  • Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing Professor Robert Sapolsky gives a lecture on language. He describes the similarities and differences between different human and animal languages

  • @vickprint Was he a source in Zietgeist Moving Forward? I can't remember the guy's name from it.

  • I'm so high.....And I'm so lost in his words, that I'm not.

  • I love when he says (23:00): you guys come down here and i will get up there and check my emails

  • Stanford, could you please forward this message to Professor Robert Sapolsky, I'd be willing to get him really high and listen to him for hours. I mean, indica or sativa, whatever his taste(he seems like a sativa guy to me, but maybe thats just my preference) I'd be willing to keep the bongloads going as long as he could talk, any subject or just freestyle.

  • The 'biology of religion'? You have to post that one!!

  • A chimp did generative grammar.

    Grounds: Cocoa's specific lies to researchers signified unique ideas.

    I bet Terrace was an ambitious behaviorist.

  • @lvwarren It's the beard.
