Incredible lecture, such an impressive man. What's so beautiful is his ability to be such a perfectly objective observer, to see patterns and entrenched behaviours, and to understand/explain them in scientific terms without ever a hint of moral judgment. Love it.

Sapolsky is quite a brilliant speaker!

The greatest thing about the internet is access to information and having guys like Robert around just further supports that claim
