Description

Vulcan Mentat Society

Goals: Acquisition of Intelligence and Knowledge.


We are going to enact the advanced philosophies of Vulcan and Mentat culture.Let us make a modern day equivalent to these intellectually based societies.Let us create a culture capable of intellectual "Kung Fu".The practices would exercise the mind making it capable of mental feats.Topics to include intelligence ,knowledge acquisition,making a Vulcan Mentat society possible,recognition of Vulcan/Mentat Buddhas*

I believe these and others like them are deserving of our awe,respect,and emulation.

- Vulcans are a race of humanoids in the Star Trek universe committed to mental development and feats of logic.

- Mentats are "Human Computers" with abilities to compute and analyze vast amounts of information.They lead a life of intellectual development.Taken from Frank Herbert's Dune novel series.

*(Examples would be: Buckminister Fuller,Alfred Korzybski,Einstein,Tesla). This list is not exhaustive.

Shorthand systems: Went to page on shorthand systems and search on word Gregg. Zero hits. Apparently no mention of Gregg Shorthand. Taught myself it 15 years
