Facts - plus this mans giving out bagels with cream cheese and I'm just wishing I had more profs like this. Had a few but still, I can count them on one hand and by and large most were just so dry and uninspired. It seems as if so many professors nowadays just purchase textbooks, assignments and slide packages for their courses, feels lazy. I swear people appease their professors and have to find their own actual mentors/professors in their free time. It's so hard to learn anything when It's unengaging

For 11 years I've been coming back to this. It is still one of the most profound learning experiences available. Sapolsky its truly one of the finest human gems we had a chance to share time with on this planet.

Half of my teachers in what in my country is the equivalent of senior high school were confirmed alcoholics (i.e. they did not do a good job of hiding it). The majority of them were slow and drowsy throughout the day while some of them even got violent regularly; though, while they were not allowed to touch students, there was seemingly no law that prohibited throwing things at students or yelling at them from a micro-wave-length distance. While this was a fun distraction for the usual suspects (daredevils and class clowns, you might call them), some of the more fragile individuals regularly went home crying. I remember a particularly choleric teacher-on-the-bottle, the class of whom I dreaded because, idiot I am, I was seated in the front row. He was pretty much hated by everyone, but he always kept his cool around other teachers, and so we, the students, were stuck with him for eternity, or so we thought. Long story short, he died during one summer vacation (amazingly enough, not due to liver failure). When news got around, virtually the entire student body that had had classes with him, threw impromptu parties to commemorate the occasion. It was one of those reality-is-weirder-than-fiction, ding-dong-the-witch-is-dead moments. The abscence of that loathsome teacher markedly improved the mood in the entire school, though, I have to say. The following school year, for the first time, we got a chemistry teacher, who was not chasing Jack. Which I thought impossible, but there you go. Even now, over a decade later, I hear stories of former teachers of mine, their fondness for liquor of which I either was not aware at the time of their teaching or who later became dependent on ethanol-rich drinks. Sometimes, jokingly, I believe that alcoholism was an entry requirement for that particular school.

Clearly, Robert is doing a fantastic job here. Kudos and praise to him. Many thanks for making this publicly available, it's what all universities should do with all their subjects.

What a brilliant opening. Elaborates on a scenario and brings attention to the mystery of it's reasons. Then presents a number of interesting proposals in quick succession, establishing the kind of things that are to be discussed in the lectures and implicitly saying these are to be discussed later on. He executes it so well.

This lecture is an example of how you are drawn to certain subjects in school solely because of the way it was taught. One can develop interest in any discipline just by learning from the good teachers. God bless you for making these lectures publicly available.

This is a KZread rabbit hole with massive benefits for exploring. I did find it ironic though that he is explaining that the science is pointing to the fact that science isn't the best tool for describing behavior. What makes Dr Sapolsky so effective though I think is that he doesn't teach in a linear or analytical way. His talks are full of inference, analogy and humor, making the knowledge gained connect more broadly with the listener's own experience. He also seems to be a some sort of wizard at pushing limbic buttons at opportune times to make things memorable. He is truly a master teacher on so many levels.

The truth has been spoken. 🐐 👏🏻 I don't like being tested in any way, shape, or form, and back in school, whether I was excellent at a subject or not, I would always try to get out of the classroom as soon as possible during exams. It's weird how I have this kind of seemingly counter-productive stubbornness when I'm being tested by an individual or an institution, whereas on my own free time, I would happily choose to learn about something, and revisit it over and over until it's stuck. I literally find myself learning about new stuff every day, and the fact that there are no tests involved makes me feel like an old school knowledge seeker from back where institutions weren't a thing. I have no degrees (I left my original mediocre high school degree at the university when I decided to drop out unannounced after passing all my first-semester exams with flying colors), and yet I helped people from all over the world with all kinds of tech problems. I never thought in a million years that something that I started learning on my own when I was a teenager would one day lead to helping a business owner with a 5-million-dollar income. My English teacher back in high school once said to a supervisor, and his assistant - out of the blue - while I was there, "The thing about Ahmed is that he's very opinionated." Before that, he was like, "I brought the guy who's gonna fix your computer, guys." And I was like, "But that wasn't our agreement, Teach!" Since I asked him to come with me to speed up the bureaucratic process of getting a copy of my school certificate. 😅 I ended up removing malware manually from the supervisor's computer, optimizing the system, and filling out the whole school certificate myself in like a minute, which made me wonder, "Wow, and they say I have to wait from Monday through Thursday for this? Goddamn bureaucrats!" 😂 It's one of my earliest memories as an IT guy. I remember while I was working on their potato PC, the supervisor being so condescending like, "Well, what you're [capable of] doing isn't really 'in parallel' of what we teach at the school." as if that were a bad thing. Since I never miss a chance to be sassy, I was like, "Well, if I relied on what we're taught here, I'd still be struggling to differentiate between a mouse, and a keyboard." And then he said, "Well, but you skip school to learn these things, and that's not good." And I was like, "Well, you're not the one in class every day, having to deal with annoyingly talkative students who don't even know how to put their pens down without making noise. As far as I'm concerned, skipping school to learn really interesting stuff is always worth it." And then he just shook his head in disapproval. Thing is, that supervisor knew my dad very well, so I always assumed he just liked to play the devil's advocate, while also trying to avoid giving those who are around the impression that there's some kind of favoritism involved; I actually appreciate people like that, because I don't want people to treat me in a certain way just because they know my dad, and I'm too unapologetic to care, because just like many people survive by being dishonest, and evasive, I survive by being honest, and direct. Finally, Thank you, aletter1718, for being the reason I wrote all this. 😁🙏🏻

Absolutely mind-blowing. What an incredible communicator this professor is. Thank you for sharing this freely with the world!

The fact that this is available to anyone who has an internet connection is what it means to be truly connected to the rest of the world and its knowledge. and also, this guy probably kills it at social gatherings.

If putting these videos up for free was the professors idea then he made a damn good choice. I actually agree with him on his opinion that everyone should learn about the content in the video and the videos following this one. The world’s broken rn and the best anyone can do is use their brain to understand their morality and how they can help other people to help themselves. It was never going at it solo, it’s how you can help the world to which it can help you some day in return

Keep learning Kepler It is great you decided to go on your own and learn a bit more than basic education. In doing so you will enrich your mind and your life.

The first time we get a glance at Prof. Robert Sapolsky's video teaching, there's no doubt we can't escape a feeling of stunned astonishment at his unusual look, especially in his hair style. So unlike the classical image we may have formed in our younger years of an austere, conservative competent academic in a prestigious university. The bushy mustache, the luxuriant beard, and the cocky ponytail in the back form a strikingly impressive appearance. One may wonder, what kind of microscopic vegetation may prosper in such a jungle-like beard. All this, while wearing what looks like some kind of tired open shirt more appropriate to home carpentry work than standing between a professorial desk and regular school blackboards. It's easy to jump to the conclusion that we're facing a truly eccentric character, a kind of hippie-style professor better tolerated on the West Coast than in the North-East. Surprisingly, Prof. Sapolsky's style is not as extravagant and unique as we initially thought. There's another distinguished lecturing scientist who operates with practically an identical style of facial hair configuration. This is Dr. Irving Finkel, a philologist, a specialist of the Ancient languages of Mesopotamia. This was a Middle East region now in modern Iraq, part of what is called the "Fertile Crescent". This area is one of the origins of human civilizations, where farming emerged through domestication of plants, and creation of crops. Thus permitting accumulation of reserves of food, a technical development of agriculture, the formation of primitive nations, with record-keeping, government, writing, etc.. the whole megillah. Dr. Irving Finkel operates at the British Museum, in the Dept of the Middle East. He lectures a the Royal Institute. He now is about 70 or 71, which makes him 6 years older than Prof. Sapolsky. The major contrast between both hairy scientists is that Finkel's beard, mustache and ponytail are all white, and thus project a much older look than Sapolsky, who still enjoys a vigorous frame of darker hair. Nonetheless, the resemblance of looks is uncanny. It is tempting to wonder if the two have ever been photographed together. This unusual resemblance suggests another question: Are there more scientists or academics sporting a similarly remarkable bushy frame of facial hair?

I’ve watched a few of his lectures. I like him. Smart guy. He seems not just genuine and entertaining but friendly too. I wish there were more professors / teachers like this.

I’m having trouble seeing the similarities between passing and failing. Other than 65 and 66 are both in the 60’s. However, it does remind me of two sides to every story. Edit: “when you pay attention to categorical boundaries, you don’t see big pictures.” Just keeps getting better.

To know the basic fundamental base of understanding and learning new things or any things you want is Great way or The Only way to know. I can relate it all to the all aspects of life not only human behavioral biology. Thanks Stanford

If I had my ADHD diagnosis and a tutor with this passion 15 years ago, my life would be very different today.

Hello, friend. I have ADHD; I understand you. I decided to go back to college in 2018, at 25/26. I am going to graduate this year... currently, my GPA is 4.0 and hopefully stays that way by December. XD But anyways, I always struggled academically. I went back to prove I can do it. I think ANYONE can succeed if they put their mind to it. Your mind is so, so, SO powerful. Do not ever underestimate your brain! :D

Mate, I saw someone get diagnosed at 28 with what I quote as ‘off the chart scores’ on two separate NHS tests completely different and on different days, times places etc. The reason they did this when I asked was because they thought he’d done the first one before or had somehow ‘cheated’ on a test where the highest score is not an A. I agreed with them as this character is quick and sharp. But when I was with him receiving the diagnosis he was so genuinelyshocked and surprised. He regarded many of the physical behaviour symptomatic of the disorder to be a boon. The only solace he received was that it explained the inability to ‘switch off’ when trying to sleep

This camera guy does not get enough credit. Like damn the professor was pacing back and forth for an hour and the guy followed him the whole way through.

Yeah it’s too zoomed in. Gives a claustrophobic feeling. Should’ve zoomed out a bit and given more perspective of the lecture hall

This is terrible camera work. They need to zoom out a little bit

Just started his book Behave and it is an incredibly funny and informative book. It reads just like his lectures.

This is awesome! Thank you for making it available to everyone!. Lectures hit different when you’re not pressured by grades..

"If you can't explain something simply, that means you don't understand it yet." This guy can carry a conversation with an auditory tone, barely skipping a beat, and hold your hand the whole way without making you feel like you weren't listening. This is the best keynote speech of 'you're going to learn more about yourself than the text in the books provided' I've ever seen/heard.

He would like us to imagine there is no 'next step.' The topic is that we think in steps, generalizations, in order to attempt to understand that which we know very little of, easier that way to categorize what somebody else has placed within that thought process. When it may be better to think that no circumstantial understanding of topics and/or steps is the best first realization in having a better understanding of your/our understanding of behavior. Understand the box(es), then think outside of them but not without. He calls them buckets.

I sure as hell can't learn things without breaking it up into catagories i doubt a lot of ppl could unless you have photographic memory or something which 99% of the general population don't, even coming to a conclusion is one step taken into another step even with Detectives, they find the information and as much as they can, break it down then you focus on the Pertinent Negatives of what's not there or what in the information doesn't make sense without more information that will bring everything into a clear understanding, i guess you do then think outside the boxes once you've established some information by looking at the Perninent Negatives. Information is the key word because without the right information there's nothing you can do with even what you currently know because you can't come to a full understanding of something even in every day situations, if we listen to ourselves we'll know where we need to find more information it's more than just about steps too but based on instinct and intuition too.

@JamRock You are fundamentally misrepresenting what he is saying. In fact, your criticism is actually what he wanted people to understand. He destroys the buckets of categories by taking them ALL into consideration, whereas solely approaching a topic from one category leads to irrationality. Sounds like you are writing a short essay on KZread simply to criticize him. Maybe you should listen more.

@FlyingMonkies325 I suggest you look into Sapolsky's thoughts on Reductionism and follow his recommendation to read Chaos by Gleick. It illustrates why it can be harmful to think of complex issues solely by their component parts. I do agree that we all place our INITIAL understandings of subjects in categories, but we can take those understandings and synthesize them based on understandings from others.
