The East Mars Company

It would have been a bold Englishman to say as the criminals were being ‘transported’ by the boatload to Australia that one day that puny colony, that wild untamed land that was so tough on Her inhabitants, would declare independence from the Crown and well… Ok I’ll admit, they basically haven’t done anything since, but my point is that when we colonise Mars and set our first bases there few will be able to imagine a future where Mars declares independence from Mother Earth. Where will She get her supplies? How will they ever train enough judges to run a supreme court?

Nowhere in the rules of a job interview is the panel expected to sit silently while two experts argue using a selection of extremely highly paid witnesses and a demonstration of my ability to pass a series of pre-prepared exam style questions to prove whether or not I’m qualified. After witnessing this farce, and based only on that evidence alone the panel is forced to choose whether or not to hire me. Sounds ridiculous right? Let’s explore why that seems so insane and why it’s exactly what our jury system represents. Continue reading →
