I think you miss the point of Star Trek, it, even more than most SF, isn't "really" about the future fictional or otherwise -- it is using the tropes of SF to make commentary on our society through analogy. That being said, I'm not sure the OP recognizes that Vulcans aren't entirely presented positively on the show -- they are generally viewed as missing part of life with their lack of emotions.
- dayyan 1mo agoToo many words. It's cool and fiction is how we stress-test ideas before they become policy.
- krapp 1mo agoNo one on Star Trek was "stress-testing" anything of the sort. Stress-testing only works in reality, where the stresses are also real, or even in a simulation of reality. Star Trek is neither, it's just fantasy. It doesn't test anything.
