- Yeah they got it…. - You had it. You got it right.

The brain- you can put things together before they’re finished.

has… a natural behavior toward a female.

How do you know it isn’t conditioned by society?”

And it was tropical, and they wore no clothing.

And the males of the island never stared at the female body.

They always looked at the eyes of a female when they talked to them.

and none of them had a picture of a nude woman,

because they were nude ever since they were knee-high to a grasshopper,

And there were no Peeping Toms on the island.

If Beethoven or Bach were dropped by parachute

over a headhunter village in the Amazon as a baby,

and you met him when he was 30 years old,

[and] said “What do you do?” [he'd] say “I’m a headhunter.”

He wouldn’t have written any of his symphonies.

They do not come from outer space, and into the head.
