impregnate his lady, no matter how valiantly he tries, is about to arrive. And when it does, the cries of newborn babes
in hospital corridors will drop dramatically, and merchandisers selling baby supplies will find their sales suddenly
plummeting, and formerly busy schools will wonder where their enrollees went. If there is no solution at hand, the
problem will not be allowed press time even then, as those who rule the media are too close to those who would take
the blame.

Scientists are lately busy mapping the places in the human brain that are active during thought. This is a time honored
practice, and not far off base. When a human stares at an object the visual areas of the brain are more active than
usual, and when another is in telepathic communication with the staring human, both have the same areas of their
brains active. This has been known and recorded for decades. What is recent is the attempt to document by what
means humans think, arrive at conclusions, or have, for instance, a brilliant insight. One can map with simple animals,
trained in a maze, the learning curve whereby they learn that to follow the smooth wall, for instance, they arrive at
food. The first time this occurs it is by accident, so the rat makes an association. Smooth walls = food. The next time
the rat is put into a maze, if hungry, the rat will give more weight to exploring smooth walled paths over rough
textured routes. What's going on here?
The mental association in the rat's brain is a chemical sequence in the existing brain cells in certain areas of the brain.
Hunger in the rat is now connected to those sections of the brain which hold visual and tactile imprints. These
imprints, as well as the pathways, are chemical. These imprints, or stored data, and pathways wax strong or weak,
depending on how often they are used. More use, strengthened chemistry. Less use, debilitated chemistry. If the rat
does not continue to find food via smooth walls, it will explore these paths less and less often, until smooth walls have
no more significance for the rat than any other type of wall. These chemical pathways are not identical. They have
characteristics that relate to the area of the brain they point to, and in simple worms are somewhat transferable.
Worms, taught to head to the right or left for food or to avoid injury, can have their brains fed to other worms, who
then seem to have ingested knowledge. What's going on here? The brain chemicals, not broken down during digestion,
migrate in the blood stream to the brain, and being of similar chemical composition in similar worms, attach to the
brain pathways of the new host. The chemistry for right or left is specific in these worms, being on one side of the
brain or another with some slight differences, and where these differences weigh only slightly they weigh enough to
set the ingesting worm to favor connecting to one side of the brain or another. A transferred learned response, proving
that the brain works by chemistry, chemical paths and chemical images.
Emotions are chemistry, generated from within. Sensations, the power of the brain to retain ideas, is also intrinsically
allied with chemical reactions. In fact, it forms the base. What else would there be? Hormones stimulate feelings, and
homones are created by nervous stimulation of the glands. It is all intertwined. Senses receive light rays or heat, or
other such stimuli that create chemical reactions that travel along nerves and are then stored in your brain by chemical
changes. These chemical changes are so slow to deteriorate that you die before many of them do, which is why you
have a memory. This is a chemical store, similar to a computer databank, in which chemical changes are virtually
permanently etched in your brain.
Complex thought can be broken down into thousands of steps, where sensory memories are related. Even the abstract
concept of numbers is related to sensory memories. The child piling blocks is noting that four blocks pile higher than
three, and the concept of greater than is related to these counts. Does the one pile not loom higher? When adding just
one block onto the short pile, they are equal. An incipient algebraic equation is building in the babe's mind. Great
thoughts are built from many small mental data stores, and many more connections. Great insights are simply where
two or more formerly unrelated connections bridge, to become related. How does this bridging occur?
It is known that people think best while pacing, and that palsied children not able to crawl or walk lack some ability to
learn concepts. Bridging occurs when the chemicals needed to build a new pathway are in abundance in a certain part
of the brain. It is accidental in that the connection is only by proximity, but no accident in that the brain areas rich with
these chemicals are so active because they relate to the issue at hand. Thus the brain is just making an introduction.
