Stress Response: Savior to Killer

[rsmccli]

(On baboons) ...if you only have to work 3 hours a day, you've got 9 hours of free time every day to devote to making somebody else just miserable.

Nice.

It is a nice educative video on stress. There is a study by Prof. Eccles of Oxford Univ. (UK) where he observed neurons in SMA of brain to be active ven after full sedation of the body. This activity was attributed to signals from exterior. He conjectured that such interactions get recorded in a non-physical sheath that surround SMA and that will not die with the body. Ancient Indian scriptures have dealt with this aspect in detail called SAMSKARA's .

I love this man... Logic is a godly gift.

[MsAgnosticatheist]

I love Robert Sapolsky because he is smart and doesn't apologize for it. The things he says makes me feel like I'm also intelligent, because it is the same things I either knew or figured out a while ago when I finally understood evolution. All you have to do is observe the animal kingdom and the world around you and you will see evolution unfolding before your eyes and how everything makes perfect sense. I'm so smart and there is no one to listen to me though :(.

A storm woke me up at 3am, switched on the TV and this PBS program got me hooked until 4am. This professor rocks, so thankful people like him exsist. Amazing show I couldn't stop talking about it the next day, now here I am looking it up :)

[hupper12345]

this guy is really inspirig.

[HumanJarv]

I am stressed to the max, could definitely use some help.

[luvadoodles]

What a great Documentary. It is streaming on Netfilx if anyone has not seen the full episode. I'm definitely interested in reading some of his books.

[FranciscoKGuerreiro]

Sapolsky is the best..thanks for your effort in understanding our human behavior..

[JoeyTZM]

The full DOC is on youtube guys... just search; Stress,Portrait of a Killer =)

[rabbitwho]

3:33 Anyone know what that music is?

[bwarden85]

Fuck...Now i'm stressed about being stressed!

[jeffsdolphin]

the smartest man ever..........the dude of research

[jeffsdolphin]

soldier in combat for the 1st time...

[AerosmithNirvana]

Unfortunately, it is National Geographic who actually owns it, so Stanford really has no say in how it is released.

[lollercakes9]

This is no time to ovulate.

[innerzestnlp]

i love his honesty obviously im stressed if i spend 80 hrs studying stress.

Type a and cant cope classic

[runtubefantasy]

I want to go to Stanford but I'm going to major in nursing so I cannot =[

[podfunk]

Sapolsky's a superb lecturer. I'd heartily recommend his Teaching Company lectures on 'Biology and Human Behaviour' to anyone who enjoyed this clip. Fascinating.

[sarastar60]

Hey don't stress out, soon there will be a stress vaccine. TIC

[SweetPurpleHaze4]

@sarastar60 THC*

[darthspeaks]

Who would dislike this?

[ronjohnDC]

Had to watch this video for class. NEVER ENROLL IN STRAYER UNIVERSITY

[TruthfuLie]

"9 hours to devote to making someone else just MISERABLE."

hahahaha I love how he says it.

[ABOSOLUTEKNOWLEDGE]

the nerve cells in my ass

know more the standford scietist

[heytoall]

If you are going to comment; could you atleast spell it right?

[psychobollox]

how's it feel to be such a fuckwit that you can't get your own name right?

[s117godd]

@ABOSOLUTEKNOWLEDGE Don't fool yourself with you cool-sounding Youtube name. You're a punk-assed faggot who can't look past your prejudices.

Look at 1) His 52-minute lecture at stanford and 2) his lecture on human uniqueness.

Sapolsky isn't some 2-cent tenured professor. He's a researcher who knows his shit AND is expanding the field of science liek a professor's supposed to.

[ABOSOLUTEKNOWLEDGE]

if ur impressed with this below avarage 2 cent profesor and what he dose, ur are probably a dumass,

real scientist build time machines, build iterdimensional space ships jointly with aliens, work on mars or moon bases

but i bet u have no clue what im talking about , and i must of also hurt ur feelings, couse ur a fag and called out ur fag profesor 2

snap lol

[s117godd]

@ABOSOLUTEKNOWLEDGE your callin me a dumbass? ill beat your ass you stupid fuck you beliv in alenis and spaceshit so fuck you cunt

[samuelkim1]

@ABOSOLUTEKNOWLEDGE lessiee

well we have no scientist working on time machines at the moement, although theories on time travel ahve been popping up for awhile now.

so none there.

no ones building interdimensional spaceships due to the sheer primitive nature of humans at the moment, not to mention no ever recorded knowledge of aliens with our human race, so none there as well.

there are a select few who DO work on moon missions, and hopefully later the mars missions.

[samuelkim1]

@samuelkim1 soooo thats likeeeee an extreme few of the astrophysicists who are considered 'real' scientists then? oh dear, i guess science phds are practically worthless then.

[ABOSOLUTEKNOWLEDGE]

regular bulshiit

from a 2 cent scietist

who gonna be eaten alive by a lion some day

couse th epunk ass not carrya gun lol

[psychobollox]

LoL

evidently you cannot think in the abstract, can you?

[ChuckyJesus666]

I wish they could put the whole documentary online. Also the medical community needs to catch up with these findings.

[shinkengatsxa]

no, the PEOPLE need to catch up with these findings and their implications...

[ChuckyJesus666]

That too, but my own personal experience with cardiologists this past year is that they haven't heard of this.

[lovnlif]

saw this last night on wgbh - - it was an amazing story line!!! highly recommend it!

[thewilddivine]

Very interesting video, takes a very direct look at stress. Must be a fascinating course.

[kittypie070]

The mass media does not help, constantly pumping FEAR FEAR FEAR into the psychic atmosphere either.

And they do it to make money off the people they frighten and stress.

Money.

[shinkengatsxa]

it's on purpose it's how th ealpha males dominate the rest of society, we just do it much much more elaboratly. to confuse and devide.

sex in the media

all the shit advertised to women

sexism advertised to men

wealth being glorified

[happilylil]

i take Vilift and it's really working for me, it gave me back my life and i am really for having it back.

[scotpens]

2:33 -- "Run for your life! This is no time to ovulate!"

I'm sure I can use that line somewhere.

This guy is right when he talks about "psychological bullshit." I say, bring back REAL danger in our lives! Take up some extreme sport like base jumping or freestyle motocross. After you've stared death in the face and lived to tell about it, I guarantee your stress level will go down.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to prepare for the shark wrestling tournament tomorrow.

[uberspecialfizz]

ah i love the whole mad hair hippy teacher vibe about this guy. great vid :)

[alexross8]

Why do all the weirdos have long hair?

[soniccage]

He's not a weirdo ?

[SHAenima]

Very interesting. This makes me want to study human pyschology.

[checkzitout]

PSYchology :-)

[shamash007]

Standford, pleeeeeeeeeese put the full video online for free!

[santie6111]

@shamash007 You can watch it on netflix or even national geographic

[jonald32z]

@shamash007 It's a National Geographic video. For anyone that has Netflix it's available there on-line.

[llothar68]

@jonald32z

Netflix is USA only, thats the problem.

[GaryHilburger]

As a second-generation Parkinson's Patient, I witnessed the father whose example taught me the great lessons of life save the best until last, one that I now pass on to my children.

But the visible component - the tremors and dyskenesia - are mild by comparison to the disabling effects of stress that cause panic attacks so severe that death by cardiac arrest seemed always imminent and, taken with increasing slowness of mental processes and inability to self-monitor my own tasks, ended my work

[shoegooguru]

check out :31 Lion gets a taste of some Zebra Judo!!!

Hey...if you turn this guys head upside down, he looks the same!!!!!

[HABBOnorway]

haha lol so nurdy!

[threelegduck]

sapolskiiiiiiii

[nightowl2be]

I woke up with this on and I caught the last 15 minutes of it. It was very fascinating, especially since I got a degree in psychology and my mom is one of those mothers with a disabled child, my brother. I was wondering when it would be on again?

[threelegduck]

i don't know ... i'm gonna try to look for it again now. let me know if you find it + i'll do likewise

[MacSmiley]

I just watched this entire program on PBS on Wednesday night. It is absolutely outstanding. Stanford, you should put every minute of this program online for free viewing... as a public service.

[CharlieT301]

Great video!

[Chilldogg]

Great video. We love the animals of the Mara!!!

[Lihinel]

Nice introduction on why one should have a personal interest in trying to understand the mechanics of his own brain at least a bit.

Thx for the upload.

[JayashriV]

wow! nice video. thanks. :D
