Why Spock Would be the Worst Salesman in the World
You know Spock from Star Trek?
He’s the (mostly) levelheaded first officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
If you don’t know anything about the series, Spock is from the planet Vulcan. Vulcans are known as the preeminent logicians in the Star Trek universe. They view emotions as a weakness, and their lives resemble a series of deliberate “chess moves.”
Each move is calculated six or seven steps in advance; each decision is mulled over to make sure it’s the most rational one.
It’s cool to watch Spock calculate the statistical probability of different possible outcomes in his mind. The dude is a like a living, breathing computer.
