I watched his lectures on YouTube during the lock down. Super comfy.

Legend. His Stanford lectures on behavioral biology gave me a quite a view on the activities of our species and no mistake.
About time I went back and re-learn; gotten somewhat misanthropic as of late.

I watched his lecture on the falsification of grandmother neurons, really cool stuff.

I've seen his videos on YouTube and love the dude. I think he is very I objective and definitely a good professor and not there to push a agenda.

He's a cook.
Neuropsychiatry isn't a science because it starts with socio-teleological presuppositions which are steeped in cultural expectation bias.

The fact he's made insane claims like "all negativity and avoidance is due to chemical imbalances caused by genetics" is dumb enough, but he's also bumped heads with Pinker about how far "non-blank slates" go.

The reality is that Sapolsky makes assertions and shows no self-awareness when he starts presupposing the "way" things are supposed to be, and his claims about how things are supposed to be "corrected" lacks basic epistemic content.

Ah, yes.
His "depression is a chemical imbalance" hypothesis, which was reject universally by Sulk, WHO, NCBI, NIH, NIMH and his own university because he made assertions he couldn't back up.
True genius.
I thought this was the science board.
Where's the "no teleology" and "falsification requirement" posters at?

The NIH is a collection of institutes and centers which includes NCBI and NIMH. NCBI coordinates and funds databases and other repositories and has nothing to do with neurochemistry or 'debunking' scientists. NIMH, on the other hand, has gotten a massive hard on molecular biology of neurochemistry within the past two decades. Pick a program director or PI from NIMH at random, and they'll almost certainly tell you that depressive diseases involve neurochemical abnormalities.

His behavioral biology course is basically a way of easing people into race realism without them getting shocked and becoming a nazi

How did you watch it and somehow arrive at that conclusion?

With that beard and that voice I thought he was very recognizable..
But in all seriousness I think that being featured in zeitgeist (the xennial conspiracy movie) made him really famous.
