I will write a review about this interesting book when I have a bit more time, but for now you can find a little more about the book from a Fresh Air interview with the author Jonah Lehrer:

Could have been ideal to use Vulcan's decision making system based on pure logics :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Actually Mr. Lehrer's book argues (based on neuropsychological research), that humans (not Vulcans :mrgreen: ) are very bad at working with logic.

Jonah Lehrer is still not even 30 years old and studied English at Oxford (!) as a Rhodes Scholar. :( :speechless002:

Ahh, I read English at Oxford... Sounds like a line from "An Education"... :lol:

We humans ARE probably very bad at logics. Let's go and mix with Vulcans! .. if we can find one as cool as Spock, that is. Otherwise I choose chocolate flavour out of those three featured on the book cover :mrgreen:

Me TOO! :evil:

I wouldn't mind breeding with Spock or any other Vulcan as cute as he is (both the Leonard Nemoy version and the current version are cute). :mrgreen:

Aye, there is 'mixing' on more innocent terms than specific breeding activities :mrgreen: We might rub off traces of logics by enjoying drinks with them on company expenses :mrgreen:

You are right. I was wrong.

Maybe it is free for Vulcans. :-)
