[@voltaire975]

You've done us a world of good. Thank you Robert Sapolsky.

[@ArjunJagadeeshV]

hey man,you ask super relevant questions without being repetitive and Sapolsky rocks as always..👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏.... Thanks for the Pills of wisdom

[@TheInnovationShow]

Thank you brother, Sapolsky makes it easy.

[@ASA_1347]

One of the best interviews I have ever seen. Fascinating. Thank you.

[@malinbelin4520]

Thank you Robert. You filled My life with wisdom and meaning.

[@seanorourkeartist]

Great Podcast, I love Sapolsky what a legend 💪🏻❤️

[@reginaargentin2864]

I’m a number one fan. I’m an artist and I listen to this guy as I work often.

So amazing. The fatigue is so true. Neuro fatigue after brain injury is one of the most challenging effects but having the knowledge to identify it allows you to set up your processes, systems, human side to have a plan to get through in the best way. Interesting to understand if people don’t have it in their repertoire to identify they are experiencing fatigue their “systems” don’t have any set ups on how to get through those scenarios in the best way possible.

[@TheInnovationShow]

Thank you Melissa, what a great guy, so much knowledge.

[@kristinheartknaan]

For a man who doesn’t believe in soul? He is a truly beautifully evolved one ☝️😇

[@onebodytherapy4194]

Stunning interview. Love the podcasts

[@TheInnovationShow]

Thank you

[@williamjmccartan8879]

Thank you very much both for sharing your time, work, knowledge and experience, history is important to reflect upon, its also important to know that the man, or woman you we're yesterday doesn't mean that you have to be that person you are today, thank you again Robert, and Aidan, peace

[@TheInnovationShow]

Thanks William

The god. I saw him on zeitgeist 10 years ago and read behave in prison. Incredibly spiritual and transformative experience.

Good man Try these Next Maurice Nicolls psychological commentary on the teachings of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky.

[@buenvivir-live7523]

Wow!! I discovered Friederike Fabritous thanks to Aidan McCullen, now you get Sapolsky 2 after I finished “why zebras don’t get ulcers” Thanks for this amazing work you do Aidan!

[@TheInnovationShow]

Thank you. Robert is joining us again after Christmas to discuss zebras too.

[@SebastianLundh1988]

Reminds me of the time I was under major stress because of university and love problems, and I went off on my mother over childhood things.

[@TheInnovationShow]

It happens man, it’s good to know why.

[@SebastianLundh1988]

@@TheInnovationShow Yes. I guess I should meditate more. I'd been suffering from mental problems for about two years around that time, so it had been building up.

[@TheInnovationShow]

@@SebastianLundh1988 yes, it helps for sure. We have a few episodes on meditation and mindfulness if it is helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roauY4yFlsasntU and kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIfalWiwqMesoaM and breathing kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJCvf2mGga6mjMk

[@roobookaroo]

When? Where?

[@JamesSmith-kt3bi]

Though I love Sapolsky, the question begged in some of the research he quotes is the morality of the experiments, however benign, on monkeys and rats and other animals is this morally acceptable?

[@AmitKumar-xm6yx]

Watch Indian Film Ship of Theseus. It has answered everything. Believe me.

[@mkdesu]

What books do you recommend that are worth reading?

[@TheInnovationShow]

Hi there, is that question for me or Robert Sapolsky? I’d it’s for me, it depends on what you want to learn?

[@mkdesu]

@@TheInnovationShow I guess for both, I'm just open to anything.

[@TheInnovationShow]

Perhaps the first place I’d start is how to create a habit, then you can create a habit of reading? Then I’d start with BJ Fogg’s “Tiny Habits”. He is our guest on Dec 30, I’d you would like to watch that episode first.

[@cyberiad]

It sure would be a relief to stop hating people who indifferently create misery. It would be a relief to not believe in evil. Animals hurt and kill one another but I don't know anyone who would ascribe evil to an animal.

[@ombligodeagua]

Questions I would ask Sapolsky : Why do you like keeping your hair grow long? feel free to add...

[@billyranger1236]

Very knowledgeable. He doesn’t need to believe in god. Unlike those who believe, he does god’s work. More 🙏🏾🥂🦋🆒☯️

[@pattimichellesheaffer103]

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

[@TheInnovationShow]

I’m hoping we will have it in Jan :)

Why can I hear tv in the background whilst Sapolsky is talking?!?! I'm on vacation!!

Noise in someone's background.

[@TheInnovationShow]

Yes it was a pity, Robert was at home during the interview. We tried to clean it up as best we could.

dude seriously AND really CAN I buy you a Proper 🎤Microphone dude

[@TheInnovationShow]

Thank you, I had no choice, a Sapolsky on vacation with his family or no Sapolsky at all, I took it :)

So to get a conviction, make the jury eat a rotten oyster before presenting evidence.

[@TheInnovationShow]

And some candy before a pardon!

[@margaretwinson402]

So, we can't assume we're reacting reasonably...

[@nickidaisyreddwoodd5837]

It is all a bit befuddling in regards to ethics and there are no completely clear margins. But we all should agree that animal testing is violence and it is wrong.

[@xy1108]

I agree. Testing on animals no matter for what and why is always wrong. They are innocent victims and cannot defend themselves. Why man thinks this is ok is beyond me.

[@nickidaisyreddwoodd5837]

@@xy1108 Thank you for saying that.

[@hififlipper]

​@@xy1108 Animal testing is wrong, because it doesn´t necessarily lead to correct answers that are adaptable to humans.

[@nickidaisyreddwoodd5837]

In the dilemma situation I would Not push an innocent man onto the railroad even if that was to save 4 other people. I Could Not hurt an innocent being no matter what the situation "requires". I am Not a utilitarian philosopher. I am a Compassion philosopher. When we experience compassion in action potentials in our nervous system it has nothing to do with "enlightenment", bliss, fuzzy feelings, grandeur, grandstanding, whatever people might interpret into it. Compassion is actually painful because I suffer With the other. I don't see that many people in the world who experience this.

[@ciarraibuzz]

How about wishing that a thief and narcissist dies so that he won't cause anymore harm. Can you endorse that? I used to not be able to until recently.

Before blaming Hitler everyone should study Hitler’s Mom , like T. Bundy , and Ed Kemper , even Pablo Escobar , etc etc. but the way it’s portray is that its because of absent of their Fathers but what about the person that raised them ; and there you go that’s the answer to a long behavioral debate but unfortunately our Society is not ready to accept it. ( it’s always Adam’s fault but in reality it’s otherwise )
