- Robert Sapolsky is an American neuroendocrinologist and author. He is currently a professor of biology, and professor of neurology and neurological sciences and, by courtesy, neurosurgery, at Stanford University.
Recorded: May 2017
His pace and method of teaching is incredible.
Imagine Sapolsky on cocaine
Almost hypnotic 💯
i ve been listening to him on yt since i was studying psychology. 6 years gone by and now im in the field of neuroscience finally being able to fully appreciate what he is saying. He organizes a bunch of research and connects it so well in his speech while still seeming a little chaotic, just enough to keep us engaged
That’s awesome!
I’m pursuing degrees in psychology and neuroscience too!
I already was an RN for over a decade and have a bit of introduction to neurology etc, through having had various neuro patients, although the majority of my patients were cardiac.
Now, my passions are definitely neuroscience and psychology oriented. Love the newer awareness of connections between the gut microbiome to neurotransmitters (gut brain axis) and epigenetics.
I’m also very passionate about attachment theory, consciousness, healing, neuroplasticity.
For the neuroscience curriculum I want to take almost every class, even though you have to choose out of various classes!
What are you hoping to do with your degree? There are so, so many possibilities!
This man is by far my favourite neurobiologist!
mine too!!
who's your second and third?
He changed my life and my worldview from his books. He's amazing
@@tartanhandbag Well, not sure if Mike Posner and Jaak Panksepp could be called Neuro-Biologists, Joe LeDoux probably. "Next" are Ruth Feldmann and Steve Porges. Many more names could be put on this list, but I don't want to bug you with all the names ...
@@tartanhandbag took the words out of my mouth
Until I listened to this, I had no idea how much there is to know, and that one person could know it. Not sure why, but this guy makes me feel hopeful. Smart guys like him usually don't do that to me.
This mans voice bathes me in oxytocin. Always listen to him when I’m ill or can’t sleep. He’s a super spreader of happiness. Keep talking Robert
That’s what I say about Andrew Huberman lol
😂I was about to write something similar. He's hypnotic in the very best of ways 😉👍🏽
Me tooo! I fall asleep listening to him often. If My 20-something self were in his class I’d definitely have a big ole “student with daddy issues” crush. He is a beautiful being in all the ways
True, his voice sounds like the one of Bob Ross.
Learning with a soothing voice feels so great!
I listen to him most nights after work. I’ve learned so much at night lol. If I’d had him as my science teacher I would have done so much better. He is simply awesome.
I saw a same video where he said the same introduction, it's still amazing nonetheless. I binge watch this guy's lectures on standford's youtube channel. Good lord.
it is in his book, freely available introduction on Amazon
@@BaiMengLing tyyyy.
I've just read his books and I can recognize his enormous knowledge of his field.. He is a extraordinary and phenominal educater, neurobiologist and psychiatrist. His lecture always a worth while to learn and very helpful to understand. Thanks to yourube, I can have a benefit to watch his lecture even though I don't have any other route to attend his lecture far from a distance with my residence.
Dr Sapolsky you are so captivating! Truly a blessing listening to you.
This looks interesting. I love how he point out all these personal contrdictions of ideology and philosophy in an obvious way. Politics and Prose.
Fascinating lecture! Clears up many misconceptions about human behavior based on genetics, gender and culture.
Un Possible for sure. I keep coming back to this talk when it comes to the nature vs. nurture debate.
Un Possible You've got to be kidding me.
I don’t know that it clears up many misconceptions…but it does touch on some of the reasons there are misconceptions.
Misconceptions, and the clearing up of, would take much time, reprogramming of the subconscious, deep introspection and metacognition, separating out many of the conditioned beliefs… it’s a multifaceted, multi nuanced, multidimensional process to ACTUALLY clear up the misunderstandings. Many misunderstandings are built on millennia of ignorance and arrogance…and that takes a lot of work to tease and iron out.
I love you, prof. Sapolsky!
i really enjoy listening to this man. good speaker.
Everyone should hear this man speak.
Highly recommend his Stanford lecture series on human behaviour. Life changing.
The Stanford series is incredible. I’ve listened to each once multiple times.
He doesn't believe in "soul"? He has never witnessed a newborn baby, who seems to possess a complete personality and the 20 years later be able to say, "This is the person that I saw at the beginning". Or to hear of the collapse wave of light to a particle when only measured by a person. He is a contradiction of "scientific" evidence.
what a legend this man is
If anyone hasn't seen his documentary Stress: Portrait of a Killer - must watch (for free on YT)
omg omg omg thanks so much i was running out of sapolsky things to watch xxxx
Thankyou

Magnifcent, but and yet manageable for listening, to a master such as knows just about all you could conceive to know as important for human beings.
The Prof's info is at a rate and density that is astounding!
Wow! Amazing talk
...What..The...Fuck...^^^ This is GARBAGE for the thrash can.
@@redragongaming What are you talking about?
my current role model/inspiration
I had learned some of what he discussed before, but this was so informative and had so much more knowledge to add. Great stuff!
One the best lecturers ever
So engaging, love this guy.
The Amygdala is the organ of violence and is located inside the Limbic System...
Fear is stored in this organ.
And it is where you're anger is stored.
Where PTSD is stored.
But the "Insular cortex" is you're moral code, where you know how to do right from wrong....
Found on the frontal (inner portion) of the cerebral cortex area.....
"This frontal cortex organ makes you do the harder things when its the right thing to do"..."its you're impulse control, you're gratification postponement, and long term planning, you're emotional regulation"
"What does the frontal cortex spend a lot of time doing? Its spends most of its time sending inhibitory projections down to the amygdala hoping to race down their in time before you act on you're impulses" so these projections going down to the amygdala helps you think before you act.
The name Pegasus means FARTS. Can you smell them?
Excellent take on what he's actually saying!
Anger and ptsd are not "stored". They are experiences that become activated within various neural networks when a person experiences which are significant to/for them. PTSD is a multidimentional/complex experience. Anger often does not involve as many neural networks as PTSD does.
Lets see, the insula is not really in the frontal cortex. It is a (small) cortex all it's own, and it kind of lies between the temporal and the frontal cortex. Also I would argue that the fear system within the brain is a complex multilayered system that includes the amygdala but is not limited to it. The insula has a number of functions it contributes to and it also helps process emotion as it is experienced bodily.
'Your'.
You are(you're) welcome
Awesome Paradox when Professor Spalosky says in his book Behave page 4. " When you explain a behaviour with one of these disciplines you are implicitly envoking all of the disciplines".
putting his name in the thumbnail like that is very appropriate for the status Robert commands
I can't stop listening to this guy speak and I love his hair and beard!
Yeah he's sexy, smart, and quirky I love it.
Professor Sapolsky is one of the two most influential intellectuals of our time I enjoy listening to; the other is Terence McKenna. I would have loved to have the two debate -- too bad Terence died so early in life! Need to research if any law journal articles have been published inquiring his physical explanation of the human biology. He could have a huge impact on our criminal law, just as Terence proposed! Then, there is always Professor Robert Lanza to debate as well. His theory of biocentrism is so realistic, especially combined with quantum entanglement. What would Sapolsky say to Lanza!!! Interesting thought . . . .If not, my next project!
Insightful and concise take on this complex topic. Thanks, Dr. Sapolsky
My absolute favourite human
I was distracted by the girl who kept falling asleep behind the people asking questions lol
So, violence in media can increase violence in people who are already violent. So how can Professor say that violence in media is not significant to the overall violence. In other words, does Professor claim that adding gasoline to an already existing fire does not make the fire worse?
I absolutely agree that violence in media can increase and “normalize” violence. Anything we are exposed to repeatedly, has a desensitization effect.
I guess I missed where he stated that…but you have a very good point, which I absolutely agree with.
Neuroplasticity is essentially firing and wiring, over and over. It can be used for positive things, learning better communication, a sport, a language, etc…but it can also be detrimental, like when exposed to violence, harmful ideologies, and such.
Love this man!

24:00 WHY childhood matters
i'm a fan of situational ethics based on time and place and cultural values at the time. i live in Japan. They would not riot in that culture.
Alot less crime and fuckery and addiction in Japan from what I've heard one of the few countries I'd actually consider living with only one major drawback and that's the overpopulation .. I prefer less social interaction and room to roam
Well, there are times in Japanese history where there is a terrible inhuman acts were perpetuated- admittedly against ‘others’
Think about the “why”. The collective conditioning of Japanese society. What is “acceptable” or not, “honorable” or not. Conditioning is powerful. We often aren’t aware, until we deeply examine the subconscious influences.
Think also about suicide in Japan, also based on the conditioning, expectations and collective repression of emotions. Repressed emotions don’t magically disappear..the body doesn’t forget and it will come out in one way or another. It comes out, in each culture, in various ways.
Bravo!!
if I'm understanding this correctly, the insular cortex, in a meta sense, is the origin of deception? or the illusion of?
Watched it twice. Not sure I got it though. Don't pretend to be knowledgeable enough to really make a comment. But do have a Q. Acc. to what I understood here, a brain made a decision based on: hormones, wiring, structure/function, cultural history, personal history. Seems like a hyped up amygdala had the final word before the frontal cortex could digest it all. And that hyped up amygdala was heavily influenced by all the other "attributes" as he called them. Upon presentation of a stimulus: "person holding something (could be gun)" the perceiver either shot or did not shoot depending on all the previous attributes and perception under specified circumstances. Do I have that right? If I'm missing something, someone please let me know.
If I'm not here's what I wonder about: What about volition? Is there a personal choice about behavior here in this scenario? It is not a moral choice in this case, just a response to a threat, assuming that the perceiver was a cop or a security guard or something similar. We're talking about a response to a stimulus. Certainly Behaviorists would have a hard time explaining this, I think because the perceiver had no prior learning history, or at least, none that we know of so it was not simply a "learned response." So, is the argument here that the shooter had no volition? No choice? Just a series of preexisting conditions "attributes" that "impelled" him to shoot, or not shoot? Breaking it down: the guy was: CHHBS/F type 1: Culture/history/hormones/brain structure/function and due to this he pulled the trigger or not?
How about a moral case: Guy is jogging past an apple orchard. Signs up: "private property-keep out-no trespassing, all apples are privately owned, etc." Fences up. Guy jogs by and can easily reach in and pick an apple. No one will ever know. Does he pick or not pick? Is it also based on being a CHHBS/F type 1 or not? In other words, is the behavior determined in the same way when moral decisions are made vs arbitrary acts under given conditions? If yes, are we then accountable for our actions?
Is there only immoral or violent acts made due to "volitional impairment?" Kids from the hood vs kids from the Hamptons. One kid grew up with stress which affected the growth/functioning of his frontal cortex and that's why he chooses the way he does and the other with little stress and his normal frontal cortex functions well and therefore he chooses/behaves the way he does?
Great considerations and questions.
I think our subconscious programming and conditioning have enormous impact on decision making. Of course, an emergent, survival oriented decision is massively different than picking an apple (and the moral reasoning).
It takes much awareness, introspection and metacognition…so one needs to have very high caliber executive functioning capabilities. It also takes training of over-riding the amygdala. That’s a Herculean effort and most people have no clue that their reptilian brain is at the helm.
The subconscious is responsible for 95% of our behaviors (mostly) and the conscious aware only 5%! This is enormous in understanding human behavior as well…it’s so multifaceted and multidimensional. That’s partly what makes it endlessly fascinating.
I’ll digest your questions and hope to come back, but I’m always learning too! Knowing we don’t know is probably the most profound thing we can know!!!
You understood a lot and these are great questions.
27:15 - He accidentally says “turd”. I know, I’m a super mature 32-year-old dad. My kids think I’m funny though.
esketit!

LMFAO I love this guys introduction he minced no words and jumped into it. Then was like is my Mic on lol. Having a fantasy severing Hitler's spine, torturing, and killing him amazing. SUBSCRIBE. I would be laughing hysterically and everyone would look at me like I am crazy.
Fascinating and going to end up very bad when they start imprinting their "professional" conclusions on society, sounds like a recipe for literally zombifying humanity.
So if I take testosterone, will it make me study better/ smarter? Serious question
Probably not
YES
It could also send you into a constant aggressive/aroused state- overwhelming your frontal cortex- creating massive problems for you and anyone near you.
Probably just practicing the discipline of study and training up that frontal cortex will be more effective. But (bleh) initially hard till you have practiced.
Mindfulness would help you 100x’s more than testosterone. Messing with your hormones (when you haven’t had tests that say they are out of whack) is playing with fire. It can have a serious ripple effect. No hormone lives in isolation.
Learning mindfulness and practicing it daily, can change the brain (neuroplasticity for the win) in incredible ways. That’s the route for overall effectiveness and improvement across every aspect of your life.
@@justinkerns2640 you are severely misinformed.
Testosterone can make a person’s amygdala (the dumb ass center, for a lot of situations) perceive more situations as threatening…therefore, some people with higher testosterone will make poor decisions based on that perceived threat. Impulse control and other issues also can be poor…hence more accident deaths, car wrecks, aggressive behavior (that can end in injury or death) and other risky behaviors. None of those are showing full access to the frontal cortex (region for rational choices).
I’d rethink your narratives, cognitive distortions, biases, and examine the subconscious programming and conditioning which led to you to your “conclusion”…not based in truth, but in belief. Those two are rarely synonymous.

hm...1 m&m''s (chosen) +5 m&m's (reward )= 6 m&m's (total), and 5 m&m's (chosen)+1m&m (reward)= 6 m&m''s (total), meaning you get the same amount of M&M's. So either way, they pass the Mc Naughton Test.
Wow that was emotional :j
He is amazing ugh ❤️❤️

Lol videogame violence didn't help at all when it came to watching my first beheading. Games don't prepare or imitate the smell of metal in the air, it doesn't convey the gurgling and bubleing sounds. I mutch rather had spent a lifetime playing thise shifty games than to go through what I did. Games had nothing to do with it. The first Xbox was still new then.
Does this disbelief of “are they listening?” comes as an inevitable side effect for learning neuroscience or psychoanalysis!!! Thats funny!!!

Is he serious? Appropriate punishment vs unjust punishments ...
Is he an actor?
get some.
I enjoyed this , wish you had briefly gone into incarceration as a societal issue and the shifting views of the POLICE
That question about pharmaceutical intervention for kids really bugs me. The lady implies that male status-oriented behaviour fueled by testosterone is detrimental to their development. You might argue that it's backed by statistics showing that boys are falling behind girls in education. I would argue instead that the environment that boys grow up in has feminized at their expense. Rather than learning how to control and harness both aggression and status-seeking, to the benefit of society, you want to investigate chemically blocking testosterone in boys to make them easier to handle. As Prof. Peterson's rise in popularity demonstrates, boys and men are hungering to learn how to control their aggression and harness it for self-betterment. Something we should have been thought growing up - instead you'd rather feminize us further. Knowing that people like this are active in politics scares me.
What good evidence ignoring the sociopolitical and relying on some self-help celebrity.
You completely missed the entire point of the talk. Neurobiologist and primatologist Dr. Robert Sapolsky here is not saying that testosterone levels are a problem. He explicitly says he is not saying that. Instead it is the values of our society - rewarding aggression with status - that creates the environment where testosterone levels are correlated with aggressive behavior.
No one is vilifying men. People just want society to stop rewarding aggressive behavior with status. We want that to stop because we know the science.
Peterson is knowingly misleading you and everyone else who buys his books and other nonsense into continuing to line his pockets. He’s selling you a very shallow and naive ideology.
Prof. Peterson´s rise in popularity is due to guys being more and more afraid of losing their state of priviledge, making them resort to pseudo intellectuals to speak out for them, not because what he says is right
Motive.
If’s I can explain myself for the nonsense crucial people, especially for the Russia games, it’s different for the government to be in honesty and deceiving ways .
My imagination is they looking alike one cell, walking. If’s there’s no conscious attitude of no morals , there’s nothing wrong with ashamed doings in your feelings for hurting the others, not respecting no gratitude 🙏🏻 and no honesty that you feel how much you are not intrusions.
How’s mount of your clothes luxurious extraordinary by money value, it’s your cover as well as the turtles 🐢 shelter to hide your own not valuable to living, just the living dead.
The moral support human beings are different ways of the animals to live just for instinct for living. If’s human beings living with beliefs and cultures different that why’d we created for ourselves living mount of developing from the past time.
If’s you don’t respect yourself right now how’s mount of building your imagination for the world trusting you.
I don’t think I am the best, but if’s it’s my respect and responsibility for the truth and other people in different, how’s mount of hunting for the world of democratic hurtful ways of me.
How’s emotional justifying your behavior on weapons and digging for the wrongs doings against humanity that is you have no human value, weakness for your blaming others and you can’t create anything, since your weakness is power of weapons dependent.
How’s democratic power for your wrongs satisfaction and hurtful attitude aggression against humanity such as the sanctions freedom, how’s the Ethiopia 🇪🇹 being with your power and famine , Yemen wars crimes against humanity, how’s your freedom aggression liberty, Syria, civilians living in their cycles of fleeing violence for a decade without your soft behavior and no mercy’s. What’s your purpose is your greedy on robbing the Oils, tills the Ukraine leadership only one of brainwashed in easygoing with persuasion too much needed money for the luxurious life.
How’s your maturity going if’s the Educated process for learning but No has intelligence and ethics problems in your behavior overseas.
How’s mount of the world community in trouble by your own business and brutally, that you cannot cover yourself by your Blaming Government’s gangs🙏🏻.
Have you ever been feeling guilty for yourself getting money’s?
It’s not for the Democratic doings, without the laws respect 🙏🏻.
A clever mix of some scientific hypotheses with personal biases not based on much evidence
Exemple?
Roberto Chimentão All of his presentation is damn bullshit, it's made up by his hyper drives consisting of praying to a goat god that hurt his feelings. Now he thinks that instead of inner organs he has wheels and he's a mutant bent up on revenge for that goat. Plus his face looks like he's made of plastic, WTF, never saw Pinocchio reach old age. Sapolsky's nose should grow bigger with the constant lying barrage that he throws at his audience. He sounds like he makes up this stuff in his sleep.
He doesn't believe in a soul? good luck finding the part of the brain that organically creates emotion, awareness, or thoughts.
What does one have to do with the other?
I believe if you look harder, you will find they have had good luck
The brain is just a tool. It’s like a car but still needs a driver with will to make it do anything. Your soul is the will to receive pleasure which drives the car. You don’t create thoughts you channel them. It would take too long for chemical reactions to create complex thoughts that are then translated into language. Most of us think of something instantaneously. Intuitive people know answers to questions before the they even asked. Organic chemical reactions are not instantaneous and have rates that can be measured. You’re awareness is separate from the brain. It’s very easy to prove this just take DMT and have an OOB experience to see for yourself.
@@Chris-xy9lm Your soul is the will to receive pleasure? What? Intuitive people know answers to questions before they are asked? So what. Organic chemical reactions..have rates that can be measured? Gobbledygook
@@milart12 thoughts and emotions happen instantaneously it would take too long for them to be created organically by the brain and expressed by language for this model of everything comes out of the brain to be true. Your soul works at the quantum level where the maximum rate of change is the speed of light
Before studying any other science, the understanding of what human knowledge is built up from, is an essential part of learning to learn, inherent limitations and predispositions.
Yes learning how to learn is the best tool
I got more inspiration than I did in an entire term of university. One of the most productive 36 minutes of my life.
Awww you should be proud to yourself!
There are some who are born to teach. He is one of those.
Robert Sapolsky can talk about the most distressing subject matter and still manage to chill me out. There's something about how he talks that is very calming.
I am fascinated by his teachings. The frontal cortex is the most interesting. Why we do what we do. Thanks for posting this.
The frontal cortex is indeed interesting. It isn’t the only aspect that influences why we do what we do however! That, as he said is very complex and influenced by everything from the amygdala to the hippocampus, to epigenetic changes and more. The frontal cortex is the rational center, unfortunately the limbic system more often than not runs the show.
Conscious mind (prefrontal cortex) is only responsible for about 5% of people’s behavior, while the subconscious mind (limbic system etc) is responsible for 95% of behavior!
That’s why getting having awareness, introspection and metacognition, can help one be more attune to the subconscious programming that often runs the show. It’s why mindfulness (and it’s positive neuroplasticity effects) is so powerful…it’s the harness, the pause, to the subconscious autopilot behaviors that are responsible for many self sabotaging things people do.
This man is a treasure. I keep wishing and hoping that he would sit down with Andrew Yang - the only presidential candidate who cares about and understands the impact of stress on our lives individually and societally. I wonder if anyone knows how to contact him?
Such a great speaker, slipped a "turd" and elegantly hops to "herd" without the slightest trip... I woulda gone to utter shit and have been in and out of hysterics for the following hour or so.
Yes! Exactly what I thought too! 🤣
Funny I saw him 3 different video and giving exactly the same talk
He wrote the lecture he can and will keep repeating it until the most ppl he can teach it to know that's why he's a teacher and a brilliant one at that
For as long as ppl r listening are absorbing knowledge i hope he continues repeating his knowledgeable......good on him...
COMMENT: Wow! No comment; due to too much to think and rethink about. This no comment is intended as a complement. Thanking Prof. Robert Sapolsky for all his long hours of study and thought...
SIR you are absolutely INCREDIBLE. There is literally nothing available in my already limited vocabulary to articulate what I wish I could. Ty on every heartfelt level x
Love love love this man 🥰
Great man.
Very interesting, people should know more about this behavior stuff. Also, great dude!
Santiago Pérez Silva yes!👏 well when the student is ready,.......im sure you can finish the rest!👍
29:30 onwards on change is exceptional.
Thank you for the stamp, he’s not Jordan Peterson popular so it’s harder to share his gold nuggets with friends. Thank you for the time tag.
I absorbed and retained every bit of this lecture. Wow.
If testosterone makes men interpret neutral social cues as aggression, then why do they always think you fancy them when you're ignoring them?
Simple yin and yang positive negative. Day night boy girl up down left right. Cant have one without the other.
I continue to be baffled by Sapolsky's views on the efficacy of psychotherapy. Could anyone comment on that?
I second this question. From my own understanding I believe Sapolsky is simply following the general scientific consensus that psychoanalysis has little to offer the clinic. How far the casm between cognitive science and psychoanalysis has become is a difficult question to answer.
In the lectures that Stanford University has posted, Sapolsky does acknowledge the place that psychotherapy plays in the mental health of depressives.
Forgot to ask. What about Phineas Gage? Great guy, good forman on the job, personable, polite, etc. Then, a railroad spike goes through his head cutting off front of brain from the rest of his brain. Now he's vulgar, impetuous, irrational, wild swinging emotions, etc. Does this show that behavior is nothing but brain structure/function? He had a personality change but did he maintain the ability to make moral or daily living choices?
I know this is a year old but the Phineas Gage story is very debated, some sources say he really continued to be the polite person he always was; he went on to be a stage coach driver for years, you can’t have that job being an unstable loon. Maybe he could control it still? Maybe it was more of a “I almost died... yolo” thing.
Fun fact: when he went to the doctor afterwards, he bent over to vomit and a “teacup sized” piece of brain fell out... and then he passed out
If’s there’s condemn violence aggression especially for the truth that I can’t twisted how mount of humanity beings justifying the twisted question or straight forgive I am not believing in only condemned is human🙏🏻. How’s war’s the mount of aggression we kneeling😿?
It’s so scary please if’s it’s democratic national made for unity of journalism for feudal serfdom propaganda for peace🙏🏻.
Great mind. I wish he was speaking with Southern England English some call it Queens English.
Just spend a few days sitting in your room- Sadhguru about longing
This is fantastic
I've fallen in love with Prof Sapolsky
HA! It DID INDEED produce activism 10%+ of the 60's. In spite of pandemic we have protests worldwide. Activism at levels from White House to your house, all around the world.. (In response to final question 54:50 which must have been "What about Trump?)
@@Ellie_Kat Thanks for reading and replying. truly curious...what do you think the 4 yrs refer to? What damage does he mean is about to be done"? What about him being "Trumpet" induces upcoming activism? Why does being the Trumpet cause despair that he must escape from reality to a liberal progressive college campus?
Asking in all respect and with sincere curiosity. And considering this was filmed within a few months of Trump taking office...
Also, why do you think he mentions castration?... Comparing his studies of male aggression in baboon society and considering the presidents well known male aggression to society, well castration has the effect of reducing testosterone and aggression. It seems Sapolsky is saying Pres Trump is detrimental to society, not himself, an academic with a career dedicated to understanding and helping people thrive in society. I could be way in left field, just my take on it.
ah thanks I couldn't hear what she said so was hoping someone in the comments would enlighten me! That would definitely make sense of his answer - I'm in the UK so it didn't seem so obvious to me straight away!
how do martial arts or military training affect the brain?
often when you see an injustice your more likely to jump
into action to stop it.
Of course martial arts or military training effect then brain…just like any other repeated skill/discipline. Neuroplasticity.
Firing and wiring and repetition= neuroplasticity.
That’s what happens in any sport, language, training, etc….it all effects the brain.
great talk..great insight
It's nature and nurture. So many want to boil complex issues Down to one thing. Not Robert he understands nuance and complexity.
I agree with Robert's views on many subjects. He is very intelligent, insightful and entertaining:)
Seems like an ordinary person asking Robert seems so stupid when he comes back with an answer 😅😅😅😅
So much common sense and science
we really do love violence! dont gimme that b.s about the right kind of violence people still raise and breed animals to fight to the death for our entertainment
This guy is good! This guy is really good. Thank you, sincerely.
