i've completed the full cycle of procrastination, going so far into the depths of not doing homework that i end up watching a stanford intro class on youtube
The fact that we can access this lecture without having to attend Stanford is mind-blowing. What a time to be alive!
Just pointing put, someone wrote 57 minutes of subtitles for a lecture. Shout out to you my guy.
This just made me realize that I really haven’t had that many good teachers in my life
"yeah i took a class at stanford"
this guys looks exactly like what you'd expect a professor of human behavioral biology would look like
honestly, Its crazy how much easier information is retained when you voluntarily seek it. When i was in school i would have never listened to this and would have been dying to get out of there. Now that i have the ability to learn on my own time I retain and look for information on a much higher level. Incredible.
when you procrastinate so much you start watching lecture videos💀
you know a class is good when a 15 year old boy watches it voluntairily on his pc in his free time
I'm not only in awe of his knowledge, but about his speaking skills as well. This was 1 hour of him constantly speaking without using any 'uuuhs', stopping words or hesitations in forming sentences...like he was reading out a book! Insanely good
stanford: really hard to get into and 70k per year. also stanford: giving out their most interesting course for free on youtube. people in 2021: we're bored so yeah we're here.
I started watching this playlist some five years ago... I'm now a grad student... in neuroscience. Sapolsky... this very video, actually... was my first introduction to the field... that field became my life. Returning to this is a crazy experience.
This is the thing that YouTube needs to recommend more often and not about celebrities or bloggers babbling about their freaking stuffs.
No “uh’s” or “um’s” from this guy. Brilliant speaker.
This is the guy in every natural disaster/apocalyptic movie that makes an earth-shattering discovery that no one pays attention to; everyone dismisses him because he's a philosophical lecturer with a hippie beard -- but then the main hero notices something off, investigates and finds him, and together they make up the brains/brawn duo that saves the day. Bada-bing bada-boom.
I have been watching this video for 40 minutes right now. A: I do not study at Stanford B: I do not study anything related to biology C: I have a thermodynamics exam tomorrow
I didn't even graduate high school, but I'm here attending at Stanford.
I'm not even taking this class and I'm stressed about the midterm
This lecture is an example of how you are drawn to certain subjects in school solely because of the way it was taught. One can develop interest in any discipline just by learning from the good teachers. God bless you for making these lectures publicly available.
I'm so grateful for living in an era where this kind of content is available like this. I'm from Brazil and I wouldn't be able to listen to this amazing classes if Stanford and professor Sapolsky weren't so kind to make it available online. Thank you.
