Through a series of understandable miscommunications, every year Starfleet Academy has between 5 and 10 course requests for "Partying" from incoming Vulcan applicants.

At least one Vulcan each year withdrawals their application upon being told it is not a field of study taught by any human school.

What about Chico State? I was told that is a "Party School."

Star Trek already did this, except it was Data instead of a Vulcan and he didn't get a very good grade.

i'd literally rather die than go to a party. unfocused undirected unscheduled endless socializing where i have to pretend like i'm having 100% fun is a torture sentence

What would you consider sincerely fun, no pretending? Would any of those activities be something you could share with loved ones? Boom, party.

They are such overachievers. I would only disappoint my Vulcan daddy and join the Vulcan circus.

Party on Starfleet

There was a Vulcan diplomat in Enterprise that T'Pol looked up to, that surprised everyone when she came on board, by actually being diplomatic, and acting more human to get along with the humans. I bet she teaches the class on parties

Lesson #3456: When making a "joke", any joke, whether it is good or bad and requires the audience to look at something, tell them ...

Look at that! .. you see this .. look at that ... Look ... See this ... Look at that ... Look at that ... You seeing this ... Look at that ... Look ... See it ... Look ... Look at it ... Look

.... even after they have obviously looked at it, you continue pointing and directing their attention ... wrap your arm around their shoulder, get in closer to them and continue telling them ...

Look at that! .. you see this .. look at that ... Look ... See this ... Look at that ... Look at that ... You seeing this ... Look at that ... Look ... See it ... Look ... Look at it ... Look

Lesson #5357: If there is a large water feature anywhere near the party, find the nearest tall structure and attempt to jump from this high point into the water. Ensure that you announce your actions to as many people as possible before making your attempt. Feasibility, common sense, safety or basic mathematics is not required.

"I've dwelt among the humans. Their entire culture is built around their penises. It's funny to say they are small. It's funny to say they are big. I've been at parties where humans held bottles, pencils, thermoses in front of themselves and called out, 'Hey, look at me. I'm Mr. So-and-So Dick. I've got such-as-such for a penis.' I never saw it fail to get a laugh."

I always find it interesting that on the silver screen, AI with superior emotional intelligence is always few and far between. It's in tons of written sci-fi but for video it's rare, for some reason.

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

That's a good observation! I liked how in "Her" the AI had the appearence of emotional intelligence, but you come to realize it was just using outputs that humans would respond to. Very precient for how GPT et al works.
