A few weeks ago we discussed what life would be like if we were all Ferengi. This week let’s try to imagine what the world would be like if we were all Vulcans. All emotions are suppressed, ruled by logic and reason only.
Vulcans seem to be ideally suited to science, with all questions being decided on the basis of evidence and logic. Would science progress faster if we were Vulcans? With fewer sidetracks and dead ends? Would we over-engineer the planet perhaps?
Would we still sing songs and make music or art? Would we play games? Would we be happy? Can a Vulcan ever be really happy?
Come to GeekSpeak this Saturday at noon SLT and live like a Vulcan for a while. Since the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, bring all your friends!
