I assume that this is not neceserrily a helpful thought for people with automimmune diseases, but maybe it is. Allegedly (I have not searched for primary sources for this and am just trusting Ropbert Sapolski in his Podcast with this) there is an eveolutionary connection between the Black Plague and autoimmune diseases. The claim here is that some genetic selection has happend by the Black Plague where some genetic combinations where "immune" to it or at least less likely to get infected or die from it and these genetic strains that are good for avoiding the Black Plague come with the side effect that they do increase the likelyhood of autoimmunic diseases. Of course, that is a wild claim, difficult to proof, and like everything in science just a theory that might be wrong - but assuming it might be correct: It makes me feel like sending a message to everyone with an autoimunic disease out there which is: Thank you for your service in the fight against the Black Plague. We (as in humanity as a whole) kind of owe you lot. Thank you for providing the heard immunity we need to keep this horrible disease in check.

I just came across this series of lectures on youtube, that I watched several years ago. Might be a good time to give those a re-watch. I can hightly recomend those, it has been one of the most interesting sereies of lectures I ever watched.

Just watching #RobertSapolsky talk about #fainting and ideas of why. He doesn't really cover fainting in nonhuman animals, but I've seen a chicken faint in traumatic circumstance and slowly recover afterwards. He suggests that it's especially adaptive for humans because we're bipedal so getting a bit of enforced horizontal time is likely to be good for preventing some kinds of blood loss ... well I suppose chickens are also bipedal, but...? 🤔

"Determined. The Science of Life Without Free Will" par Robert Sapolsky. Le libre arbitre n'existe pas selon le professeur de biologie, de neurologie et de neurochirurgie. J'adhère à sa pensée, mais j'ai beaucoup de mal avec la manière dont il développe ses théories dans ce livre (comme le précédent). Je m'y perds encore #robertsapolsky

I was going to use youtube videos to firstly introduce #RobertSapolsky then go to another which has a pinky-scarlet cover image (link below) on the topic of #Transgender neurobiology which has #Sapolsky relating the current understandings of neurobiology to how transgender folk function around #GenderIdentity. It's worth watching both for the science content and to see Robert's use of #Tone, #Attitude and #ChoiceOfPathTaken.

#Stanford #scientist, after decades of study, concludes: We don’t have #freewill

Питерсон это про индивидуальность, путь героя (по Ницше), или вот пример командной игры в которой игрок не желает «передавать пас неудачникам» (ещё как я понимаю, он позвал к себе на интервью Р.Сапольски, но говорил походу больше интервьюируемого)
Так же упоминает Достоевского, его гипотезе о сытости человека и вследствие чего отсутствии целей и мотивации для дальнейшего развития - тут же «эксперимент с крысами и кокаином» без выводов 😅
Первое впечатление что в разговоре будет батл интеллектуальных титанов (без сарказма), но Роберт, как я понял, не привык к подобным дискуссиям а он больше про монолог… К тому же они оба продукт (и скорей всего орудие) западной пропаганды. Неудивительно, что первый перетягиваемого нить повествования от идей сотрудничества и коллектива к идеям индивидуализации, а второй придёт к противоречиям самому себе, упоминая кучку крестьян, и какие то там «исследования про восточную Европу»…

How can #humans be so #compassionate and #altruistic -- and also so #brutal and #violent?

To understand why we do what we do, #neuroscientist #RobertSapolsky looks at extreme context, examining actions on timescales from seconds to millions of years before they occurred. In this fascinating talk, he shares his #cuttingedge research into the biology that drives our worst and best #behaviors.

Chego case de casualidade ao curso que Robert Sapolsky impartiu en Stanford co título "Human Behavioral Biology". O primeiro capítulo é divertidísimo, vou ollar o curso completo, e xa estou recopilando entrevistas e libros deste home.

@konsnylten Jag får medhåll från artikeln!

Väldigt spännande ämne. Jag har dessutom länge gillat och läst #RobertSapolsky (började med Mitt liv som babian, en bok som säkert faller @pergus i smaken), men det betyder inte att jag vill tro allt han skriver.
