  • We are continuing our exploration into the exploration of the Alpha Quadrant before the Federation . We'll be taking a look at The Vulcans and what they've added to the quadrant. Here's a Hint.. They acted exactly as you expect Vulcans to Act.

    On Vulcans wanting humans to go slower, the average Vulcan lifespan was two to three times longer than the average human lifespan, which doubtless compressed their sense of time much in the way that a year seems a lot less to an adult than to a prepubescent child. A young Vulcan adult would consider an event two hundred years in the future to be within his own lifetime, whereas a human would consider it to be something that even his grandchildren would not survive to see. Thus, the Vulcans would tend not to notice that their timeline for human advancement was being read as "not in your lifetime, buddy" by the humans, since it was within their own personal lifetimes.

      Your comment still stands, BUT, (lol there's always a but) don't forget that the gap isn't as massive as you're making it seem. Before the time of the NX-01, humans had cured all disease and lengthened the average lifespan significantly. Not to the length of a Vulcan, but not 65-85 years.

    Another thing you forgot to add, that Vulcan telepathy was always powerful, that the emotional instability of one Vulcan onto others was a thing. Example being when Spock was brought into a world's Ice Age past, McCoy said that the telepathic gestalt for lack of better word of ancient emotional Vulcan was influencing Spock light years away. Some have suggested that the reason the proto-Romulans were able to learn a level of control over their emotions, is because of their distance from rest of Vulcan and that when the majority of Vulcans embrace of logic also calmed the torrent of telepathic on slaught emotions as well.

    To be fair to the Vulcans, Earth's civilizations destroyed themselves in a nuclear war. A century to rebuild is rather reasonable. Also reasonable is restraining human exploration, considering how unprepared humans were(the NX-01 didn't fully install their weapons until they were under threat, they never field tested their warp drive until they were being chased by a hostile race, they didn't launch probes onto planets to see if it was dangerous for away teams, nearly killing their crew members, etc.), and they deteroriated Vulcan's relations with neighboring nations, such as the Andorians, by revealing their espionage facilities.
    Humans later brokered peace between the Andorians and the Vulcans, and helped create the Coalition of Planets, that eventually led to the United Federation of Planets, but the first couple years really proved that they needed to learn how to do things better.

      Kyle Sawyer the Vulcan philosophers saw humanity as a mirror in their species past. Knowing what was out there, the Vulcan high command making humanity walk instead of run was a wise decision. The other half of that equation was high command also saw a potential rival that could out think Vulcan when coerced to do so. Humanity became a star crossing race less than 50 years after a nuclear conflagration that nearly destroyed us. I'd be scared of progress like that in a new species too.

    Yeah I can see the Vulcans as a hinderance to mankind’s technological advances but at the same time understand the danger humanity posed to itself: a tendency to become arrogant. Knowledge is power but it does not bring wisdom. I get it from the Vulcans point of view. Overall their guidance didn’t hinder or stop man’s crowning achievement: the Federation. And the Federation was the best thing that happened to both species if you ask me.

    If you consider Star Trek novels as part of Star Trek canon, then I'd recommend reading The Romulan Way by Diane Duane and Peter Morwood (1987) and Spock's World by Diane Duane (1988) if you can get your hands on a hard/digital copy. Both are from the TOS period/timeline, which I know is obvious given when they were published. The first provides a very detailed and rich backstory on how the Romulans came to be from leaving Vulcan two thousand years ago, while the latter provides a similar level of richness on the backstory of the Vulcan race.
    The novels don't really jive with the post TOS TV shows that came after, but if you are willing to overlook that, then try to give them a go. I've been a fan of Star Trek for several decades and watched all of the different incarnations. Inevitably, a franchise that has lasted that long with so many different writers is going to have discrepancies in the backstories - not just between novel and TV/movie but even between the different TV series. You have to accept those as inevitable.
    Anyway, great videos. Sorry I didn't know about your series two plus years ago. I'm subscribing now!

    In the Animated Series, Spock goes back to Vulcan to honor the Vulcan gods. It seems they never gave up their polytheism. I don't see any evidence they gave up "spirituality" either, unless you're defining it in a very exclusive way.

    • @LoreReloaded
      @LoreReloaded  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Much of the animated series is not considered Canon given its.. Interesting take on things. Both TNG and DS9 make it pretty clear that belief in a God or gods is rare among federation species. I found no evidence that the Vulcans would still believe in such things. I would agree they still had rituals.. But nothing to indicate a religion. Do you know of any non-TAS episodes?

    • @Krshwunk
      @Krshwunk 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Animated Series was produced by Gene Roddenberry. If that's not canon, I don't know what is.
      Also, where in TNG and DS9 does it show that belief in the divine is rare in the federation? All I see is a few particular Starfleet officers being skeptical about the divine status of certain alien entities.
      Also, Kirk in TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais" says, "Mankind has no need for gods. We find the one quite adequate." The only interpretation here is that Kirk is rejecting polytheism but accepting monotheism.
      Also, Vulcan rituals look more religious than most religions ... especially when it comes to Pon Farr. I mean, at the very least, they're immensely spiritual. We can agree on that at least, no?

    • @LoreReloaded
      @LoreReloaded  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Gene Roddenberry would no longer be the quintessential source on Canon and had some very quirky things. Both Captain Picard and Benjamin Sisko indicated that Humans hadnt been religious for centuries.. TAS is also brimming with inconsistencies and continuity breaking pieces. While I'm happy to concede that TAS has indications that the Vulcans were still religious.. I just don't find it lining up at all with other series..at least TNG and on..

    • @Krshwunk
      @Krshwunk 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Gene Roddenberry was quintessential until (at the very earliest) The Motion Picture (but more like until early TNG) ... but the Animated Series predates all of that. Also, where does Sisko indicate that humans haven't been religious for centuries? I watched DS9 several times and never found any evidence of that. Now, it does seem that Picard on a personal level has a bone to pick with notions about the supernatural (which would explain his tension with Q whose existence challenges that) yet even Picard says that he believes we don't stop existing after we die (TNG: "When Silence Has Lease").

    Here's something confusing about the relationship between Vulcans and Romulans: Romulans are supposed to be the emotion loving offshoot of Vulcans that left Vulcan after the last great war. If this were so, then one would expect the two to be intimately familiar with each other. But on Star Trek Enterprise episode Minefield, T'Pol says that the Romulans are "rumored" to be an aggressive territorial species and that the Vulcan High Command has never made direct contact with them. This statement is at odds with their history. T'Pol should know full well exactly who the Romulans are, and even be able to translate their language. But I guess we can't expect perfect canon from a TV show. :)

    • @seraphina985
      @seraphina985 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I suppose that it's possible the last direct contact prior to that could have predated the founding of the Vulcan High Command in it's current form. Institutions being radically changed and reformed or even completely replaced with another is something that can happen still that wouldn't explain exactly why T'Pol knew little about them unless the High Command was not exactly being forthcoming about the details of that part of their history, wouldn't exactly be the first time the Vulcans have been less than forthcoming with useful information because they were trying to cover up something those in the know considered unsavory. Hell they were reluctant to admit that Vulcans who chose to express emotions still existed as they were too unsavory let alone that they oppressed some of their own people to such an extent they had to flee and isolate themselves to the extent they evolved into an entirely different species!

  • @wright534
    @wright534 6 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Interesting as ever; nice work. It definitely fits what's known about the Vulcans that they would try to change (they would probably prefer "guide") Humans sociopolitically to what the former considered less threatening. It also fits that they wouldn't see this as hypocritical (or not enough to stop doing it, anyway); it's very hard to see the beam in your eye as you attempt to remove the splinter in someone else'.
    There might also be some envy and corresponding sense of inferiority, that a species as turbulent and unsophisticated as Humanity had achieved warp travel AND changed radically in such a short time. I can see that being a hard pill to swallow for a race as self-assured as the Vulcans.

      One of the more intriguing movie moments is the convo in The Day the Earth Stood Still with Keanu Reeves where the professor dude says humanity only changes during moments of criticality.
      I used to leave my dishes in my sink till it overflowed. Then I'd be forced to do my dishes if I wanted to invite friends over or have a party. The professors logic played out with my dishes. Eventually though that excuse for behavior led to a much easier path of progression. If I did my dishes immediately after cooking giving no chance to caking their was no moment of criticality and the tedium of doing dishes was no longer tedious.
      In short my laziness was the professors rationality behind even that moment of criticality and ultimately it was a truthful observation from a untruthful foundation. With that observation laziness is not the backdrop of full potential its the self limitation of finding the easiest point of flow.
      Also I love this particular segment of Vulcan having been their and done that and humans being there and doing that in a shorter time period. One mistakes that in this fictional star trek backdrop that the vulcans impeding humanity when in fact they are the mirror image of humanity extended over a longer period of time. Humanity however has no mirror in its current state to self analyze itself and so their is no Vulcan role play going on to provide that bounce analytic mutual improvement progression that would eventually even lead to the greatness that was the federation in its non emphasis. The limit cap was only a limit cap to ensure that the same mistakes were not repeated because laziness is not a justifiable excuse to development no matter how padded the argument is behind historical/philosphical references.
      Hence the modern day sensationalized star trek is that same cancerous thing that caused humanity to arrive at the Cochrane point at all. Which makes the limit cap all the more necessary as humanity seems incapable of spotting its cycles even when interjected into media formats.

      Q tend to do that a lot, to oversimplify “for the sake of our feeble minds” as they tend to see it... if you think about it the encounters themselves prove that the one Q we get to see most of, in of itself was our biggest proponent and critic, fearful and eventually cautiously optimistic of what we could become given opportunity, and knowing historically just how well we take to even the slightest of opportunities regardless of opposition... much as the rest of the galaxy really, and more so than any other species,
      it’s also telling how Quark of DS9 talked of humans and the Federation in discussion of the subject with other alien species...

    Mintakans are a Vulcanoid race but they are not Vulcan descent. Think aliens that look like Humans.
    The Vulcan-Romulan War gives context how Romulans infiltrated Vulcan High Command. Vulcans generally do not know what Romulans look like except a few.
    Vulcan fear of Human emotion or feelings of superiority is ultimately illogical. Most of them haven't purged emotions anyway going through Kohlinar becoming monks. Plus context. Vulcans are an emotional telepathic race that also used telepathic weapons. While they preach IDIC some of them tend to forget everybody is different and what is normal for them isn't for other species. One can see that in Michael Burnham raised like a Vulcan. Not seeing a therapist to heal her trauma. Sarek was an idiot for a father. No wonder his sons tend to rebel.
    As for Vulcans contradiction of liking and hating exploration they met Klingons and Andorians. Telarites may be rude but their first instinct is to argue not shoot. Andorians had a reason not to like Vulcan as their government is sneaky. Again infiltrated by Romulans. Klingons well you have to shoot them a couple of times before they are intimidated to talk. Human tendency to come in peace makes them look like babes in a conflicted region of space to Vulcans.

    My hypothesis is that both the Romulan and Vulcan race were one at one time and the whole introduction to the mindset of logic separated their society and I believe that the Romulan initiative was more aggressive and technologically driven. They weren't interested and logic and peace in the Galaxy they were more interested in their own advancement and that's what drove them away from Vulcan Society.

    • @jimjimellell

      There was a novel 35 years ago that was allowed to use the Star Trek universe and in it the Vulcans had a civil war between the ones who wanted logic and the ones who did not. At the same time Vulcan was invaded by a spacefaring race that had warp tech and advanced weapons. The planet was nearly conquered until the illogical rebels managed to get operatives into the alien crafts all in one night and defeat them. There was a truce and a deal so the rebels took the alien ships and went searching for a new home and found a planet they called Romulus. This ties in with Spock in his later years going to Romulus and being a part of the underground movement to reunite the Vulcans and Romulans.

So, did the Vulcans go through some massive genetic manipulation to achieve this cultural goal? In other words, did they change their own brains to be able to suppress emotions? Because that's the only real explanation that makes sense to me.

    • @googleuser7454

If only we could find a big brother/sister race in RL to broker deals between countries and get us focused on something more important, cause i think quite a few would agree with me here, but i would like to see a base on the moon or at least a landing on mars before i die. at this point the only big moments of my life have been ones of darkness(9/11, the rise of ISIS, possible nuclear war, etc). my parents at least hand the moon landing, my grandparents had the day the Nazi's and the Japanese surrendered.

      The relation of the Debrune to Romulans and Vulcans is somewhat unclear, but what we do know strongly suggest that when the Vulcans who left Vulcan to found Romulus, split at some point into Romulans and Debrune. However the Mintakans are definitely NOT related to any of them, they are however a type of humanoid the resemble vulcans, and romulans etc. (hence the term proto-vulcan). This is expressly proven by the contents of the episode that features the Mintakans.

What you're trying to say is that they were one of the fist peoples to create warp drive *among the peoples that would eventually join the Federation*. There were warp capable civilizations in existence when Vulcans were little more than early *Vulcan equivalent to mammals*.

    Uhm actually Vulcans did not originate on vulcan, they originated on another as yet unknown planet which like other planets was seeded. They then moved around alot after developing tech and ended up on a planet that was shared before they became vulcans. This planet would be where they and the Romulans parted ways due to philosophical differences. They traveled to Vulcan and made their home but they began being influenced by their passions as generations often do younger generations that is and didn't have a well established method of repressing emotions what happened was they made it more of a governance rather than a spiritual practice.
    This lead to the war that ended all wars where the creature of pure logical philosophy died from radiation poisoning.
