knapplc Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Took this idea from Reddit. Here's the concept: Aliens have contacted Earth. They request one person to represent mankind in talks between our species. Who do we nominate? Some answers from the Reddit thread: David Attenborough Keanu Reeves Sigourney Weaver Danny DeVito Karl Pilkington Jeff Goldblum Jimmy Carter Terry Crews Barack Obama Morgan Freeman Neil DeGrasse Tyson Joe Rogan Stephen Fry Ryan Reynolds Gordon Ramsay Robert Downey, Jr. Elon Musk Donald Trump Names with a strikethrough have been nominated. Please choose another name. HERE'S HOW THIS THREAD WORKS: You pick a name from the above list, or choose someone else. We all vote for those names with upvotes. You can vote for more than one person. After a week, I'll make a poll with the top ten vote-getters as chosen by upvotes in this thread. We'll all vote. It will be binding. Have fun. EDIT - if someone has been nominated, please choose someone else for your post 2 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 I'll choose someone probably nobody else will, but I love his series with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, An Idiot Abroad and The Moaning of Life: Karl Pilkington 1 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Elon would probably have the best ability to pragmatically be able to understand how best to communicate ideas the fastest. 6 1 Quote Link to comment
RedSavage Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Neil DeGrasse Tyson, you know, because space and stuff 7 1 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Interesting list. I didn't LOL until I got to Terry Crews (not that his is necessarily the funniest) but he always makes me laugh. @GSG smartly took the homer pick so now it feels weird to go with Tom Osborne. So my pick is..... Will Smith 3 1 Quote Link to comment
I AM FOOT FOOT Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Elon would be the obvious choice. Quote Link to comment

commando Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 my top 2 are already picked. and out of the rest of the list i guess i would choose obama. he is well spoken and can be very diplomatic. first contact would require those qualities. 2 2 Quote Link to comment
sho Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Jim Nye With his aerospace background, he may have a better understanding of how their ships work and help humanity recreate it and his intellectual curiosity would lead to some interesting 'communication' between man and alien. 3 Quote Link to comment
