As a youngun on Vulcan I had thought of being a cheerleader, but in a society that does not emote, I decided it might look odd and later in life it may reflect negatively on career pursuits .
I am in for the long haul. I think, based on subtle clues, that something grand is afoot and all I need to do is let this investment percolate whilst I pursue additional interests.
I notice that everyone who speaks with SP directly comes away from the experience with a positive outlook. So either he is a worldclass con-artist ( I do not think this is so) or he is very smart and, though treading in waters in which he is unfamiliar, he is bringing more experiences people on board.
Right now, I am betting on the "very smart" card.
Spock ..... to the slots.
