Robert Sapolsky, "Behave"

[@antianti9957]

Excellent. Sapolsky is a hero of mine.

[@Ceronocero]

This man is such a prophet, in a vital, secular way

[@SapienSafari]

Ceronocero Amen

[@ricardodelacrvz1400]

he doesnt believe in prophets

[@orcvsivstitia7608]

He did just say that morality was evolutionarily driven. I don't believe evolution could functionally operate to a 1/1 success rate or by subjective means.

[@jcarlosreyes25]

The end of the book and the paragraph about the epidemic was amazing.

[@victorramirez-fi1gk]

Alot of what's in his book "Behave" is in his Stanford lectures 😊

[@cube.9816]

MAN !!! His voice is incredibly relaxing and sounds very wise !!!

[@zagyex]

haha

[@IlicSorrentino]

He's one of the best...

[@moviedude22]

So many brilliant articulate, learned folks out there. I love Book TV

[@SapienSafari]

Sapolsky is solid.

[@shanesmith6112]

You know, he is a calming presence as he relays bleak stuff.

[@patricklarsen8078]

Fuckin' aye

[@hilo330]

God I love Sapolsky!! He is the real deal!

[@PBAmygdala2021]

Gonna buy the book tonight! Also, liked and subscribed!

On behavior, I have yet to read or catch wind of any literal work that bests this Herculean, far ranging, expert effort by Sapolsky. Within these pages, rests evident, a nuanced labor of love. It wasn’t always an easy read...neither are humans. Read it and spread the word.

[@travelguy1564]

I worked at the Arkansas State Hospital for many years and all this sounds quite familiar!

[@LeMuppet]

Sapolsky sounds so much like Adam West. Only makes me adore him more.

[@afraidtoask]

@3:40 visitor comes to bookstore and can't get to the shelves he wants to browse. lol.

[@orcvsivstitia7608]

Question I'll never get answered. If this new and improved insulor cortex is only in our brains.... How long actually would it have required to gain that function? I'd guess a few hundred thousand years at minimum. The longer this upgrade would have taken....the more likely other things would be missing at the time of the process starting. Abstraction of all types perhaps.... maybe even subjectivity itself and wouldn't that be strange if morality is evolutionarily rooted and older than subjectivity. That would be a very serious issue for the Postmodernist.

[@spencerbarton5353]

How are you defining subjectivity and morality? How do the experiences of subjectivity and morality within human adults relate to the experiences of subjectivity and morality within human children, apes, and other mammals?

[@AudioPervert1]

so many books ... super !!!

[@davidwilkie9551]

Just so

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

And all this was about... what? People behaving like people?

[@michaelthompson2295]

A bit more nuanced than that Maria.

[@Fascistbeast]

He is a master in his field 👍
