Na Copa do Mundo, os atletas podem usar CBD, mas a maioria deles não sabe disso, ou sabe e teme cair no doping se o produto tiver algum resquício de THC – uma das ferramentas mais promissoras para sono, ansiedade e recuperação muscular que continua cercada por desinformação, preconceito e restrições.No episódio 117 do Cannabis Hoje Pod, eu converso com o ortopedista e médico do esporte Jimmy Fardin, que acompanha milhares de futebolistas e atletas de vários esportes em sua trajetória com a cannabis. Falamos sobre o que já é permitido no esporte, o que ainda provoca resistência nos clubes e por que o CBD começa a ganhar espaço no futebol – ainda que nenhum jogador aceite falar disso abertamente. Também discutimos uma pergunta que divide médicos, dirigentes e reguladores: se o THC fosse permitido, o que os atletas realmente ganhariam com isso?Dá o play para entender por que a cannabis pode se tornar uma das protagonistas invisíveis desta Copa.***Jimmy indicaComporte-se - Robert Sapolsky (livro)***Encontre o Jimmy no Instahttps://www.instagram.com/drjimmyfardin/no Linkedinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmy-fardin-rocha-3b7425128/***MARCAS APOIADORAS DA 5ª TEMPORADAEssas são marcas que valorizam a comunicação responsável e o jornalismo de excelência como pilares para orientar o desenvolvimento do setor.USA Hemp: https://www.usahempbrasil.com/Blis: https://appblis.com.br/AbecMed: https://abecmed.com.br/Master Plants: https://masterplants.com.br/aLeda: https://aleda.com.br/***Para seguir por dentro dos avanços da cannabis e dos psicodélicosAssine a news: https://cannabishoje.substack.com/Siga no Insta: https://www.instagram.com/cannabishoje/Inscreva-se no Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@cannabishojeAcesse: https://cannabishoje.com.br/

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, Tom Bilyeu dives deep into one of the most provocative questions facing science and philosophy: Do we really have free will, or are we all just highly sophisticated NPCs—non-player characters—running a program inside a vast, resource-efficient simulation? Drawing on groundbreaking neuroscience experiments, the story of Phineas Gage, quantum mechanics, and the work of leading thinkers like Robert Sapolsky, Tom Bilyeu challenges everything we think we know about choice, consciousness, and the true nature of reality.But this isn't an episode about nihilism. Instead, Tom Bilyeu reveals why embracing the truth of a stochastically deterministic universe can actually make life feel more meaningful, freeing us from the weight of the past and inspiring us to make the most of every moment—programmed or not.

Leo en redes unas conclusiones de Robert Sapolsky, neurocientífico de Stanford, sobre rutas cerebrales del estrés, y una relación de diez hábitos para evitarlas o al menos reconocerlas.

In this episode of the Joy Lab Podcast, Dr. Aimee Prasek and Dr. Henry Emmons dig into one of the most counterintuitive resilience skills we can build: turning toward negative emotions instead of running from them. This isn't about wallowing. It's about befriending the feelings that are already there so they can actually move through you, instead of getting lodged and piling up.  We're talking fear (the emotion at the core of so many others), the science of emotions vs. feelings, why your emotional immune system needs exposure to develop, and three grounded steps (embody, observe, yield) to help you navigate the next emotional flurry before it becomes a blizzard. This one pairs beautifully with our Grief Series (starting at Episode 248) and our last episode on the observer self. Whether you're new to this work or deep in it, there's something here for you.   Try It Free

Hoje, minhas queridas, nós mergulhamos em um dos temas mais profundos e libertadores da nossa existência: por que fazemos o que fazemos?Inspirado no livro Comporte-se, de Robert Sapolsky, este episódio é um convite para você compreender que dentro de você existe muito mais do que apenas suavidade. Existe história, biologia, instinto… e uma força que talvez você tenha sido ensinada a silenciar.Falamos sobre hormônios, cérebro, evolução — mas, acima de tudo, falamos sobre o feminino em sua forma mais inteira. Aquele que acolhe, que ama, que cria vínculos… mas também aquele que protege, que reage, que se posiciona com intensidade quando necessário.Aqui, você vai perceber que não há contradição em ser doce e firme ao mesmo tempo. Não há erro em sentir profundamente. Não há exagero em proteger aquilo que é sagrado para você.Existe apenas… você sendo completa.Um episódio para te lembrar que a sua sensibilidade não é fraqueza — e que a sua força não te afasta da feminilidade. Ela faz parte dela.Com amor, Vi

Gjest: Hallgeir Kvadsheim Hva har deltakere i Luksusfellen og folk i "miljøet" på Evangeliesenteret til felles? I denne episoden dykker vi ned i den moderne norske underklassens estetikk og økonomi.

No podcast da MIT Technology Review Brasil, Rafael Coimbra e Carlos Aros exploram como a neurociência tem tensionado essa ideia ao longo das últimas décadas.A partir dos estudos de Uri Maoz e de experimentos clássicos como os de Benjamin Libet, o episódio analisa evidências de que nossas decisões podem surgir antes da consciência, revelando camadas mais complexas entre impulso, intenção e racionalidade.A discussão também incorpora visões de Daniel Kahneman e Robert Sapolsky, além de avançar para um ponto central: o que diferencia decisões humanas de sistemas de inteligência artificial em um cenário de crescente automação.Se a sensação de escolha for apenas uma construção, qual é o impacto disso nas decisões que você toma todos os dias.Ouça o episódio completo e amplie sua perspectiva sobre o tema.

He's one of the world's leading neuroscientists, with a focus on the physiological effects of stress. (For years, he spent his summers in Kenya, alone except for the baboons he was observing.) Steve asks Robert why we value human life over animals, why he's lost faith in the criminal-justice system, and how to look casual when you're about to blow-dart a very large and potentially unhappy primate.

In this episode of the goodsugar Podcast, hosts Ralph Sutton and Marcus Antebi dive into one of the most fascinating and controversial questions in philosophy and neuroscience: do we actually have free will, or is everything predetermined?Broadcasting remotely from Miami, Marcus opens up about a deeply personal situation involving his father's battle with Alzheimer's, leading to an emotional and thought-provoking conversation about memory, identity, and how much control we truly have over our lives.From there, the discussion expands into a powerful debate on free will vs determinism, exploring ideas from leading thinkers like neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky and philosopher Noam Chomsky. The hosts break down concepts like:• How genetics, upbringing, and environment shape our decisions • The difference between micro choices and macro choices • Whether habits, anxiety, and emotional states limit our freedom • If personal transformation is proof that free will exists • The role of cause and effect in shaping our livesThis episode blends real-life experiences, humor, and deep philosophical insight, making complex ideas accessible and engaging.

Buku "Behave" karya Robert Sapolsky merupakan sebuah eksplorasi mendalam yang menantang pemahaman konvensional kita tentang perilaku manusia melalui pendekatan garis waktu yang unik. Sapolsky berargumen bahwa tidak ada satu faktor tunggal yang bisa menjelaskan mengapa seseorang melakukan tindakan tertentu, melainkan hasil dari interaksi berlapis-lapis mulai dari aktivitas saraf dalam hitungan detik sebelum kejadian hingga pengaruh evolusi ribuan tahun silam. Dengan membedah mekanisme otak seperti pertarungan antara amigdala yang impulsif dan korteks prefrontal yang rasional, ia menunjukkan bahwa tindakan "terbaik" dan "terburuk" kita sebenarnya merupakan hasil dari sirkuit biologis yang sama namun bereaksi terhadap konteks lingkungan yang berbeda. Salah satu tema sentral dalam karya ini adalah bagaimana biologi kita secara mendasar dirancang untuk membagi dunia menjadi kelompok "Kami" dan "Mereka." Sapolsky menjelaskan secara brilian bahwa hormon seperti oksitosin—yang sering dipuja sebagai hormon cinta—ternyata juga berperan dalam memperkuat prasangka terhadap orang asing demi melindungi kelompok internal. Melalui lensa neurobiologi dan sosiologi, buku ini mengungkapkan bahwa prasangka sosial dan agresi bukanlah sekadar pilihan moral yang sederhana, melainkan manifestasi dari sistem pertahanan purba yang dipicu oleh hormon stres, warisan budaya, dan sejarah perkembangan individu yang membentuk arsitektur otak sejak masa kanak-kanak. Pada akhirnya, "Behave" membawa pembaca pada kesimpulan yang provokatif mengenai konsep keadilan dan kehendak bebas di era modern. Dengan memahami bahwa perilaku adalah produk dari jutaan variabel biologis yang sebagian besar berada di luar kendali sadar kita, Sapolsky mengajak kita untuk mengganti model hukuman yang penuh kebencian dengan pemahaman sistemik yang lebih manusiawi. Meskipun ia mengakui kompleksitas biologi yang seringkali suram, ia tetap menawarkan optimisme bahwa plastisitas otak dan kemampuan manusia untuk menyadari mekanisme biologisnya sendiri memberikan peluang besar bagi kita untuk menjadi spesies yang lebih pemaaf, berempati, dan bijaksana dalam menyikapi perbedaan.

Cortisol gets blamed for everything from sleepless nights to stubborn belly fat, but the real story is far more complicated. Dr. Sanjay Gupta talks with Dr. Robert Sapolsky, a neuroscientist, biologist, and Stanford University professor, and author of Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, about what this stress hormone actually does and why it matters. Sapolsky explains how chronic stress affects sleep, metabolism, mood, and long‑term health, and shares what we can learn from creatures who manage stress far better than we do... including how you might do the same.   Our show was produced by Jennifer Lai.   Medical Writer: Andrea Kane Showrunner: Amanda Sealy Senior Producer: Dan Bloom Technical Director: Dan Dzula Learn more about your ad choices.

Is there such a thing as free will or are our actions pre-determined by our genes and the environment?

Five years ago, Michael Pollan — the acclaimed author of The Botany of Desire, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and How to Change Your Mind — went looking for an answer to one of life's great mysteries: "How does three pounds of brain matter generate subjective experience?" The result is his luminous new book, A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness, which comes out tomorrow. Great journalists like Michael have a nose for story and a knack for timing. Both are on display in A World Appears. It's a page-turner teeming with maverick characters. It's a startling look at the emerging science of plant sentience. And it's an urgent exploration of a question we can't afford to ignore: Could consciousness — that is, "subjective or felt experience," the trippy miracle that when we open our eyes, a world appears — emerge in AI? * * * A World Appears is the Next Big Idea Club's latest selection.

¿Qué haces cuando tus padres que fueron ya no reconocen ni tu nombre? Cuidar a un padre que se desvanece es la trampa más cruel de la vida.En esta conversación con Santiago Schlesinger, bajamos al sótano de la culpa y el agotamiento. No hablamos de consejos románticos, sino de la verdad que se atraviesa sin piedad: el estrés crónico de ver el deterioro de una vida que se apaga sin remedio.Hoy cuestionamos los límites de la "piedad" y esa soledad profunda que sientes mientras el mundo sigue su curso, pero tú estás detenido frente a una cama de hospital.En este video escucharás:La emboscada del cuidador: Por qué pasas de ser protegido a protector de un desconocido.La trampa de la esperanza: Cómo la ciencia (Robert Sapolsky) explica que esperar un milagro te está matando.Dignidad vs. Supervivencia: ¿Somos más piadosos con los animales que con nuestros propios padres?El fin de la culpa: Entender que querer huir no te hace malo, te hace humano.

An individual "is responsible for everything he does," claimed Sartre. And from criminal justice to creative expression, free will and responsibility are central to our culture and our personal lives. Yet neuroscientists and materialist thinkers commonly maintain that freedom is an illusion. And it remains unknown how the core principles of freedom and responsibility can be reconciled with this outlook. Many attempts have been made to argue that the two seemingly contradictory frameworks can be made compatible. But critics say these "compatibilist" arguments are unconvincing and are driven merely by the attempt to make scientific materialism acceptable. Furthermore, whilst surveys suggest most materialist philosophers believe we can reconcile the two, the majority of us reject the idea that an action can be both determined and free.Paul Bloom is a Canadian-American psychologist, bestselling author, and celebrated speaker.

Keby ste sa z ničoho nič ocitli v mocenskej pozícii, odolali by ste nutkaniu napchať si vrecká či pomstiť sa svojim nepriateľom? Je pravda, že moc korumpuje? Rodia sa ľudia ako tyrani, alebo sa nimi stávajú? Sú defraudanti a policajti, ktorí zavraždia väzneného, výsledkom nefunkčného systému, alebo sú to jednoducho zlí ľudia? Tieto a mnohé ďalšie otázky si kladie politológ Brian Klaas, ktorý za svoju kariéru vyspovedal viac ako päťsto vplyvných osôb. Nachádzali sa medzi nimi prezidenti, povstalci, diktátori či filantropi. Zaujímalo ho teda, čo je to moc, kto ju získava a čo sa deje po jej uchopení. Je možné, že moc priťahuje istý typ ľudí a ide práve o tých, ktorí by ju nemali mať? A čo je dôležitejšie, prečo im ju my ostatní vlastne vkladáme do rúk? K zaujímavým zisteniam napríklad patrí, že výzor kandidáta ovplyvňuje naše rozhodnutie vo voľbách viac, ako si pripúšťame. Mnohí despoti sú naživo šarmantní a človek ich charizme ľahko podľahne. Niektorých ľudí, naopak, moc vôbec neláka a iných k nej zas priťahujú psychopatické impulzy. Tak či onak, zachovali by sme sa za istých okolností na ich mieste rovnako? „Zábavné a pútavé… Klaas šikovným literárnym rukopisom opisuje, ako pozície ponúkajúce moc a možnosti obohatenia obsahujú stimuly, ktoré priťahujú nesprávny typ ľudí.“ —Washington Post „Fascinujúce a zábavné čítanie… Klaas má pozoruhodné postrehy, prezentuje bezchybnú vedu prístupným spôsobom a rozpráva skvelé príbehy – to všetko so skvelým písaním a úžasne jedovatým humorom.“ —Robert Sapolsky, najpredávanejší autor podľa New York Times Audiokniha: Moc Autor: Brian Klaas Interpret: Milo Kráľ Dĺžka: 12:02 h Vydavateľstvo: Publixing Audiokniha Moc na webe Publixing (MP3 na stiahnutie) Audiokniha Moc na webe Audiolibrix (MP3 na stiahnutie)

The brain acts in strange ways during wartime. Even in active combat situations, when soldiers are one mistake away from death, many can’t fire on their enemies because their brain is triggering compassion centers against other soldiers. Studies of World War II show that while soldiers were willing to risk death, only 15% to 20% fired their weapons in intense combat, indicating a reluctance to kill. That’s why successful military leaders were able to motivate their soldiers with ideas of unfairness and justice, that their enemies weren’t human to make them better at fighting and killing. All this goes to show that if you want to understand war, you have to understand how the brain makes sense of it. Does war make all of us retreat to our lizard brain and act on pure instinct – so the only way to win is pumping out manipulative propaganda to the masses and use modern technologies like AI and social media exploit the brain's cognitive vulnerabilities? Well, many nations like Russia and China are already using these to their advantage. Or can we bring higher thinking to the matter? Is a researcher like Robert Sapolsky right when he argues that we can stop wars by persuading enough people that it is bad and pointless. Today’s guest is Nicholas Wright, author of “Warhead: How the Brain Shapes War and War Shapes the Brain.” He’s a neuroscientist and advisor to the Pentagon. We explore how our brains respond under pressure and how these instincts can shape everything from battlefield outcomes to boardroom decisions. He argues that while conflict is inevitable, it’s not unmanageable - if we understand how the brain drives fear, trust, aggression, and judgment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Texting and email may be convenient, but sometimes a phone call is the best way to make a real connection. So how do you ensure the person actually calls you back? I'll reveal a few clever tricks — backed by communication science — that can dramatically increase your chances. Source: Bill Jensen, author of Simplicity Survival Handbook (https://amzn.to/3MMDmt7) Have you ever achieved something big… only to feel restless right after? That's the strange emotional hangover of success — what my guest Laura Gassner Otting calls Wonderhell. It's that moment when your achievement opens the door to an even bigger dream — and with it, pressure, doubt, and possibility. Laura, frequent guest on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and Harvard Business Review, joins me to unpack this fascinating space between accomplishment and ambition from her book Wonderhell: Why Success Doesn't Feel Like It Should and What to Do About It (https://amzn.to/40EycFi). Do we truly have free will — or are all our choices predetermined by biology and circumstance? Some scientists say free will is an illusion. Others, like Kevin Mitchell, argue that evolution gave us control over our decisions. Kevin, associate professor of genetics and neuroscience at Trinity College Dublin and author of Free Agents: How Evolution Gave Us Free Will (https://amzn.to/49vncy2), joins me to explore what neuroscience, genetics, and philosophy reveal about human choice — and why it matters for everything from morality to justice. (For the counterargument, check out my earlier conversation with Robert Sapolsky: https://www.somethingyoushouldknow.net/566-do-we-really-have-free-will-how-to-handle-rejection-better/) And finally — you've probably heard people say, “That's a whole nother story.” But is nother even a real word?

If AI destroys all human purpose, what will give our lives meaning when machines can do everything better than us? Josh Trent welcomes Tom Bilyeu to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 782, to uncover why AI is forcing humanity to confront who we really are, what gives life meaning when machines outpace us, and how reclaiming our biological and spiritual essence may be the only path forward.

We all think of ourselves as authors of our lives. The difference between our happy ending and someone else's tragic one are the choices we each make. But what if none of that's true? Sean's guest today is Robert Sapolsky, a biologist and neuroscientist at Stanford University and author of Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will. They dig into Sapolsky's claim that free will is an illusion and discuss what the science says about genes, stress, culture, and how all this research might reframe the way we think about meritocracy, blame, punishment, and even hatred. This episode originally aired in November of 2023.

Are we even responsible for what we do? Should we be held morally accountable? If human beings are ultimately chemical reactions playing themselves out over time, then can we even control what we do? Can the future even be altered? Robert Sapolsky article: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/16/science/free-will-sapolsky.htmlTarik's Blog: https://einsteinforeveryone.substack.com/

He is interested in the development of connectivity in the brain, specifically in how this process is controlled by genes and how mutations in such genes affect the connectivity of neuronal circuits, influence behavior and perception and contribute to disease. His latest book is Free Agents: How Evolution Gave Us Free Will. In this episode, we start by talking about free will. We discuss free will at the molecular level and the different levels of analysis. We discuss top-down causation and process philosophy. We talk about decision-making, why certain possibilities spring to mind and not others, and why it can pay off to behave randomly sometimes. We also discuss whether AI could have free will. We then talk about Dr. Mitchell's debates with Dr. Robert Sapolsky, and how we should reframe the free will debate within science. We discuss the genomic code, and how the genome instantiates a generative model of the organism. Finally, we talk about the science and ethics of human embryo editing, and the trouble with eugenics.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode my guest is Dr. Robert Sapolsky, PhD, a professor of biology, neurology and neurological sciences at Stanford University.   We discuss different types of stress and how our perception of stress as harmful or beneficial largely depends on context. He also explains how testosterone amplifies pre-existing behaviors and tendencies, and he highlights the crucial role of estrogen in supporting brain and body health. We also discuss daily cognitive practices for stress mitigation and how modern life, influenced by social media and complex social hierarchies, shapes our responses to stress.

Send us a textThe most valuable commodity on Earth isn't gold or uranium or fresh air and clean water, it's Free Will. In the last month or so I've gone deep into the angelic realms with some celestial guides. One common thread between all angels, guides, Spirit, God, Jesus, Israfil, Buddha, ancestors and any other being is that each human has Free Will. In order to be of assistance, or charm our dang lives, we have to ask. In split second, life or death instances, our Higher Self gives an immediate response to forces that wish to intercede on our behalf, knowing this version of us most likely will take too long to respond and be saved. But those dramatic instances aside, I've noticed in different ways from a myriad of groups as well as individuals, including some in the woo community, we are being lulled into giving away. From the jokey, "Jesus take the wheel," to the Meteor 2024 bumper stickers, to sessions with shady shamen that involve hallucinogens, to Super Bowl ads, some meditations, alien ideation, and more, the messages were unrelenting and unsettling, and I feel called to highlight this valuable commodity. There's a professor at Stanford who believes none of us has Free Will.  If we receive breadcrumbs from the Universe through dreams or synchronicities and choose to follow them, is that still using Free Will?Add to the mix the mystical week I've had that led me to drive back to the pet grooming business to deliver a message, and I'm certain this will be a juicy episode.Let's get into it.Show Sources and Next Reads/Watches/Listens:A Stanford Neuroscientist that Believes Free Will Does Not Exist, YouTube, BigThink interview with Robert SapolskySynchronicities from the Library of Thoth, YouTubeSuch an intriguing conversation about myths and free willDetermined: A Science of Life without Free Will, Robert Sapolsky, Amazon.comSynchronicity: What is it, does it exist, and if so — how can you recognize it in your life?, Sylvia Clare, Medium.com Have you tried the GoodPods app yet?

We are reviewing our year and our successes and failures with our New Year's Resolutions, and we're sharing our intentions for next year. We learn about a study by Robert Sapolsky that argues that testosterone does not increase aggression, but instead emphasizes existing tendencies and encourages people to behave in socially encouraged ways that already exist. But we have questions and concerns about his conclusions and wonder why when male animals of all species hit puberty they behave in ways that are highly aggressive in contrast to their pre-pubescent selves. We also hear about a man who claims he became trapped in the mouth of a humpback whale, and we find out why this situation was not out of the ordinary for him.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

Stress isn't just in your head—it's rewiring your brain. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Robert Sapolsky to dive into the science of stress and its profound impact on mental and physical health. We explore how chronic stress damages the brain, particularly the hippocampus, leading to cognitive decline and mood disorders. Tune in to learn powerful strategies for managing stress, from mindfulness to exercise, and discover what it means for your health and society at large. In this episode, we discuss: The difference between short-term (acute) stress, which can be beneficial in small doses, and long-term (chronic) stress The impact of stress on brain health The argument that free will is an illusion, as our decisions and behaviors are largely driven by complex biological processes and environmental factors How stress interacts with genes and the environment, influencing behavior, health outcomes, and the body's ability to cope with stress How chronic stress triggers inflammation throughout the body, contributing to various health problems Effective ways to manage stress, including mindfulness, physical exercise, and proper nutrition View Show Notes From This Episode Get Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hyman Sign Up for Dr. Hyman's Weekly Longevity Journal This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Pendulum, Thrive Market, and Our Place.

If everything happens for a reason, and those reasons are beyond our control, maybe we don't have free will after all. Robert Sapolsky, professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss his case against free will, which he says is the logical choice if you look at the ways our lives are shaped by forces that start from our very biology. And we'll hear why, even without this control, we are still bound to be moral and decent humans. His book is “Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will.”

Will physics ever be able to explain consciousness? What if our entire understanding of reality is just an illusion shaped by evolution? Could the universe be a sophisticated virtual reality created by our own minds for our own good?

Most of us take free will for granted — from the biggest of life decisions to choosing an ice cream flavor, we are generally capable of freely deciding how to think and how to behave without outside influence. But Robert Sapolsky believes our decisions cannot be disentangled from our genetics, environment, and neurobiology. In other words, to him, free will does not exist. Dr. Sapolsky, a neuroscientist and primatologist at Stanford University, is a leading thinker on the biology of stress, human behavior, neurodegenerative diseases, and the science of free will and determinism. He is the author of multiple bestselling books, including Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers (1994), Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst (2017), and Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will (2023). His works have been featured widely in the popular press, from National Geographic to The New York Times. Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Sapolsky presents his arguments against free will, along the way making detours through chaos and complexity theory, philosophy, ethics, and neuroscience. He shows how subtracting free will from the way culture thinks about crime, mental health, and human development have resulted in more humane health, justice, and educational systems. Finally, we contemplate together what human flourishing even means in the context of a life without free will. His ideas have profound implications not just on our society, but also on our understanding of human nature, challenging our perceptions and provoking deep reflection on how we navigate the choices in our lives.In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:08 - How Dr. Sapolsky chose a career straddling both neuroscience and primatology5:04 - The moment when Dr. Sapolsky realized he did not believe humans have free will16:16 - How society becomes more humane when free will is factored out23:29 - The deep implications that free will and determinism could have on criminology 34:13 - How a belief in a lack of free will can negatively affect motivation on a societal scale43:11 - What does human flourishing look like in a world without free will? 48:07 - The best moments in life in which to utilize this understanding of free will Dr. Robert Sapolsky has authored numerous publications, a full bibliography of his works can be found here. Dr. Robert Sapolsky can be found on Instagram at @robert.sapolskyWorks and past episodes discussed:What's Expected of Us by Ted Chiang Episode 79: Transcendence in the Age of Science | Alan Lightman, PhDVisit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Copyright The Doctor's Art Podcast 2024
