Vulcans (Enterprise spoiler) (was my physics teacher)

Which reminds me, on Enterprise they have some non-vegan vulcans

now. Unlike the logical ones these are radicals who are trying to balance

their emotions with their logical side, rather than repress them. And they

have no problem with eating meat.

 

In other words

 

* Logical = vegan

* Emotional = eats meat

 

Kind of the opposite of what you would expect.

Dr Ian might disagree and see it the other way round (ISTR a previous

conversation on this subject).

Doesn't make much sense to farm and eat in the least efficient way (meat),

so I can see veganism might be logical, more efficient use of land.

Meat-eaters generally eat meat because they like it, it tastes good to them,

and that is emotional. They don't do it because it is logical or good for

them or a good way of feeding the planet.

Damn, I think I'm starting to agree with what I remember Ian saying on this,

although I started out thinking it was the way you would expect according to

you.

I'm definitely an emotionally-inclined vegan myself tho' so can see both

sides.

I was hesitant at suggesting that it being vegan is not logical when

obviously there are very logical arguments for it. The thing about these

'new' Vulcans though is that they are emotional in addition to being

logical, so they wouldn't reject such arguments.

Well it doesn't have to be one or the other, being vegan IS logical (even

if just because of the arguments against cruelty) but I can't see how

someone who emotional could reject those logical arguments, when it should

reinforce them.

 

Oh well, at least they aren't real.
