His human blood is always in danger of letting down his striving for unemotional clarity. In an early episode, Spock goes on the course, but fails it because he feels a vestigial stirring of emotion for something from the V'Ger Entity (but let us not go down that murky galactic path.) The point about Spock is that he's half-Vulcan, the offspring of a human schoolteacher called Amanda Grayson, and a Vulcan father, Sarek. Some Vulcans strive to eliminate all emotions from their make-up by undergoing the Kohlinar discipline, a purging of all feelings, learned at the feet of the Vulcan masters. Clearly this is something earthlings should emulate, especially when caught in the current half-hour traffic jam around Parliament Square. They have to police their natural feelings by superhuman mind control. Like certain Glaswegians, they can move from icy calm to homicidal rage in seconds.

Their natural disposition, we learn in the original TV series, is erratic, volatile and quick to anger. They are far too emotional for their own good.
The first thing to know about Vulcans is that they're not natural paragons of emotionless logic. Their unpleasant demeanour makes them ideally suited to such employment." They generally become bureaucrats in the galactic government. In Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the Guide defines the Vogon race with dismissive curtness: "Vogons are extremely ugly, extremely officious and generally not much fun to be around.
HG Wells's Time Traveller fast-forwarded through Earth-time to AD 802701, to discover that humans had become Eloi, a race of herbivorous humanoid rabbits who are preyed on by Morlocks, equally undifferentiated fur-covered humanoid savages. Jonathan Swift's Gulliver, in the land of the Houyhnhnms, found that the horses were all calm, logical and passionless, while the Yahoos were uniformly savage, filthy and given to crapping on strangers. How much better it would be if earthlings were as simple as the intergalactic races invented by writers of science fiction! From their earliest experiments with utopias, writers have invented races which are defined by simple, sometimes monolithic, traits.
