I'm not sure I can agree with this, spike. Judging by the fame and fortune
of women like Marilyn Monroe, and by her marriage to the late baseball star
Joe DiMaggio, I think it's safe to say that many modern men are inclined to
mate with women like her. Is this going to lead to positive feedback from
modern mate selection? I dunno. I wince when I think of what it might mean
for the future of the human species.
