very true, however, often "evidence" *is* wrong.

        @Er0_0 @neiltyson Sure it is. And the fact that it correlates to GDP per capita is just a cruel cosmic coincidence.pic.twitter.com/Va93rivvDA

        @RoseRedSnoWhite @neiltyson I suspect that low IQ and low GDP/worker have same root cause though.

        @Er0_0 @neiltyson Oh! Oh! Is the root cause institutionalized racism?
