Blog 2 59 Calling on Humanity’s Brain
Hello, Victor, How are you doing?
Oh, hello Harold. Well, actually, not so bad. My figures are not all in yet , but it looks as if I broke the two hundred mil mark for the first time last year.
Oh, very impressive. You must have a very good brain.
Well, yes I guess so.
Where did you get it?
What do you mean, where did I get it?
Your brain. Did you buy it?
No! What are you talking about, Harold?
Did you do anything special to get your brain?
No.., I’ve always just had it. It came in the package, you might say.
“Came in the package”? So, it was actually a free gift. And you’ve used it to make two hundred mil last year? Good return on investment, I’ld say.
Okay, Harold, what are you talking about?
Well, I’ve been thinking a lot lately… Thinking that if the 1% of the world’s people with the best brains - that’s about eighty million top-notch brains - thought of themselves as the brain of humanity, rather than as just super-bright individuals, what could they accomplish? If even half of them thought of themselves as the brain of humanity and they set about to do what a brain does - keep the rest of the body fit and happy - wouldn’t they leave the world - which they inevitably will do - wouldn’t they leave the world a much better place?
Harold, you’re losing your perspective.
Hmmmnn. No, Victor, I think I may be finding it
