For anyone unaware, this joke references a conflation of the Spock we all know and love with Dr. Benjamin Spock, who wrote some of the most prominent books on child rearing.

He had some decent political views, but his child-rearing advice wasn't always very evidence-based.

Truth be told I've never really read up on him, I only recognized the joke because they make a similar one in the movie Captain Fantastic lol
