“Custom-made love dolls go for SEVEN Grand,” From “Storage Hunters”. Wow! Who knew? My “love doll” existence education is apparently sorely lacking. In fact, I find I’m learning a lot from the things people abandon in those units.

There is so very much in this world that each of us just doesn’t know.  As time passes, I become more convinced that each of us possesses knowledge that equates, at best, to a single grain of Sahara sand. I kind of joke that the older I get, the dumber I get, because the field of knowledge growing the fastest is the one labeled “Things I Don’t Know.”  There simply is no collection of “all the knowledge in the world.”  Google has a great deal cataloged – perhaps one small dune’s worth.

Who, when, where, and how will the collection be completed? What will happen? Perhaps our race will ultimately “ascend” like Stargate’s Daniel Jackson or we’ll be omnipotent like Q. 

When humans get to the point where that has happened, it will mean that people have learned to cooperate rather than compete. That it seems, will imply that either male biology has evolved, or females rise to complete power. I draw those conclusions in part because I’ve been listening to “The Male Brain.” When you give great consideration to the implications of evolutionary requirements and compare them to future needs, strong and fascinating implications exist as to the future nature of humanity.

Please don’t take my word for it, though. Read the book, and its companion, “The Female Brain,” then draw your own conclusions.
