4merper4mer Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The real hippy Dr. Spock vs. Mr. Spock from Star Trek. One was a real guy with widely accepted bad ideas and one was a TV character also with widely accepted bad ideas. Whose ideas were worse and whose did more damage in your humble opinion?

Taro T Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 ...Which timeline we talking about here when it comes to Mr. Spock? Better question. Why didn't Mr. Spock get a doctorate? Vulcans live ridiculously long lives & the guy was brilliant. Shouldn't he have gotten the PhD before joining Starfleet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't he have gotten the PhD before joining Starfleet? He rejected the Vulcan Academy for Starfleet Academy, which doesn't offer any graduate programs. And while he was working on a correspondence course while XO of the Enterprise, the course was cancelled after three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured he could've gotten into his mother's alma mater back on Earth to doubly piss off dear old dad prior to hitting up SFA. Bummer about U of Phoenix finally closing down. And how did he not get any honorary degrees either. Has to be speciesism. Friggin' futuristic specieists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 That far into the future, they probably hand out participation doctorate degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 ...Which timeline we talking about here when it comes to Mr. Spock? Basically could be any of them as his harmful philosophies were pretty consistent but for this thread let's go with the TV show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azalin Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Dr Spock was far worse, because his wrote the ridiculous crap that parents used to raise baby boomers - or as Pete Townsend would say, "my generation". Mr Spock actually had a doctoral degree which was visibly evident to literally everyone. The blue shirt. Not only were the most intelligent and highly educated members of the Enterprise crew given the blue shirt designation, it also imparted immortality. How many crew members can anyone name from the original series that died while wearing the blue shirt? Who other than the blue-shirts were more frequently engaged in debate? Any official Spock canon only applies to Nimoy-Spock, and not to that mewling homunculus appearing in the new movies.

Spock's "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...or the one"....is a big load of crap and probably known by far more people that know anything the hippy guy wrote.

And notice that when he died, Spock was wearing a red uniform. Blue shirt = immortality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
