The Cost of Thinking
Despite their many differences, all
human beings share several defining
characteristics. such as large brains
and the ability to walk upright on two
legs.
The first unique human
characteristic is that humans have extraordinarily
large brains compared with other
animals. It seems obvious that
evolution should select for larger brains.
Mammals(
哺乳动物
)weighing sixty
kilograms have an average brain size of
200 cm
2
. Modern man has a
brain averaging 1200-1400
cm
2
. We are so
fond of our high intelligence that we
assume that when it comes to brain power, more
must be better. Unfortunately,
that is
not the case.
The fact is that a huge
brain is a huge
drain
—
consumption of
energy
—
on the body.
I
’
s not easy to carry
around, especially when boxed inside a
massive skull(
倾骨
).
It
’
s even harder to provides
energy. In modern man,
the brain
accounts for about 2-3%of total body weight but it
consumes 25% of the body
’
s
energy when the body is
at rest. By
comparison, the brains of
apes(
类人猿
)require only 8%of
rest-time energy. Early humans pad for their
large brains in two ways. Firstly, they
spent more time in search food. Secondly, their
muscles grew smaller and
weaker.
It
’
s hardly an obvious
conclusion that this is a good way to survive. A c
himpanzee(
黑猩猩
)can
’
t win an
argument with a
modern man, but it can tear the man apart like a
rag doll.
Another unique human
characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing
up, it
’
s easier to find food
or enemies.
In addition, their arms
that are unnecessary for moving around are freed
for other purposes, like throwing stones or
signaling. As a result, humans can
perform very complex tasks with their hands.
Yet walking upright has its
disadvantage. The bone structure of our ancestors
developed for millions of years
to
support a creature that walked on all fours and
has a relatively small head. Adjusting to an
upright position was
quite a challenge,
especially when the bones had to support an extra-
large skull. Humankind paid for its broad
vision and skillful hands backaches and
painful necks.
We assume that a large
brain makes huge advantages. It seems obvious that
these have made humankind the
most
powerful animal on earth. But humans enjoyed all
of these advantages for a full 2 million years
during which
they remained weak and
marginal creature. Thus humans who lived a million
years ago, despite their big brains and
sharp stone tools, lived in constant
fear of meat-eating animals.

How Arts Promote Our
Economy
When most people think of the
arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful
painting, a wonderful piece of
music,
or an award-winning performance in the theater.
But arts groups bring broader value to our
communities.
The economic impact of the
arts is often overlooked and badly judged.
The arts create jobs that help develop
the economy. Any given performance takes a tour
bus full of artists,
technical experts,
managers, musicians, or writers to create an
appealing piece of art. These people earn a living
wage for their professional knowledge
and skills.
Another group of folks is
n
eeded to help market the event.
“If
you build it they will
come” is a misleading
belief. Painters,
digital media experts, photographers, booking
agents and promoters are hired to sell tickets and
promote the event. According to the
Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition, arts
agencies employ more than
10,000 people
as full-or part-time employees or independent
contractors.
A successful arts
neighborhood creates a ripple
effect(
连锁反应
)throughout a
community. In 2005, when the
Bishop
Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location
was considered a poor area of town. After
investing
more than $$1 million in
reconstructing the building, we began producing a
full season of theater performances, jazz
concerts, and year-round arts education
programs in 2008. Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers
live outside of the
Dallas city limits
and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the
Bishop Arts District.
No doubt the
theater has contributed to the
area
’
s development and
economic growth. Today, there are
galleries, studios, restaurants and
newly built work spaces where neighbors share
experiences, where there is
renewed
life and energy. In this way, arts and culture
also serve as a public good.
TeCo
Theatrical Productions Inc. made use of
Bloomberg
’
s investment of
$$35,000 to get nearly $$400,000 in
public and private sector support
during the two-year period. Further, Dallas arts
and arts-based businesses produce
$$298
for every dollar the city spends on arts
programming and facilities. In Philadelphia, a
metro area smaller than
Dallas, the
arts have an economic impact of almost $$3 million
and support 44,000 jobs, 80 percent of which
actually lie outside the arts industry,
including accountants, marketers, construction
workers, hotel managers,
printers, and
other kinds of art workers.
The arts
are efficient economic drivers and when they are
supported, the entire small-business community
benefits.
It is wrong to
assume arts groups cannot make a profit. But in
order to stay in business, arts groups must
produce returns. If you are a student
studying the arts, chances are you have been ill-
advised to have a plan B. But
those who
truly understand the economic impact and can work
to change the patterns can create a wide range of
career possibilities.

Population
Change
Why is the
world
’
s population growing?
The answer is not what you might think. The reason
for the explosion
is not that people
have been reproducing like rabbits, but that
people have stopped dropping dead like flies. In
1900,
people died at the average age of
30. By 2000 the average age was 65. But while
increasing health was a typical
feature
of the 20
th
century,
declining birth rate could be a defining one of
the 21
st
.
Statistics
show
that
the
average
number
of
births
per
woman
has
fallen
from
4.9
in
the
early
1960s
to
2.5
nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of
the world
’
s population live
in regions where the figure is now below the
replacement
level(i.e.2.1
births
per
woman)and
almost
all
developed
nations
are
experiencing
sub-replacement
birth rate. You might think
that developing nations would make up
the loss(especially since 80% of the
world
’
s
people
now live in such nations), but
you
’
d be wrong. Declining
birth rate is a major problem in many developing
regions too, which might cause
catastrophic global shortages of work force within
a few decades.
A great decline in young
work force is likely to occur in China, for
instance. What does it imply? First, China
needs to undergo rapid economic
development before a population decline hits the
country. Second, if other factors
such
as
technology
remain
constant,
economic
growth
and
material
expectations
will
fall
well
below
recent
standards and this
could invite trouble.
Russia
is
another
country
with
population
problems
that
could break
its
economic
promise.
Since
1992
the
number
of people dying has been bigger than that of those
being born by a massive 50%. Indeed official
figures
suggest
the
country
has
shrunk
by
5%
since
1993
and
people
in
Russia
live
a
shorter
life
now
than
those
in
is this
occurring? Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet an
above all long-time alcoholism have much to do
with it. If current trends
don
’
t bend,
Russia
’
s population will be
about the size of Yemen
’
s by
the year 2050.
In the north of India,
the population is booming due to high birth rates,
but in the south, where most economic
development is taking place, birth rate
is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate
is highest in poorly educated
rural
areas
and
lowest
in
highly
educated
urban
areas.
In
total,
25%
of
India
’
s
working-age
population
has
no
education.
In 2030, a sixth of the
country
’
s potential work
force could be totally uneducated.
One
solution
is
obviously
to
import
foreign
workers
via
immigration.
As
for
the
USA,
it
is
almost
unique
among developed
nations in having a population that is expected to
grow by 20% from 2010-2030. Moreover, the
USA has a track record of successfully
accepting immigrants. As a result
it
’
s likely to see a rise in
the size of its
working-age population
and to witness strong economic growth over the
longer term.
