Thanks Ricardo for bringing Robert Sapolsky! Because of your first episode with him I also discovered your channel - good work :) Regarding Robert Sapolsky, reading "Behave" changed the way I see the world and sparked in me (30 yrs old guy here) curiosity for learning more about neurobiology and biology of behaviour, he's such an amazing mind

[@boydhooper4080]

Great questions and brilliant answers as always from Sapolsky. Overall an excellent interview thank you

[@kristinheartknaan]

Thank you for doing this interview I just listened to his Stanford lecture from Nine years ago on molecular genetics and so I searched for anything more recent and so happy to find him in conversation with a worthy interviewer I’m now a fan of both of you 🙌😊👍👍

[@venugopal2227]

the questions are deeply insightful.....

[@ericphilo6194]

THANK YOU to everybody that helped make this possible. Sapolsky interview is how I just discovered this channel and subed but I have a tendency to save the good stuff for later and this is some good stuff that I will return to for multiple views/shares with add blockers off. If sometime we could get Sapolsky to mention all his books/papers, the motivation to write them at the time, and to reflect on their current relevancy based on today's knowledge would be great. Some sub-systems of our meat machinery are harder to tackle than others obviously and this is some tricky stuff for many reasons. gnōthi seauton

[@stafverstegen2408]

Wow, the niceness and sophisticatedness of this comment section is very outstanding. Great interview anyways.

[@enterestado]

This is a really great guest. I have just found your first interview with him back in 18´. It went under my radar tbh

Damn We are blessed when the culmination of life long endeavors can be provided in some many books like this. To the Wise no man is never not at a profit.

He is the best!!!! Thank you ricardo

[@jizheng1224]

I'm binge watching all Robert Sapolsky videos and reading his book on behavior. Its most informative and funny well written book for the public.

Great interview tysm

Meti o sapolsky a rolar sem ver a imagem. Quando ouvi este sotaque pensei logo "este gajo é tuga". Grande escolha, Ricardo. Faz falta este tipo de entrevistas em pt, pode ser que sejas tu.

[@David_four_twenty]

Thank you :)

[@pattimichellesheaffer103]

We need another update on the "Zebras" book, please.

[@darkel2242]

I find it "curious" that the reason why most people lean more toward conservatism than progressivism is because "they were emotionally upset." That sounds very convenient doesn't it?

[@deborahdean8867]

Yes, I'd like to see anthropological or psychological evidence for that.

[@elitebeing21]

Wow how you got him on your channel with so little suacribers? Is he just a truly nice guy?

[@coryjeremiah4745]

So we have in group preferences? Isn't that racist?

[@KommentarSpaltenKrieger]

Depends on what counts as your in-groups

[@coryjeremiah4745]

@@KommentarSpaltenKrieger genetically similar gene pools: tribes, clans, nations (races), of course.

[@KommentarSpaltenKrieger]

@@coryjeremiah4745 well there are more in-groups than just one. you probably belong to 10 different groups at the same time, either due to innate factors, life decisions, hobbies or self-identification. not all of these groups are defined by genetics or phenotypical similarity.

[@VedJoshi..]

race is just one kind of grouping, you can be grouped by nationality, language, gender, alma mater, economic status, etc.... having in-group preferences are inevitable and quite important to our sense of belonging... nothing racist about that

[@boydhooper4080]

On the question of racism. I think you’re missing the point. Sapolsky and almost all others are saying that we have an innate “preference” for in-groups. It can hardly be considered racist if it is biologically programmed. As humans we have the ability to overcome or modify these innate predispositions. To try to pretend that they don’t exist is a statement of ignorance or cognitive dissonance. To a very large degree I think that is the point they are trying to make.
