No Man, Being Reared Here In The West, Dreams Of Growing Up To Become Mr. Spock

And this is because Mr. Spock was a Type B Vulcan, and Vulcans within the Star Trek universe don't allow themselves to experience lust or anger.  Plus, Vulcans only have sex when they go into heat - every 7 years or somesuch.

But primarily, it's their propensity to be Type B personas that put them within the category of "Not The Ideal Man".  Conversely, to continue with this bizarre entertainment allegory, it was (& still is) Captain Kirk whom personified the ideal.  He was the Type AA who was handsome, debonair, and always sexually virulent (willing to jump in bed with most any female alien species he found sexually attractive).

Mr. Spock would have none of that.  He was lean, serious, compliant, loyal to a fault, and thoughtful, or perhaps as we here in the western world might describe him:  sissy, fag, momma's boy, queer, freak, virgin, homo.

-------------------------

This is the embodiment of Mr. Spock, but it's so not in line with our Type AA ideal here in our culture.  Tenderhearted?

What's hilarious about Samson Society is (based on my experience) the majority of men who end up within this community of men are Captain Kirks, but for Samson Society to work, Kirk personas aren't helpful one bit.  In fact, I would argue, they complicate the community much, much more than synergize it.  And that complication starts at the base level of Samson relationships - one man and his Silas.

And my proof relative to making that statement lies within the answer to the following question:  Whom would you rather have as a Silas?  Mr. Spock or Captain James T. Kirk?

-------------------------

And this is where the proof lies in the pudding.  Type A's typically don't do this well due to their propensity to be control freaks, therefore in the end, despite Mr. Spock likely wanting to rip Kirk's throat out on occasion, you'd never have known it.  In fact, that particular Vulcan state of mind likely spurred him on that much more towards his end goal of total allegiance to his bestest human-friend.

In closing, Type A's and AA's also isolate with the same aplomb as they attempt to control everything and everyone and every circumstance around them constantly.  And their isolation breeds opportunity to participate in stupid due to their distance from the Spocks within their life.

So...

if you're committed to this community of men, I would argue that you cannot fully contribute well to either it nor your own self fully until you lay down your "I'm the center of the universe, a natural born leader, the best of the best" persona and replace it with "I'm committed to this community, under Christ, for the good of everyone I'm privileged to serve."

And yes, you will feel neutered at times and quite constrained, but in the end, your loyalty towards serving other men within Samson Society will not return to you empty-handed.

Due to him being integral to the series, there's logic behind why Spock was and will always embody the spirit of the beloved Star Trek.  Know too the root of the word integral is integrity.
