Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2011/02/15/Robert_Sapolsky_Are_Humans_Just_Another_PrimateRobert Sapolsky, professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University, compares dopamine levels in monkeys and humans. Sapolsky argues that in both, "Dopamine is not about pleasure, it's about the anticipation of pleasure. It's about the pursuit of happiness." Unlike monkeys however, humans "keep those dopamine levels up for decades and decades waiting for the reward."----Dr. Robert Sapolsky is a professor of Biology and Neurology at Stanford University. He is a research associate at the National Museums of Kenya. Dr. Sapolsky is the author of several works of nonfiction, including A Primate's Memoir, The Trouble with Testosterone, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers and Monkeyluv: And Other Essays on Our Lives as Animals.

Mar 25, 2012 - Love Professor Sapolsky. But still can't figure out how someone so intelligent can not see God.

benandjerry3000 Says:

Mar 26, 2012 - Wow! Scientific proof of why humans are motivated to work hard and improve themselves in a "Free Market Capitalist" system instead of becoming lazy and entitled in a "Socialist" system. He probably shouldn't let his colleagues at Stanford hear this stuff. Most college professors are Liberal-Democrats but Sapolsky is inadvertently outlining Conservative-Republican principles. Sapolsky for President!

Mar 27, 2012 - Because it can only be "seen" by stupid people. Have you seen god yourself? Was he right in front of you? What does he look like? Moron.

Hotelmotelkfc Says:

Mar 28, 2012 - Whose the moron? You play children's video games and favour cartoons : D

Vlyn1991 Says:

Mar 28, 2012 - Well and you watch tv, eh? It's your life and you can do with it whatever you want. Btw.: The internet you are using is from intelligent people. Most of them don't believe in god. The next thing you say is you don't believe in evolution?Americans... they think they're clever but the rest of the world sees them as retarded.

benandjerry3000 Says:

Mar 28, 2012 - Evolution may simply be a brushstroke of God. It's quite absurd to conclude there is no creator just because we are able to see patterns or progressions within the design. A true scientist would acknowlege that in order to conclude that there is no creator; one would first have to be capable of examining all things in existance- from all angles (which of course no human is.) The "scientific method" only allows for an "I don't know" conclusion on this subject; within its own paradigm.The mo

Mar 28, 2012 - It's also absurd to say there is a god or higher deity, what's your point?

benandjerry3000 Says:

Mar 31, 2012 - The point is- whether there is a God or not should be pending

May 19, 2012 - Check out a poem I wrote and animated titled 'Dopamine' which discusses the relationship between dopamine, drugs, and what true happiness really is, from a philosophical standpoint. /watch?v=-iwjlJ-vQwU

mwells219 Says:

May 25, 2012 - No. The concept of the universe creator is not falsifiable in an experimental manner. Until you can produce a creator that can be observed with direct sensory observation and data collecting more than once, you cannot logically claim that there is a being that created the universe and is guiding evolution.

benandjerry3000 Says:

May 26, 2012 - Everybody! Just watch; "Robert Anton Wilson Explains Quantum Physics" on Youtube, and you'll see why I thought Sapolsky was jumping the gun on wether or not there is a creator.
