MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report) – Scientists have discovered a powerful new strain of fact-resistant humans who are threatening the ability of Earth to sustain life, a sobering new study reports.
The research, conducted by the University of Minnesota, identifies a virulent strain of humans who are virtually immune to any form of verifiable knowledge, leaving scientists at a loss as to how to combat them.

If this is supposed to be satire; why does it "feel" so right-on?
It seem that increasingly people simply refuse to actually "look" at the reality, the facts, the real world data, and come up with some barely related "notion" of their own...
I guess I'm just some relic of the ancient past; I rely on science, and data for everything.

While reaffirming the gloomy assessments of the study, Logsdon held out hope that the threat of fact-resistant humans could be mitigated in the future. “Our research is very preliminary, but it’s possible that they will become more receptive to facts once they are in an environment without food, water, or oxygen,” he said.

At least they put a positive spin on it....

I'm surprised Mr. Tyson visualizes science as a "thing" inferring truth. I believe what he wanted to say is:
"The good thing about scientists is they determine what truth is and then they ignore everything else."
Scientific hypothesis are wrong far more than they are right. Settled science is when the scientific process is corrupted and becomes a meme. These memes and their operatives are enemies of science.

The same scientists rammed the theory of relativity down the publics throats and when has that ever been proven. Verified means conclusively proven. That hasn't happened. If that theory is wrong it means the speed of light isn't limited to C.

sadly...Science doesn't always rely on data like yourself.
Models are a new craze that's sweeping the world.

Incredible claims require incredible proof. So far your just mouthing replies angled with personnel innuendo. Your the typical mouth who will be a debunker or skeptic, you cant offer any real data only slingy insults. So the theory of relativity its the bigger daddy of unverified science. The floor is now all yours genius to prove its fact.
