He's got my vote to replace George Carlin. Not dark enough. But they both have grey hair. and Sapolsky has the epic Santa beard.

Absolutely. Listen to that audience, dead silent, not even the annoying asshole coughing, they are intently listening. I've seen too comics and the pricks in the audience still talk amongst themselves.

Agreed! I can't wait to emulate some of this

Haha. Nice anti-climax! (And true :)

smrog, so cute! Please tell me you put just as much effort into the antagonistic muscles of your back. Otherwise, a six pack is emphasized by the 'Jock C-curve' posture model. Hips forward, shoulders pulled forward, great abdominal definition because of willful dehydration. Gyms need to put in big mirrors that show our backs and butts instead of just the front side; the pecs, the abs, the quads. Too much exercising a muscle group causes shortening of those muscles, thus the C curve. A professional will spot you out of a crowd and tell you where your workout is going wrong. Like moi!! Grins...fyi, tmi...I know! But, hard work does not make anyone brilliant nor the fittest. It takes perseverance, self questioning, time to read, to think, and most of all those first 5 years and possibly in-utero environmental/mental development that causes one to be able to use their 'quotient for intelligence'. To be able to think outside the box, NOT needing to follow some club, church, party affiliation, to be able to stand and think alone without mimicking those one thinks is superior. Robert was lucky (and unlucky) to have lived a life where operating out of the box worked for him. He most certainly 'worked' for that niche! I agree that we are so lucky to enjoy and learn from such top notch teachers! It is YOUR job in college to check out the professors/instructors that you are paying for...are they popular or are they making bucks for the University on research yet they HATE teaching. I loved making that latter type change their curriculum and teach others how to question and make their professors do their duty TEACHING. Very much fun. Hard to fall asleep in any class with this attitude! It is our responsibility to make more Robert Sapolsky's!! Just getting through a class to pass is such a waste of resources and money. It makes a difference when one puts themselves through school. What kid appreciates free stuff?

With so many entitled people in today's world, this comment is a breath of fresh air.

Only just discovered this guy and it’s an honour to be able to watch his lectures. Fiercely intelligent, knowledgeable, articulate, yet with sprinklings of good humoured playfulness. A true educator 👍

You are not six packs , if you are then you are abusing exogenous steroids.

Same here man :D This is gold (im a elementary school teacher in physical education from Sweden) and has broadened my horizons :)

Hey Mr. Chaplin! I love your work! Though I'll admit... you lost me pretty solidly with the whole world war thing... Maybe the joke was just lost on me... Ah well, manners. Anyways, the rest of your work? Love it!

Exactly! The fluidity of his presentation is absolutely amazing.

He's always in homeostasis

Discovered this man today and this is my exact thought! wonder if he has a biography. Would be amazing to understand how he developed into who he is today🙂

@@suni9625 u r on to sth very interesting friend! I am so glad i found him. He changed my life.

Never seen a thing but I’m defiantly watching this 😂

I love that he's so intellectually honest. Always willing to provide an answer, but also humble enough to flag that there are areas where he's not a researcher and more of a speculator. That's real integrity.

I watched a lecture given to NIH and there was mention of Genetically Engineering the Brain. I'm not sure this work is actually selfless.

For real!

Good luck in your search for one.

I hope you find it. Lucky hippo 🦛

Amen to that Jill

THANK YOU for this, champ! 😀

THANK YOU FOR THIS KING! i have to do this for assignment and don't feel like watching an hour video about Zebras xD

I just say DON'T try to skip to any particular parts, listen to it ALL

Sometimes one does not have the luxury of time... Thanks, I needed inspiration and that came at the end of the video.

Cheers for being helpful!

Is this presentation a good summary of the book?

I am proud of being a high school dropout I know that sounds odd.My father died when I was 16 I had no other family to speak of. A family friend , an atty offered me a job at min wage as his receptionist.There I learned to file, type wills, deeds and other legal documents. I learned some about law and lots of legal terminology.Then I became a hospital admissions clerk at night and after 8 pm I had 3 hours of free time just waiting for any late admissions. In those days security was not as tight as now. The doctors medical,library was not locked so I would bring down a couple of medical books on diagnoses I had typed in to read ... I was exposed to medical procedures, surgeries. I booked operatingrooms, labs,.and xrays for the following day from drs who called them in to me usually on newly admitted patients. So I learned medical.terminology and a few things about medicine. Next I worked at a city medical center admitting patients Tufts NE Med CEnter in BOston. Upstairs there was a rehab hospital for para and quadraplegics. There was a female psychologist on staff. I got.to know her. There were no female doctors in the 1960s that I had met...they existed but were few and far between.The more I learned about what the psychologist did the more curious I became.She encouraged me to take the GED you had to be 21 back then to take it...I took it and passed. Then she told me to take the SATS. I did and took her my scores. She said wow you should go to college...I had scored in the 98th percentile on the verbal..I was an avid reader...my math was less than stellar. She said try the community college. I went talked with the registrar and he said if you take a math course and make a B I will let you in. The Vietnam War was raging, males were desperate to go to collee to get draft deferments enrollment was tight. I continued to work and took a math course at night. I got a B. So the next semester I had applied for a job on campus as a secretary and got it because I knew medical.terminology ...secretary to the new Dean of Allied Health.I was able to work my schedule.of classes around my job thanks to him. I loved psych...I made deans list and finished with a 3.8 average. I then went to a four year college graduated with honors took the GRE got admitted to the 2 grad schools.I applied to. I chose one and got my masters and PhD. This journey took ten years but I graduated debt free working on campuses being a teaching assistant, working on research grants etc.. I became a PhD clinical.psychologist and an assistant then associate then full.professor...later a college administrstor and at 50.was.offered a college presidency. I chose to turn it down and instead to sail with my husband in the Caribbean...I knew my window to do that was short, no one STARTS that kind of sailing at 65 sail handling by that age is just too physically difficult, especially for a woman and I was ready for a new adventure.I had lived under my means all my career saving and investing so my husband and I had the funds to retire at 50.and 55. Had I not been a poor student all those years I likely would notmhave savedmso much amd invested so well,,,tech stocks in the 90s.By then among many other college programs I ran I was setting up tech labs chosing software courses to teach and knew what tech products were selling on a large scale to businesses and industry...not inside info but sales info which guided my personal investing. I tell you this to say you can do pretty much anything you want to do.Had I gone to college at 18 I would not have had the drive , motivation and maturity to do that long haul learning. Many can and do but I was not ready at 18. Those years in the workforce precollege were highly motivating for me..Most college students are trying to make a social life, find a mate and are distracted by those things while they are college...I wasnt . I knew it was my chance to make a different life for myself. You may want instead to start a business or do other things in life and you can learn anything you need in many ways. Some professions are closed off without a traditional education but so much ISNT. You can educate yourself quite well online. I just found a marketing course online free from the Wharton School.of Business for a young 29 yr old man with an 8th grade education in Guatemala.He wants to learn business and was curious about marketing..he worked hard to learn English and is now fluent...he is very bright but had to go to work at 14 to help support his large family. He has all the ingredients of a successful business owner...he already has a successful one just on a small scale. You will.realize one day thatbyou GOT things developmentally from dropping out...even if just maturity. Build from where you are in the direction you want to go..dont compare yourself with others just be yourself and move in YOUR direction... Sybil.Francis PhD clinical.psychology 1979

MIT students made Norman Bates AI, and people made an AI clone of Salvador Dali for the Salvador Dali Museum using Deepfakes. Bad choices in my opinion. An AI clone of Winston Churchill, and an AI clone of Robert Sapolsky, and an AI clone of George Carlin have my vote.

Hey Micah, fancy seeing you here :^)

@@bluejay6904 If Winston Churchill were alive today, he would have charged with war crimes. Since it is not that practical to run any simulation on a live psychotic mind, Norman Bates AI may have some merits in research purposes. www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29701767

Agreed!

good point here.

of course i will

I definitely agree. I think it is clear in his lecture series that Dr. Sapolsky understands that as well. Many of his explanations begin with a twist, where he starts along the 'obvious' explanation, then proceeds to dismantle it. At least in my experience, this has lead me to always be second guessing his explanations, trying to think ahead and catch him out before he points out the twist. Actually, it's rather similar to the Veritasium approach. To me, this shows that he has a good broad knowledge of the subject, and especially that his understanding is self-consistent - evidenced by how he can deftly shift between different views/interpretations during an explanation (such as in his Human Behavioural Biology lecture series). I find the contrary is that if someone sticks tightly to a script, it is often a sign that they have learnt by rote - rather than through actual understanding.

Yeah, there's no evidence stress causes stomsch ulcers.

He stated nobody dies of flu anymore. This is of cause grossly incorrect.

Capitalist society is causing your stress.

@@shadetreader yeah communist china, former socialist soviet republic or some theocrazy primitive country is surely much better for your mental health.

Also neurodivergency like autism and ADHD cause elevated stress. Both intrinsically and by how neurotypicals treat you... .

Pretty easy for a well-paid famous Stanford professor to say

@@DelsinM He's not saying that you should live in poverty or whatever. But more saying that forming good relationships are a better path to being happy than money and success.

I think another bit of advice I've heard is to be specific in ambition. A lot of the stress of ambition is the feeling that you should be a vague concept of successful. A lot of the stress of working out how to get what you want is working out what you want, what that means, and how you'd get there. A lot of success is to take certain things into your control and that means developing relationships and management of stress and management of your pursuits. If you're alone, you lack stress management support, you don't have a network to help you succeed, and you don't have anything to guide you in your pursuits. It's not just that success isn't the predictor of happiness. It's also that a well-rounded person has more avenues for success. He says somewhere else that humans have the power to decide what matters. You hate your job, but the job only gets you paid. You have the power to decide that what really matters is kicking ass at ping pong, or being a good parent, having a great social life, pursuit of hobbies, etc.. So even dominance doesn't make sense until you force people to choose what they want dominate.

​@@charliegreen4128 No disagreements here. There is absolutely nothing wrong with "success" in general. What matters is the place that that desire for success comes from. If it's superficial motive then your success personally will only ever be just that - superficial. But if you really just want to follow a passion because you love it, or you work a job to provide for yourself and your family you'll have a much truer success. One that won't leave a poor after taste

I can say that I’ve suffered from depression for most of my life. When I retired from law enforcement, my depression worsened significantly. On a whim, I tried marijuana edibles and they were transformative in the treatment of my depression. I can’t speak on psychedelics, but I think it’s worth a look.

What are the insights that you apply, if it is not too personal?

Yeah, please share if possible.

Therapy can't cure the problems capitalism causes.

BeckmanInstitute

Naw, a certain level of stress is healthy, go over that threshold and the stress reactions are harmful.

Thanks for that quote!

V G are you saying or intimidating that what I said was an actual quote by someone important? Sorry.

@Pike Fisherman You are missing what is important I think that you should take away for information. The mind and body are ONE. The body affects the mind and what the mind thinks affects the body. Philosophy is never as good as learning about how your own body works! The trick is to reduce STRESS. How to not allow little things to ever become stressful. There is a threshold for each individual, each species of animal. Once at that threshold one becomes literally deaf, dumb and blind. Gardening, getting your hands in the soil, some great crafty hobby, art! learning something new, taking a class to learn something new...powerful. Grins. You will learn that we are not in 'control' of our minds. Perhaps Buddhist teachers who have spent their entire lives rising above the trite life stuff feel like they are in control but I gotta tell you, we will never be in control, we should never want to be in full control. Lots to be said for the skill of going with the flow?

Same thing tho, is it not?

even if you have Covid19 you have more than a 2/3 chance of survival. unless you have a weak immune system. it has gotta suck nonetheless. practice Tai Chi. i hear movement and breathing help boost the immune system.

covid-19 is part of the coronavirus family of viruses, or which SARS is one of the viruses, not the influenza family

Its true, they're both viruses and they affect our lungs and give us flu symptoms... but theyre both very different, one is novel, the other we have known for centuries, and we even have an effective drug and vaccine, its true that very less people die from flu unlike before, but for some vulnerable populations it can be fatal.

Apart from the annual total of between 12,000 and 60,000 no one does.
