Let us all get to know each other, atheists. I'll start.
I am a Indian on Earth, a science student and an atheist. From my childhood I was interested in science and ceased being religious when I realized how ...

The third decree states that third-tier citizenship shall only be given to citizens who vote in favour of the Declaration and Constitution. Is this not a violation of democracy? It's not like the rights of specifically Hilary Clinton voters were taken away.

That seems fair. Thanks Zahira and Jason. One thing that might cause an issue, as I've said before, is the unequal proportion of people of different Earth nationalities on Asgardia. The same distribution may be projected onto the rules, where the views of one community are overlooked in favour of ...

Just as in current real elections or voting processes, the same issues apply. During this time before final voting the documents will be released for review and discussion. All concerns will be reviewed. This process is not taken lightly and is the best way for the community to voice their ...

Would the new Asgardian calender not have any effect on space science observation (example: constellations, meteor showers, comet periodicity, eclipses)? Although having an entire new month called Asgard would have a uniqueness of its own.

@MateXon, I was referring to the change in Earth based dates for periodic events. Say, the Perseids. On Earth they begin in mid-to- late July. In Asgardia, they'd being in mid-to late Asgard. Imagine how fun would it be for astronomers back home to communicate with Asgardia, "Earth to Asgardia, ...

**UtkarshC99**: >Would the new Asgardian calender not have any effect on space science observation (example: constellations, meteor showers, comet periodicity, eclipses)? No, the lenght of day remains unaltered. This calendar is merely changing how much days a months have, which has no effect in astronomical observations.

> Do we have more direct channels to post our concerns? Not really. I agree that shifting to a time system that doesn't rely on seasons or religious events would make more sense for a space-borne nation. One that uses metrics and precision to measure time rather than the angle ...

I didn't know where to put this, and this is the only section I could think of that would get proper opinions. Would it be a nice idea if Asgardia were to collab with SpaceX for funding, manpower and tech? Elon is an ambitious man, he'd really want to be ...

I'd also like to see Asgardia create some real estates in space with The Gateway Foundation (https://gatewayspaceport.com) space station SpaceX Starships and Adastrarocket VASIMR thrusters for station keeping; and eventually other space stations always in transit as interplanetary transport between Earth and Mars.

Hi there, fellow Asgardians. I am a student from India, who not long ago applied for citizenship to Asgardia, after having learnt about it from the Facebook page. I am a vocal advocate of space travel and colonization among my friends and family, and I believe all Asgardians are intellectual ...

Most of your questions I can not answer, but your last one I can most Earth bound nations freely allow their citizens to migrate where everr and when ever they choose. No government actually has any say in the matter although, nations like North Korea will forcibly retrieve any citizen ...

I would not say that our biological drive to survive is necessarily a bad thing and automatically leads to selfishness.
First off, the biological survival instinct might be felt the most pressing on a personal level, but it actually works on a wider level and always has. In many species, being tend to care for their family. They might support siblings even though it would not help spread the individuals genes, but still the family's ones, which are similar enough. The desire to spread ones genes has been a successful goal for biological evolution, since it automatically helped those spread, that are particularly good at that.
However, humanity has long since transcended past that. We moved from biological evolution to a technological one. It does not matter who is the strongest, it barely even matters who reproduces. Spreading knowledge and tools has become the much more important factor in ensuring the survival of the species as a whole. And this still gives us purpose, no matter how the universe was created and no matter if there was a 'gardener' involved or not. While each individual can always find their own purpose, we can always offer the purpose of trying to advance our horizon, expanding our knowledge for those, that do not believe yet seek a purpose.
And this is why I am agnostic. I do not think it matters whether you have a given faith or not, you can still have your own purpose, ethics and work with others for a common goal.
