Send us a textNobody's right if everybody's wrong, in the words of the Buffalo Springfield song.  In today's world it is difficult for an Earthling of a scientific bent to choose who or what to support in the political arena, when ecnarongi (i.e, ignorance in reverse, "knowing" that which is not true) prevails on all sides.In this episode, Rik from Planet Vulcan argues that better education of young Earthlings must take place before political participation on your planet can be considered meaningful.  Earthlings must root out medievalist ways of thinking based on intelligent design, and start inculcating modern ways of thinking based on natural evolution before meaningful political discourse will ever be possible.Please do not despair, however, if it seems to you that political action is our only hope, because there is much more going on outside of what we might call the political realm than you might have yet realized.  Many Earthlings believe that what happens in the political arena is central to civilized existence, but in truth politics is more of a sideshow - "Real Politicians of Washington DC" in the words of Wait-But-Why Blogger Tim Urban.  The MAIN attractions are scientific discovery, technological innovation, free enterprise in production and commerce, and a strict regard for the human rights to life, liberty and property.
