Is it dangerous that the world is run by irrational, emotional humans? Should we turn our culture into a Vulcan culture? Should we teach kids critical thinking and force politicians to listen to science? Or even, as some people have suggested, have scientists run the country?
Or is our natural, human way of doing things the best way? And why should we trust scientists to get things right when they are just as illogical and human as the rest of us?
Maybe we should use our human emotions to help the world. Make utopian movies and songs and get people to be optimistic and hopeful about the future.
Come to GeekSpeak on Saturday at noon SLT and discuss how to change the world for the better. Bring a whiteboard and your friends!
IM Vulcan Viper, who teaches a meditation class every Wednesday in the GeekSpeak auditorium, if you have ideas for new subjects.
