Hello Future – Hello SOFW Potential Futures, my hero ‘Mr. Spock’ and what does this have to do with innovation?

In my youth Star Trek was my favorite show and Commander Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy, was my hero. Spock is the Science Officer on board the spaceship Enterprise with the task to logically investigate human behavior. As a half-vulcan he suppresses his emotions and usually reacts with logic and even tempered. A typical saying for Spock is the expression ‘fascinating’ which he uses to react to events and phenomenon’s which would be unthinkable or threatening. This very expression ‘fascinating’ have personally used when I experience things which I find hard to believe. ‘Fascinating’ as a short mental break before I start judging as a reflex reaction.
