Science is not asexual or passionless. But neither is it a result of some crudely sublimated sex drive. Rather, it is one of our most sophisticated arenas for human courtship, which is the most complex and conscious form of mating that has ever evolved on our planet.

Mostly, we use our memes to improve our sexual and social status; they do not just use us.

Again Shahriyar agreed to spare her life for one more day. This pattern continued for many months of storytelling and lovemaking.

Often, poetry demands a regular rhythm of stressed and unstressed syllables. This requires selecting words not only for their meaning and syllable number, but also for their stress pattern. Meter and rhythm are usually combined to form a double handicap. In iambic pentameter, for example, each line must be of exactly ten syllables, with alternating stresses on successive syllables. Moreover, poetry in many languages is expected to rhyme. Words must be selected so the last few phonemes (sound units) match across different lines. Rap musicians develop reputations largely for the ingenuity of their rhymes, especially the rhyming of rare, multi-syllabic words. Some poetic forms such as haiku, limericks, and sonnets also have constraints for the total number of lines (three, five, and fourteen, respectively). The most highly respected poetic forms such as the sonnet are the most difficult, because they combine all four rules, creating a quadruple handicap under which the poet must labor. Some poetic handicaps such as meter, rhythm, and rhyme are fairly universal across cultures, suggesting that our minds may have evolved some verbal adaptations for dealing with them. Specific forms of poetry are, of course, cultural inventions.
Sayfa 380 - Good prose enhances the speaker's status. Good poetry is an even better indicator of verbal intelligence.
We can be linguistically lazy now because we are surrounded by professional wordsmiths who entertain our sexual partners on our behalf: television, movie, comedy, and novel writers. We may never know whether our Pleistocene ancestors favored French-style wit, English-style irony, or German-style engineering. But they apparently favored some verbal fluency beyond the demands of flint-knapping and berrypicking.
Sayfa 378 - Stars from the blue threshold of my salute. | A thing unstained, unsullied by the brute | Broken nails of the world, by death, by doom
