I've been thinking of this as a sci-fi concept recently. On Star Trek all the other races have this singular defining trait, vulcans are logical, klingons are warriors, ferengi are greedy. The defining trait of humans is going against their natural impulses. We evolved from violent savage apes yet strive toward peace. Some choose veganism. Others choose celibacy.
- Fricken 9y agoWasn't Captain Kirk the one always going with his gut instinct? The Vulcans were once an extremely emotional and violent race. Their logical traits are the result of generations of disciplined mastery over their natural impulses.
- qbrass 9y agoMcCoy was usually the one making the emotional appeal to the captain for the audience's sake. And humans in general were the emotional ones. However, Kirk was supposed to be the moderate one that didn't give-way to pure logic or emotion and find the best solution somewhere in between. Which was the moral of the story of the week.
