Article Description

Former President Barack Obama generated headlines when he was asked by podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen about the existence of aliens and said, “They’re real.” Mr. Obama issued a clarification the next day: “Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there. But […] I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us.” If you believe aliens exist, you’ll focus on the “odds are good” part of his explanation. If you don’t believe aliens exist, you’ll focus on the “no evidence” part. In other words, we tend to believe what we believe and interpret the facts accordingly. This is a fact of enormous relevance to the challenges we face today.
